From Promise to Demise: The Rise and Fall of Vendazzo.com in E-commerce Search
The Story of Vendazzo.com: A Journey in E-commerce Search
Building an e-commerce search engine may sound like a brilliant idea, but as the creators of Vendazzo.com discovered, execution is key. Their journey, although filled with promise and potential, ultimately led to the demise of their venture.
Vendazzo.com was an e-commerce search engine that focused on products listed on Shopify shops. With over 100 million products listed and access to more than a million shops, it seemed like a robust platform. The founders managed to keep their costs relatively low, spending approximately $550 per month, while maintaining search times under 300ms.
