appico's role: Technical strategy, ecommerce build and go-to-market

Nestroots is a premium home decor brand selling direct to consumers. appico led the technical infrastructure and the go-to-market playbook that made the brand investable, and then scalable.

The store had to do two jobs at once: carry a growing catalogue, and stay standing when national television sent a wave of traffic to it.
