KupiVIP
The business, the turning points, and the decisions behind them.
01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
KupiVIP sold discounted goods through websites, mobile applications and physical retail locations in Russia.
02 / KupiVIP FAILURE REASONS
Failure reasons
Competition weakened sales while its omnichannel operation required substantial capital. A proposed Yandex acquisition was cancelled, and other investors were unwilling or unable to supply the needed support. Its parent then chose to end operations.
03 / EVENT HISTORY
Events in the structured record
- Sales declined
Reporting recorded a year-on-year revenue decline amid competition.
- Proposed acquisition cancelled
