Challenges of Building a €1 Billion Shopify Store
2026 is kicking off with a big topic in the e-commerce world. Let’s dive into what it really takes to build and scale a €1 billion Shopify brand.
For this edition of Sofia Ecom Meetup, we’re hosting a special live conversation with Vladislav Kostov (Head of Digital Sales @ Shelly Group) and Preslav Nikov (CEO @ Craftberry).
Together, they’ll share behind-the-scenes insights on the real challenges of scaling an e-commerce business to massive revenue levels: from operations and growth strategy to marketing, tech, and team structure.
🔥 Expect honest lessons, practical insights, and stories you won’t usually hear on podcasts or LinkedIn.
You’ll also have the chance to ask your own questions live and connect with other builders in the local e-commerce ecosystem.
Whether you're an aspiring app developer, a seasoned e-commerce entrepreneur, a digital agency, or just curious about the ecom world, this event promises to be an eye-opening experience that can supercharge your journey in the e-commerce realm. Come grab a drink & share your stories! ✌️
