Majeure entrepreneur

II/ Business venture:

Definition of product, market, target:

Originality of the venture:
• SuperStand.com is the only company that enables exhibiters from around the world to identify good service providers for their local stand
• Interests: foreign exhibiters can compare different quotes and select the best providers.

Growth prospects
Some key figures:
• The site was launched in August 2011
• Already ~ 3000 visits/month with no advertising
• Around twenty clients in one year
• And… SuperStand.com has reached break-even point since its launch in July 2011
• Forecast: 15 million EUR turnover in 5 years (80% margin)

III/ What would you like from the Edhec network?
• Any EDHEC people in charge of trade fairs abroad can easily post their invitations to tender, compare different quotes and get the best services for the best price
• Any business angel looking to make their money work (in a safe country) in order to speed up the company’s growth
• I’m looking for an intern (to work from home) or one part-time employee (20 hours/week) for a Client Service Manager job to do phone canvassing.
