The Moteefe story:<\/h3>\n

Want to become a social commerce entrepreneur? Moteefe has built a platform that enables you to do just that, helping you to sell custom clothing and merchandise through social media.<\/p>\n

Launched in 2015 by founding trio Mathijs Eefting, Olivier Stapylton-Smith and Lev Kundin, who met while undertaking MBAs, the London based start-up works with influencers, brands, clubs and founders to turn any designs into ready-to-sell products.<\/p>\n

From payment to production to global shipping and running a dedicated website, Moteefe takes care of everything – all users need to do is market their products and enjoy the profits.<\/p>\n

How does it work? The company, which operates across three offices with a team of 37, allows anyone to upload their designs to the platform to create a range of products in less than one minute.<\/p>\n

Items are only printed and shipped once orders are received, meaning there’s no upfront costs for the user, and then Moteefe takes a small cut from each item before passing on maximum profits to the seller.<\/p>\n

Backed by over £2m investment –which includes a £1.75m Seedrs crowdfunding round – Eefting, Stapylton-Smith and Kundin say their business motivation comes from helping people “to supplement their dreams” and “quit their day job in favour of flexible working and unlimited rewards”.<\/p>\n

Having recently enjoyed 35% month-on-month sales growth, the start-up is projecting sales of £30m next year.<\/p>\n

Why Moteefe made our shortlist:<\/h3>\n

A start-up helping other start-ups to realise their ideas, Moteefe has supported hundreds of sellers across the world, with many making a living via the platform and generating sales of over £20,000 per month.<\/p>\n

A sustainable business – holding zero stock with zero printing facilities – it’s easy to see why the crowd gave their backing to this two-year-old retail business.<\/p>\n
