Nano-startup merch use case
Pre-seed and bootstrapped teams of 2-10 — first hire kits, demo-day swag and angel-investor thank-you boxes that punch above their weight.
Profile
Nano-startups in Poland run on founder cash and goodwill. Merch budget is one or two hundred to one or two thousand EUR a quarter; quantities are 10-100 units; the order ships to a co-working address in Warszawa or directly to a YC/EF/Plug-and-Play batch. The founder writes the brief at 11pm between investor calls, expects a price the next morning, and needs proof that looks like the brand will still exist in eighteen months.
Workflow and contractual concerns
Workflow: founder owns everything — design, budget, recipient list. No procurement. Payment is card or wire upfront. Delivery is direct to home or to the demo-day venue. Concerns: zero waste (every unit is funded), suppliers that don't require a 250-unit MOQ, file formats handled even when only a Figma export exists, invoice in PDF accepted by the angel doing the accounting on Notion.
