How a drawing on a bar napkin led to a software platform that processes trillions of calculations
April 15, 2024
In 2007, while sitting at the pub Moran’s with a beer, I drew a sketch on a napkin that would change our business. I drew a software model that would allow an indie store to instantly show (and sell) thousands of products online—without any labor. (The secret sauce: The respective brand would do the product update work for the merchants.) The immediate goal was to help my two retailers more efficiently load products onto their websites (and save me the boredom of doing it).
Solid napkins are always a great option due to their versatility. Our Amalfi line is no different, made with a blend of linen and cotton, these stonewashed napkins are incredibly soft to the touch.
Now available in Grass, Lemon, Pumpkin, and Turquoise. Perfect for colorful summer entertaining!
