Our take
Due to the massive growth of eCommerce, a higher demand for fast product shipping, and on the contrary, rising global supply chain challenges, Flexe has found itself growing at an extraordinary rate over the last few years.
The company, founded back in 2013, offers retailers and brands a marketplace which connects them to warehouses with excess capacity, essentially giving them access to on-demand warehousing without fixed, long term costs, while the warehouse owners are able to generate new short term revenue streams.
While investors commit huge amounts of funding into new startups offering supply chain and fulfillment, Flexe’s existing reputation has seen it gain unicorn status, putting in a very strong position for sustained growth in the future.
