Q1 2024 was yet another quarter of strong results, as net sales grew by 33.3% to SEK 253.4m and EBITDA by 37.3% to SEK 119.7m compared to last year. The growth is driven by more property sellers choosing to maximise their marketing on Hemnet through investing in Hemnet Premium, as well as 11 % more property listings compared to last year. 2024 has started with a number of welcomed positive signals on the property market with not only more listings on Hemnet, but also more transactions, higher prices as well as increasing price expectations from consumers. We look forward to a spring with hopefully continued, perhaps growing, activity and to continuing helping Swedish property buyers and sellers to increase their chances of a successful home sale https://lnkd.in/dUgkJaCE

I'm so excited to share Purply's Black Week 2024 insights for Nordic premium fashion! One key insight from Purply’s Black Week 2024 analysis was that sales were more evenly distributed across the week, with strong performance not just on Black Friday and Cyber Monday but also on surrounding days. This shift indicates that consumers are spreading out their shopping, making more thoughtful decisions over multiple days, rather than rushing for single-day deals. As you've had time to analyze your brand and store performance, do you agree with our findings? With the Christmas and January sales periods approaching, imagine the advantage of having these insights daily. Join Purply to optimize your strategy and drive growth!!

Sharing some insightful thoughts from Jonas Tulldahl, Head of Corporate Development at Storskogen. Jonas highlights AI as one of the most promising business opportunities today and details some of the initiatives Storskogen is implementing - such as our AI platform that allow business units to test various AI use-cases with minimal investment required. Reflecting on this, it's evident that we are witnessing a rapid shift towards AI implementation. We are without a doubt in the starting phase of continued massive dispruption and it will be exciting to see what will happen to those who believe that their business is immune to AI disruption (which they likely aren't). The future belongs to the agile, those with a culture of trying, testing, and daring to innovate. ping Patrick Couch

I've always believed in the power of collaboration. And that's why recent news about non-European fast fashion giants seeking and finding partners to lobby their interests across Europe is concerning. This is a reminder that while competition is inevitable, we must stay united in our commitment to protect European fashion field. European fashion is more than just style—it's a vital industry that creates jobs, keeps tax revenue within the region, and supports local economies. Unlike fast fashion, European fashion prioritizes sustainability and environmental responsibility, ensuring that the production processes respect both people and the planet. #NordicFashion #SustainableFuture #Purply #CollaborateForSuccess

"Go big or go home!" There are other ways of building good, profitable businesses. Venture capital is not a one size fits all. Especially not in food. 🦄 🦓 🐪 Christian von Essen asked about my thoughts on Smallhold's Post Mortem for Impact Loop. (I told him to watch the "WeCrashed" series, it's hilarious and totally cringe for everyone who ever worked in VC/startups) 🤑 We need capital going towards sustainability, agrifood system change, regeneration, circularity, etc.. But what type of capital? What timing? Seems like crash is imminent if we apply the old models of building the new, in the same unsustainable way... How do we scale better, without burning out founders on the way? I'm interested to have this conversation. Who else? 🙋‍♀️
