Company mission
Create the next leading e-commerce powerhouse
Our take
The global e-commerce market is booming with some projections showing that it will top $7 trillion after 2025. Within this market, Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) commerce has experienced a revolution in recent years. The number of businesses that independently manufacture, promote, sell, and ship their own products is rising, and growing popularity of this strategy is rapidly changing the business landscape on the whole.
Stryze is a D2C specialised e-commerce company which focuses on creating, operating and scaling D2C brands on Amazon as well as on social commerce platforms such as Instagram. Fundamentally, its business model is based on three main pillars - building its product portfolio, expanding to other platforms and, finally, greater internationalisation. As the e-commerce market in general grows, so will Stryze's opportunities, and this is a big advantage for the company.
Though this model may seem straightforward, it is also being combined with highly disruptive data technology. Stryze uses data to identify, analyse, monitor and advance their existing brands as well as those recently acquired, and this has enabled the company to greatly boost brands' performance.
