Cracking Ecommerce from 3 Perspectives @ lool ventures
- May 14, 2014 · 6:00 PM
E-Commerce is rapidly growing. Brick & mortar brands are getting into the battlefield where innovative platforms and technologies keep changing the rules of the game. What does it take for an E-Com platform to succeed? What makes a new startup so desirable to be acquired by Wix?
This month's Fashion Tech Meet Up will address the challenges and best practices of E-commerce from 3 different perspectives: a fashion entrepreneur (Yael Kochman, IL Couture), acquired m-commerce start up (Appixia), and major brand, (E-commerce manager, Castro).
Moderated by Assaf Gilad, Calcalist's HighTech reporter, come join an interactive evening where our panelists will share their experiences (successes and failures) and answer your questions.
The event is hosted and sponsored by lool ventures, and will take place on their beautiful roof .
Appixia is an m-commerce solution that was able in less than a year to acquire hundreds of business customers all over the world, until recently acquired by Wix.
IL Couture was an innovative fashion platform that worked with dozens of fashion designers, got press coverage all over the world, and yet was sadly closed after 2 years of operation.
Castro is Israel's leading retailer and the first to roll out their online store.
