Supporting with managing the hypergrowth of a fashion platform

Otrium is an innovative fashion platform with a clear mission: to ensure that all clothing produced is worn. To achieve this, Otrium uses a technology-led approach and, under the motto ‘wear over waste’, connects a growing global community with excess stock from leading brands.

 

The challenge

Otrium experienced rapid growth and expanded from the Netherlands to the UK, Germany, France, and the United States. As a result, informal structures became unsustainable as the company scaled. In addition, the hiring team could not keep up with the company’s growth ambitions.

“ After closing our Series B funding, we could not keep up with the pace of hiring. As a result, three Sweav interim managers stepped in and helped us professionalize quickly, while showing great ownership, low ego, and strong learning speed. ”

Our Collaboration

Various Sweavers (ex Sparkoptimus and Strategy&) supported a broad range of (short) projects and long-term interim roles. Including professionalization of the sales operation, a €100 million Series B funding round, preparation of the investor reporting meetings, and setting up the B2B business.
