Documented cause
Romanian fulfillment network Frisbo raised €4.5M from GapMinder Ventures and others to build a distributed warehouse network across CEE, positioning as the 'Flexport of Eastern Europe'. The platform connected 50 warehouses in 8 countries but the post-COVID ecommerce slowdown in 2022 cut GMV by 40%. Key anchor customer Fashion Days exited Frisbo's network in Q1 2023, removing 35% of volume. With no replacement secured, the company filed for insolvency in November 2023.
Lesson
“Logistics platforms must cap any single client's revenue share below 20% to survive customer churn.”
