Moteefe is a technology company providing an end-to-end print-on-demand (POD) e-commerce platform that enables entrepreneurs, influencers, micro-retailers, and larger brands to design, sell, and fulfill customized merchandise like t-shirts, phone cases, and jewelry worldwide without upfront costs, inventory, or supply chain complexity.[1][2][3] It serves over 5,000 merchants by offering white-label stores, global production routing via proprietary software, payments, customer service, and fulfillment through 20+ partners across Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, and Brazil, with products shipped to 166 countries.[2][6] The platform solves the barriers to launching scalable global e-commerce by automating on-demand production and delivery in 1-2 days, driving 150% growth in early 2020 amid COVID-19 retail shifts and reaching $17.9 million in annual revenue by 2025 with 75-84 employees.[2][4][5]
Founded in the Netherlands in 2015 (launched early 2016) by Mathijs Eefting (CEO), Lev Kundin, and Olivier Stapylton-Smith, Moteefe emerged to simplify global e-commerce for creators lacking production and logistics expertise.[1][2][3] The idea stemmed from the complexity of scaling merchandise sales—requiring e-commerce sites, payments, manufacturing, and fulfillment—leading the team to build a proprietary interface that centralizes orders and routes them intelligently based on location, inventory, and costs.[1] Early traction was explosive: UK's fastest-growing e-commerce company with over 9,000% revenue growth from 2015-2018, onboarding 2,500+ micro-retailers initially, followed by €4.5-5 million Series A in early 2020 for Australia/Latin America expansion and $11 million Series B later that year from BGF, Gresham House Ventures, and Force Over Mass Capital, totaling ~$18.3 million in funding.[2][3][6]
Moteefe rides the POD and social commerce wave, capitalizing on e-commerce's shift to on-demand models amid rising creator economies, influencer marketing, and post-COVID online retail acceleration—evident in its 150% growth as legacy supply chains faltered.[2][6] Timing aligns with global digital transformation, where micro-brands leverage social media for direct sales without infrastructure, fueled by market forces like low-barrier tools for personalization and sustainability (reduced waste via no-inventory).[1][4] It influences the ecosystem by democratizing global fulfillment for 5,000+ merchants, enabling niche players to compete with giants and accelerating POD adoption in emerging markets like Australia, South America, and beyond.[2][3]
Moteefe's trajectory points to enterprise expansion and deeper POD integration with social/AI-driven commerce, potentially surpassing $20 million revenue as creator tools evolve and global e-commerce hits $7 trillion by 2025. Trends like AI personalization and Web3 marketplaces will amplify its no-risk model, evolving its influence from micro-retail enabler to backbone for branded merch at scale—positioning it as a quiet powerhouse in on-demand e-commerce.[4][6] This builds on its core strength: turning anyone into a global seller in minutes, a hook for the next retail disruption.
