German eco-friendly shopping

Launch a German ecommerce site focusing on sustainable, locally-made products.

Why now

OTTO's success shows German demand, but lacks eco-focus.

Who for
German eco-conscious consumers
Business model
Commission on sales
Effort
A few months

German consumers increasingly prefer sustainable, locally-made goods but struggle to find them online. Create a marketplace exclusively for eco-friendly German products, from food to fashion. Sellers would pay listing fees and commissions. Start with a curated selection of key categories like apparel and home goods. Biggest risk: Competing with larger established players.
