Fashion4Home, der mit zwei Söhnen prominenter Manager besetzte MyFab-Klon von Samwers Rocket Internet, folgt seinem Vorbild weiter auf dem Fuße.
Nur wenige Tage nach dem US-Start von MyFab kündigt auch Fashion4Home seinen US-Start an:
"Cofounder Just Beyer believes Fashion4Home’s emphasis on social
networking integration, specifically feedback and comments, sets it
apart from competitors in the space, such as Myfab and traditional
retailers with an online presence, such as Design Within Reach and All Modern."
"The comments are collected manually at this stage, but designers are
excited about having nearly instant feedback, allowing them to create
new iterations of their designs."
Venture Beat schreibt über MyFab:
"Myfab plans to open in additional, unspecified markets this year,
with an eye on the global marketplace and to become the “Zappos of the
furniture market,” said Parsons.
The compay raised 5M euros in a second round of funding in June of 2009 from Alven Capital and BV Capital in addition to 2M euros in a first round from Alven Capital."
Aus deutscher (Handels-)Sicht nicht ganz unspannend, wenn ausgerechnet der Sohn des Metro-Chefs gegen eine der ambitionierteren Beteiligungen der Otto Gruppe antritt.
