As the year draws to a close, we can't help but look back on 2024 with immense pride and gratitude. It's been a transformative journey for DIG This Deal, filled with milestones that have not only shaped our company but have also fueled our passion for the road ahead. From an idea to reality, we've taken bold steps this year to grow, innovate, and lay the foundation for something truly special. Here's a closer look at the highlights that defined 2024 for us:
Securing Investment from AndRising
A major highlight of our year was welcoming AndRising as a key investor. Known for their work with trailblazing brands like Sweaty Betty and Duo Lingo, their belief in our vision has been both inspiring and humbling.
This partnership isn't just about funding—it's about joining a family of innovative brands driven by purpose and creativity. With their backing, we've gained more than just resources; we've gained invaluable expertise and a network to help us scale and thrive.
Going from MVP to a Live Product
Every successful venture starts with a spark, and ours began with our MVP—a basic, working prototype of our vision. In 2024, we turned that spark into a flame, launching a fully-fledged product into the market.
This transition was a monumental moment for us. It wasn’t just about rolling out features; it was about listening to our early adopters, refining our approach, and creating something we could proudly share with the world.
Seeing Our First Sales Roll Through
If there's a moment that truly cements an idea as a business, it's seeing your first sales come through. For DIG This Deal, that moment happened this year.
The first transaction wasn't just a number on a screen—it was validation. It was proof that our product resonates, that our vision connects, and that there's a real demand for what we're building.
Partnering Directly with eBay
One of the biggest game-changers for us this year was securing a direct agreement with eBay, a global leader in e-commerce. This partnership has opened doors we once only dreamed of.
It's not just a partnership—it's a vote of confidence from a giant in the industry, and we're excited about what this collaboration will mean for our growth in the years to come.
A Moment to Reflect and Look Ahead
While the milestones themselves are exciting, what makes them truly special is the journey that got us here. The long hours, the challenges we faced, the moments of doubt, and the unwavering belief that what we're building matters.
To our team: thank you for your relentless drive and creativity. To our investors and partners: thank you for believing in us. And to our early adopters and customers: thank you for trusting us and being part of this story from the start.
