According to the data intelligence platform TheKredible, Eight Road Ventures is the largest stakeholder in the company followed by Think Investments. While controlling its losses might seem like a positive here, in its business , it might also point to the high fixed costs that are truly sticky. That would imply a need for a massive improvement in topline for MakeO, something that doesn’t look easy by any stretch in a fiercely competitive market. Especially for Skinnsi. We believe this is a firm that is definitely not out of the woods yet despite improving financials.
