ShopFully’s Post

In a marketplace where innovation is key, OffLimits stands out with its visionary collaborations, embodying the transformative spirit we at Flagstaff Ventures strive to support. This year, they're turning breakfast into a cultural statement with Call of Duty, launching a series of custom cereal boxes that merge morning routines with gaming. Their partnership with Shopify is equally impressive, seamlessly integrating the tactile world of cereal with the boundless possibilities of e-commerce. And when they joined forces with Wilco and Foxtrot, they didn't just create a product, they sparked a sensation, with boxes flying off the shelves and capturing the imagination of diverse audiences. At Flagstaff Ventures, we're proud to invest in companies like OffLimits, who are not just changing the way we eat, but the way we think about consumer engagement and market innovation. #FlagstaffVentures #OffLimits #Innovation #StrategicCollaboration #ConsumerTech

🍄 Reflecting on a Decade in the Mushroom Space 🍄 As I stand at the threshold of a new chapter, I find myself looking back at the incredible decade-long journey that has led me here. From the humble beginnings in a small 150 sq ft office to building a state-of-the-art mushroom production facility, it's been an adventure filled with both challenges and triumphs. This journey has been anything but solitary. Along the way, I've had the privilege of meeting some truly amazing people. Their insights, support, and camaraderie have been invaluable. One of the most exciting milestones for me was launching 'Shroom Junkie', a venture that gave me my first real taste of e-commerce from ideation to reality I got to put it all into practice. This experience wasn't just about business growth; it was about personal growth and truly understanding the intricacies of the digital marketplace. Now, it's time for me to take the next big leap. I am thrilled to announce the creation of my very own e-commerce brand accelerator. This venture is designed to guide companies through every stage of their ecom journey - from ideation to exit and everything in between. I'm excited to partner with some incredible minds in this endeavor, partnering with the top experts in the industry. Together, we aim to not just accelerate businesses, but to revolutionize the way e-commerce brands grow and succeed. Here's to new beginnings, endless possibilities, and the exciting road ahead. I can't wait to see where this next phase takes me and the many others who will join me on this journey. 🚀 To everyone at MycoTechnology, Inc. it’s been a fun ride and thanks for the memories.

After four incredible months at GoRocky, I am leaving with a wealth of knowledge and experience. 🧡 I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to our CEO, Kiyanusch, for teaching me so much about building a venture and navigating the startup space. I am also incredibly thankful to our Category Lead, Joey, for mentoring me throughout my journey, especially in areas that were initially unfamiliar to me in category development. I feel truly fortunate to have worked closely with such passionate visionaries. Here are some key takeaways from my time at GoRocky: 📝 Making mistakes are essential. A startup’s foundation is solidified by the errors and failures it encounters. 📝 Be obsessed with your customer. Whether in operations, customer experience, customer service, marketing, or category development, it is not enough to merely know the customer; one must also empathize to fully understand and meet their needs. 📝 Culture and relationships are important. As we learn in business school, employees are your most valuable asset. GoRocky's culture and work flexibility made me motivated, efficient, and happy. 📝 A startup requires openness, adaptability, and flexibility. As a venture development intern, I had the opportunity to research and validate concepts, build an MVP, test different typeforms in new markets, create and test several Shopify landing pages, and launch key products on our e-commerce platforms. Rock hard, always! #GoRocky #VentureDevelopment #Pulse63

#4 2024.04.08 About life's choices and results Sometimes I wonder, if I had taken the paths I once hoped but sadly couldn't take, would the outcomes be better than where I am now? I can't say for sure. It even seems that my current situation might be a bit better. Looking back at the most recent past, I would have joined Carrot, or before that, stayed at a financially challenging but enjoyable startup, even earlier, I might have met an Engineer co-founder and started a business, further past, I would have been hired as a Product Manager for Naver Maps. Thinking about the above paths from my current standpoint, they don't particularly appeal to me. So, What does this suggest? It suggests that my thoughts can easily change even after just a few months, and I might be rationalizing. Additionally, a future that is uncertain and not coming doesn't seem appealing because I can't vividly imagine the future. Not just me, but many others likely feel the same way. So, Could this be why we often meet people who say they don't regret their past choices?

3 years ago I took the plunge into a local startup called Waterhaul… 🌊 The underdog of the eyewear world and the new kid on the block in the litter picking world (yes, that’s a thing), Waterhaul is where I saw my future, and I am loving the journey so far! Don’t get me wrong, there have been many days where I just wanted to click my fingers in the hope that the challenges we were facing just disappeared… …but that’s not how life works, especially at a start-up… …especially at a start-up where we have set our standards so high in terms of its supply chain, product development and authenticity… But we came together and got through them, and continue to do so when tough moments arise! Challenges aside, what an amazing 3 years it’s been! 🥳 The people I’ve met along the way, partnerships formed, products developed, events planned, collaborations built, and strategies formulated, have been an absolute blast 💥 Thanks to everyone who have supported me and our mission so far 🙏 All of those things have been great… but they can’t come close to the same level of joy I have when it comes to the team I have worked with on this journey… current and past members of course! ❤️ On more days than I expect they’ll realise, it’s the people within the team that have been the driving force that has got me out of bed and into the office on difficult days. They have taught me so much about myself and in return, I hope I’ve taught them a thing or two… or at least offered up a few laughs here or there 😆 We continue to push forward together, and like a lot businesses, things are challenging sometimes, but I know that with our combined efforts, we’re going to be doing some even more amazing things in the future 🌟 Here’s to the next 3 years… who knows where we’ll be then?! 👀 #teamwork #workanniversary #teamappreciation

Founders' Note: Celebrating a Year of Growth & Innovation at Floryo As we stand on the threshold of a new year, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude. 2023, our first full year of operation, was a journey marked by challenges, learning & incredible growth. Even with big players ruling the market for decades, as a young and dynamic team, we made our own mark in the world of fresh staples. And guess what? The big guys did take notice & also emulated our steps. (didn’t they say imitation is the best form of flattery 😊) This year has shown us that no challenge is too big when we work together. We've seen our customer base grow, not just in numbers, but in trust and love for what we do. Each positive review, each repeat order, is a testament to our hard work and the quality of our products.   As we step into the New Year, we vow to carry this spirit forward. We will continue to innovate, to care and to reach for even greater heights. The journey ahead is exciting and with a dedicated team, the possibilities are limitless   A huge thank you to everyone who’s been part of Floryo's story, in every way. Your role, big or small, has been crucial. Let’s step into a year of even more growth and success – here's to celebrating all that we've done and will do together! #2024 #startup #startupjourney #enterpreneurship #startupindia #Floryo #growth #innovation #d2cbrands Manohar Kumar Deepak Choudhary Vatsal Mittal #AbhishekGhosh Ayush Kant Santh Prithvi Raj Chinni Poorna Akhil Naveen Veera Akash Dhama Omkar Lohar Manjunath V Satyam Kumar Gagan SV

Over the last nine years, Mobile reCell has been working tirelessly to reshape an industry that is ripe for change. Along the way, we’ve experienced tremendous growth, our fair share of triumphs and hardships, but most importantly, we’ve delivered truly impactful solutions for our customers and partners. Today marks the next chapter in Mobile reCell’s journey. I am thrilled to announce that Mobile reCell has been acquired by Apkudo, the leader in supply chain automation for connected devices! Simply put, combining forces allows us to execute a common vision centered around transforming connected device supply chains, both for businesses and consumers.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to all our customers and partners. We’ve been fortunate enough to work with some of the largest and most admired brands in the world. You gave this scrappy little startup a chance to solve your most complex IT asset recovery challenges. To the people I’ve met and the friendships we’ve created—you all have played a pivotal role in where we’re at today. For this, I’m forever grateful. To the remarkable Mobile reCell team—where do I even start?! We wouldn’t be where we are today without all the perseverance and grit it took to execute our collective vision. Building a startup is extremely difficult and isn’t for the faint of heart, that’s for sure. You all stuck with it when things were tough… and guess what? We built a great company that you all should be very proud of. We also built something that can’t be found on a P&L or in a business plan—we fostered a culture where people felt welcomed, ideas could flourish, and personal/professional growth could happen. I’m thrilled to be embarking on this next chapter with you all. We can't wait to roll up our sleeves and get to work with the Apkudo team. There's so much to accomplish over the coming years, and we’ve set ambitious goals I’m confident we’ll be able to achieve as a combined force. Here. We. Go. 🚀
