When Nikhil and I started yayloh at the end of 2019, we had big plans. Nothing really happened as we envisioned it. March 2020: COVID hit just a few months after Nikhil wrote our first line of code. Unfortunately, the product wasn’t ready to surf on the wave of the ecom boom. It became really hard to find brands willing to test our product when they were struggling with supply chain. But, we had two great pilots customers. We kept at it. Things started to get better in Q4 2020 and we raised our first round in Feb 2021. In 2022, more and more new competitors came and started to throw some fintech ideas in the game -Instant refunds, C2C returns, Try Before You Buy, and what more. VCs got excited and funding flooded into some of our competitors. They offered the product for free to our clients, made some investors calls. We took some hits, but we remained committed to building the best product and to play by the books. Finally, everyone realized merchants didn’t care about these crazy fintech ideas and competitors all came down to building return management softwares. In 2023, came inflation and rising interest rates. Demand for our product decreased as many retailers were affected with lower sales and tightened new investments in their tech-stack. We’ve stayed focused and resilient. We stayed lean. We never chased the hype nor took shortcuts. We kept winning clients, almost silently sometimes as it became a routine. And today, we’re in a really good place, with a profitable company. ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ We’re operating in 7 markets and proudly working with amazing brands like Ninepine, Luca Faloni, and Easyclothes. With new features like return checkout and AI-powered data analytic tools on the horizon, we’ll keep helping fashion brands reduce refunds, boost exchanges, and create seamless customer experiences even further. I’m truly excited for what’s next in 2025. A huge thanks to our team, clients, investors, my co-founder Nikhil for the ride it’s been, and to Izabella Borowska at Ehandel.se for featuring our story.

Go for Shopify !! If it was not for KPH , I may have never have discovered eCom / DTC business. That’s how communities operate : we help each other achieve more every single time. Yesterday was the largest ever Calicut meetup and to see how it grew over the years is mind boggling. If consevatively in figures, from a few single digital million valuations to more than 3 digit million USD valuations in the picture. What a ride !! Most of them profitable too 😎 Talk about compounding boys 🔥 Comment one instance on how kph helped you below.

TLDR: Congrats to PDQ on raising $25m!!! I first met Avi Moskowitz and PrettyDamnQuick just over four years ago (thanks for the intro, David Stark). Of all the companies I advise, Avi and Liran Erez stick out as as textbook examples of founders that just get it done. And because of that, I've gotten so, so much more than I've given. This isn't hyperbole. A poorly disciplined woodsman could count on the fingers of one hand the number of companies that combine what Liran and Avi do, specifically: 1. The grit to see it through 2. The deep, deep (deep) walk-a-mile-in-their-shoes understanding they have of their customers (ecommerce sellers) 3. Excitement and passion that persists day in and day out 4. The understanding that customers need to get the full package - the support, the product, the brand, and the TLC 5. The openness to learn...combined with healthy conviction to stick with what they believe 6. The ability to gift advisors amazing beer 7. A founding team that lives and breathes brand PeakSpan Capital and Jack Freeman found a needle in a haystack. And that needle will deliver PrettyDamnQuickly. Congrats, Avi, Liran, Haim Moskowitz, Yonatan Mandelbaum and team. More on TechCrunch : https://lnkd.in/ebZy2WF2
