Epilogue

April 8, 2023

One and a half years ago, we set out to create an open, green network of products. We believed that people whould love to support local community and local stores that support the environment.

Along the way, we created an ecommerce platform available on the web and iOS that proved these things to be true. We’re proud of the product we built, but even more so, we’re grateful for the community of partners that made it grow.

At every turn, your feedback shaped Lekitable's development, and your visions signaled a new chapter for ecommerce logistics. Together we wrote in the margins of anti-Amazon era. Thank you for helping to bring this reality into view.

Lekitable's story ends here. Many challenges in the world of ecommerce marketplace remain unsolved, and we failed to create a sustainable platform for trading products and connect with stores that take actions for the environemnt. For this, we’re deeply sorry. We considered every option before making the difficult decision to end the product that brought us together.

As of today, it is no longer possible to create a new account, and on June 19, 2023, the Lekitable app will no longer be available. For the next three months, our first priority is to help you transition to other services and get back to reading. All of your data are deleted and they cannot be retreived.

Our team will continue to pursue their studies in their favorable majors and we are sure that they will accomplish what they have dreamed of.

Thank you for the time and attention you’ve contributed to this community. It has been a privilege to work together, and we look forward to meeting again, in new ways, in the margins.

Sincerely,
Vasilis, Jules, Isaë - Lekitable Team

WHAT WAS LEKITABLE ?

Our story

Set up by Jules, Vasilis and Isaë, the goal of Lekitable was to bring together small, medium and large companies, all responsible in the materials of their products and their design. On an online sales platform in order to make access to a responsible trade easier, controlled and diversified. After the first 17 small business partners, we realized a first launch, more than 300 visitors the first day. After analysis of the visitors and many feedbacks, we had to move towards brands more established in e-commerce, younger and popular. 10 partners were to come, they already had their e-commerce store, but the connection to their stock and orders was impossible because of a lack of possible API connections from our site. We would have had to pay another developer out of budget. We thank you for your interest. On our side, we will continue to innovate and create projects for the planet.
