Deep dives
Rise and Fall of Zulily
Zulily, a unique e-commerce company founded in 2010, focused on offering limited-time flash sales catering to women, especially new moms. Despite competition from retail giants like Amazon and Nordstrom, Zulily experienced rapid growth, expanding from 157,000 customers in 2010 to 1.5 million within a few years. The company's success led to a billion-dollar valuation and its eventual public listing in 2013. However, issues with scaling and competition, especially in fast shipping against Amazon's model, led to a decline in stock price, ultimately resulting in its acquisition by QVC in 2015.
