- Enterprises pivoting -- brands going direct-to-consumer, malls pivoting to online business models (seriously), and other things like that.
- SMBs going online: see this thread[0] from a French fruit seller, for example, or this thread[1] from a bar in Milwaukee. The restaurant down the street from where I used to live is now running a rapidly-growing online wine club.
- Totally new startups are getting started in response to new needs.
We started https://do.delivery/ to offer an online ordering option to locked down businesses, using Stripe Connect. Now all I can think about is other ways to use Connect. Many established businesses have broader e-commerce needs but I’ve seen farmers offer vege boxes and meal packs to great local support. Many smaller businesses are wary of investing much to start.
Thanks. Just custom. We built the original core in 36 hours and the landing page looked a bit different then, intending to be simple and barebones. My mother in law asked when I was going to finish the design, so I redid it instead.
I imagine, with the huge spike in ecommerce, your platforms are crushing it, but curious to hear your take.
