As European ecommerce luxury shopping community buyvip.com recevied investment of an undisclosed size from Bertelsmann Digital Media Investments, 3i and Molins Capital Inversión, same business model has been recently launched in Turkey. Last week on 4th of September in our etohum meetup, our guests were co-founders of the firm; Tolga H. Tatari and Ahmet E. Sarı. Markafoni.com has been launched few months ago as Akinon Project Development firm’s project. Additionally they have angel investors. As used in other exclusive shopping clubs, markafoni.com accepts customers only with reccomendation. They sell luxury brands with 50-70% discount. Although they made agreements with many luxury brands in Turkey, there are many difficulties convincing Turkish firms in these kinds of ecommerce models. Turkish internet market is new to shopping online apparel. Markafoni.com reached many internet geeks in last months. WOM effect of the project so far is successful. We will follow the project closely.

Supermarket aggregation model: marketimden.com

2 weeks before we have started Etohum meetings. Our first startup was marketimden.com which aggregates supermarkets on their site. Customers can shop from supermarkets which are near to their location. These enables the system to deliver under 1 hour. Their business model’s most important difference from other online markets is delivery. The founders of marketimden.com new graduates from university. There is a huge number of products, it is hard to manage pricing and inventory of all supermarkets. They have already made agreement with 5 super markets, but closed their site in order to solve technical problems. 4 founders had also found first round venture capital which may enable them to live 1 year or less.
