Documented cause
GloPart operated as a digital affiliate marketplace for Russian infopreneurs — selling online courses, software licenses, and digital subscriptions. The platform reached $50M+ GMV before the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine triggered comprehensive Western sanctions. PayPal, Stripe, and Visa/Mastercard all withdrew from Russia within weeks, eliminating GloPart's payment processing infrastructure overnight. International software providers revoked licenses for tools GloPart's sellers used. The company could not rebuild the payment stack on Russian alternatives quickly enough to retain merchants.
Lesson
“Russian digital commerce businesses had no viable path post-February 2022 — this was an unhedgeable systemic risk.”
