Start-Up Veee.com will den Modehandel inspirieren

Jeanny Wang und Thomas Lorenz wollen mit ihrer Online-B2B-Plattform Veee.com das Modebusiness dazu inspirieren, neue Wege zu gehen. Das Onlineportal soll Modemarken die Möglichkeit bieten, ähnlich bildgetrieben wie bei der Bildplattform Instagram, sich rund um die Uhr potenziellen Handelspartnern vorzustellen. Interessierte Händler können direkt über die Plattform mit Marken aus der ganzen Welt Kontakt aufnehmen. FashionUnited wollte von den Unternehmern wissen: Macht das nun Modemessen obsolet?

Eine heikle Frage, insbesondere in Anbetracht der Tatsache, dass Thomas Lorenz zehn Jahre lang bei der Berliner Premium Group gearbeitet hat und dort unter anderem Einkäuferprogramme der Messe anführte. Keineswegs, findet er. Eher sei es als ein ergänzendes Angebot zu sehen, an dem auch Messen, wie die Premium Group selbst, interessiert seien. „Die Premium Group ist einer der Investoren der neuen Plattform“, sagt Lorenz. Andere Investoren möchte er nicht nennen.

Eine heikle Frage, insbesondere in Anbetracht der Tatsache, dass Thomas Lorenz zehn Jahre lang bei der Berliner Premium Group gearbeitet hat und dort unter anderem Einkäuferprogramme der Messe anführte. Keineswegs, findet er. Eher sei es als ein ergänzendes Angebot zu sehen, an dem auch Messen, wie die Premium Group selbst, interessiert seien. „Die Premium Group ist einer der Investoren der neuen Plattform“, sagt Lorenz. Andere Investoren möchte er nicht nennen.

„Wir sind ein Investor und strategischer Partner“, bestätigt Anita Tillmann, Premium-Gründerin und geschäftsführende Gesellschafterin gegenüber WWD. „Veee.com ist ein Baustein, um den digitalen Wandel der Branche weiter zu beschleunigen, der weit über unsere physische Messe hinausgeht.“ So kommt es auch, dass Veee.com bereits „mit den Ausstellern der Premium Group an den Start ging“, wie Lorenz sagt, und dann begann, „weitere Brands zu onboarden.“ Zu betonen, dass Veee dennoch unabhängig von der Premium Group ist und agiert, ist ihm ein Anliegen. „Wir sind ein eigenständiges Unternehmen“, sagt er.

Für die Umsetzung des Projekts hat sich Thomas Lorenz Unterstützung aus dem Tech-Sektor geholt. Jeanny Wang bringt 15 Jahre Erfahrung im Tech-Bereich mit und arbeitete zuvor unter anderem für Samsung SSIC im Silicon Valley. „Wir haben uns den Markt angeschaut und nach Lücken gesucht. Wir haben uns gefragt: Was sind die Needs der Industrie?“, erklärt sie.
