“Oversized 3PLs produce too much waste and provide out-of-touch support” said Manifest’s CEO & Cofounder George Wojciechowski when describing why impact-driven ecommerce merchants need sustainable ecommerce fulfillment. George explained “Manifest offers a full spectrum of premium sustainable packaging, carbon footprint measurement, and in-the-warehouse client support. I’m so thrilled to be a part of the SXSW Pitch.”
“Since its beginning in 2009, SXSW Pitch has significantly helped shape the early-stage venture ecosystem and connected promising companies with the resources they need to thrive, giving promising companies the resources they need to succeed when it matters most,” said SXSW Pitch Event Producer Chris Valentine. “Of the 613 companies who have been selected since the competition’s inception, over 93 percent have gone on to secure funding and numerous have been acquired by the likes Google, British Telecom, Huffington Post, Apple, Live Nation, OpenTable, Meta, Michelin, Constant Contact, and Harmon. We’re excited to see this year’s impressive group of startups take to the stage and show us how their innovations will change the world.”
