Late last week I got a sneak peak at EastDez, a newly funded eCommerce platform, if you’re in the space you should add them to your radar. Very strong team, top tier Sand Hill investors. We’ll be writing about it fully soon, but there’s nothing publicly available about them yet. It seems funny that only a few years ago Zappos investors were scrambling to get Amazon to buy the ecommerce giant. Now these companies, which thrive with real revenues have been popping up in every incubator and startup house around the world. From things like The Honest Company, to Dollas Shave Club, and many others, ecommerce is hot once again.
