The Zalando Mafia
Tech has reshaped retail, and few did it faster (or better) than Zalando.
Launched in 2008 by Robert Gentz and David Schneider as a small Berlin startup, it quickly grew into a multi-billion-euro marketplace that changed how Europe shops.
But the real legacy? A wave of ex-Zalando talent now building some of the continent’s most exciting startups.
The Zalando Mafia
The Zalando Mafia has founded 35 companies and raised $872M.
