ENTREPRENEURSHIP : Philippe JORDAN (1995), Superstand

I/ Identity
Philippe Jordan, Class of 1995
Edhec programme and Class Year: Entrepreneur major

II/ Business venture project:
We help foreign exhibitors at trade fairs to find local service providers for their stand and vice versa (we help local service providers to find new exhibitor clients).

Size of team:
1 Edhec, 15 freelancers from around the world (USA, Eastern Europe, Western Europe and Asia)

Capital raised or to be raised:
German SARL Jordan Trading GmbH with a capital of 25K EUR (registered near Düsseldorf)

Originality:
SuperStand.com is the only business that allows exhibitors from around the world to identify good service providers for local stands

Interest:
Foreign exhibitors can compare different quotes and select the best service provider.
Growth prospects:

A few figures:
The site was launched in August 2011
Already ~ 3000 visits / month with no advertising
Around 20 clients in one year
And… SuperStand.com has reached break-even point since its launch in July 2011
Forecast: 15 million euro turnover in 5 years (80% margins)

III/ What do you hope for from the Edhec network?
EDHEC people in charge of fairs abroad can easily post their invitations to tender, compare different quotes and get the best service for the best price
Business angels looking to increase their capital (in a safe country) in order to step up the company's growth
I’m looking for either an intern (working from home) or a part-time employee (20 hours/week) as a Customer Service Manager to do phone prospecting
