ECOMSPACES is a full-service e-commerce hub and business incubator that offers fulfillment services and support to small sellers. Founded in 2019 in the West End and based in Atlanta, the company has been self-funded for the past four years, which its CEO says limited growth. The team is part of the Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs and has received non-financial support from the center. With a $250,000 investment from the Black Ambition Demo Day, ECOMSPACES plans to develop its online platform to expand services to e-commerce sellers globally. The company says the prize and subsequent inbound interest from firms like Mastercard and Amazon will help accelerate partnership and revenue growth. CEO Maïré Bavarday-Rosa hopes to grow revenue to $5 million by the end of next year.
