The top marketplaces that we hear often are Amazon, eBay, and Walmart. Those are the top three in the U.S. eBay and Amazon alone account for 49% of all U.S. online retail, which is really crazy to think about considering how many U.S. retailers there are out there.

Other part of the story are much smaller online markets but that serve some specific niche. That is our story of today..

We talked on this subject with Vukan Simic, Founder and CEO of Fishingbooker.

Vukan is passionate about startups, online marketing, software development, fishing and diving. Because of that it is so much clearer how Fishingbooker was created in the first place.

The theory of disruption was spelled out in the 1997 book, The Innovator’s Dilemma by Clay Christensen, a professor at Harvard Business School. From that point, whenever people are planning a new product, digital or any other, they are concentrated almost always on disruption that should bring, but with that, usually essential stuff can be overlooked.

On this topic we talked with Milos Zikic - CEO of Spice factory.
