Steve Conine and Niraj Shah came up with the idea to start a business while they were in their last semester of college in an entrepreneurial class. Therefore, in May 2002 they started Wayfair as an e-commerce business in one of Steve’s extra room in his house, and the merchandise for sale was stereo racks and stands. Steve and Niraj began to do some research and realize the need to buy furniture in the home goods market online was untapped. Hence, they decided to tap into this market, and Wayfair became a major merchant for furniture and home goods online. They were operating using various websites to distribute the merchandise, but in 2011 they decided to collaborate all of their websites into one location which is Wayfair.com. Wayfair currently offers 7 million products from over 7,000 suppliers from five distinct brands. The five distinct brands are Wayfair.com, AllModern, Birch Lane, DwellStudio, and Joss & Main. Wayfair.com targeted audience are women aged 35-65 years old with an annual household income of $60,000 to $175,000. In 2013, Wayfair had grossed over $900 million in annual revenue, and investors could not understand why Steve and Niraji had not filed to become a public company.
