MarketOrders quoted in Real Business article on how to start a business

Our Co-Founder & COO, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted in Real Business article ‘How to start a business’.
She said: “Prior to starting up on my own, I worked in investment banking for over a decade. I was able to use the experience and skills gained from my previous role as a business analyst and project manager to research into the jewellery industry.
I found that within the jewellery industry less than 4% of all transactions were done online simply because there was no secure way to process such transactions. I knew I wanted to create a tech company that was able to seamlessly and securely digitise the supply chain process and help retailers and suppliers to access the gold and diamonds they needed.
MarketOrders is my third jewellery-focussed start-up, and the lessons I learned from my previous ventures have proven invaluable when launching MarketOrders.
I set up MarketOrders in less than 10 minutes for £13 on Companies House and used my savings to build a rudimentary website where I could test my idea – outsourcing the tech development to a company in India to help with cash flow.
After trailing my website for four months and generating over £60k in revenue, I realised I had a viable business model. This gave me the courage to seek growth funding. After several unsuccessful attempts of raising funds from venture capitalists, I decided to raise funds via crowdfunding platform crowdcube.com.
After a crowdfunding campaign, I exceeded my target goal of £400k as I welcomed 191 new customers”.

MarketOrders quoted in AMB Crypto about blockchain & art

Our Co-Founder & COO, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted in AMB Crypto article ‘Can blockchain be a good canvas for Art?’.
The journalist, Chayanika Deka, wrote:
While tokenizing art may sound appealing, according to Sukhi Jutla, Co-founder and COO at MarketOrders, it might actually “overvalue or inflate the price of the artwork” and buyers may find they are paying more for a smaller piece. She said,
“Then, there is the lack of homogeneity between different artworks, which makes it difficult to value and price a fraction of the artwork; this may lead to buyers questioning if it’s really worth the investment.”
The Co-founder went on to say that while most businesses offering tokenized art also promise that the buyer can still make money by trading the token which is backed by the asset [the artwork], such promised exchanges are yet to materialize.
