☆ The CEO of $800 million startup SuperOrdinary explains why he's betting on live shopping and creators as it raises new funding to expand
  + stars: | 2023-10-13 | by ( Sydney Bradley | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
SuperOrdinary wants to be the next unicorn out of the creator economy — and it's betting on live shopping and influencers to get there. Why SuperOrdinary is bullish on live shoppingWhile live shopping has had a lukewarm appeal in the US, SuperOrdinary sees itself as a potential breakthrough. "SuperOrdinary has been live shopping or livestreaming since the beginning of the company," Reis said. The key to cracking live shopping isn't just discounts, Reis added, but fine-tuning the experience for the American consumer. "We really think that the consumer here is slowly moving across to more entertainment-style shopping," Reis said.

When SuperOrdinary bought Fanfix, Insider's Geoff Weiss reported that there were plans for product collaborations with the platform's creators. And they took advantage of the creators, and so a massive gap opened up for platforms like Patreon, platforms like us."
