In just the past 5 years, e-commerce across the globe has nearly doubled. A lot of that growth happened as a result of the pandemic. Previously, U.S. e-commerce sales weren’t projected to cross over the $1T mark until 2024, but with the help of the pandemic, this number should be reached before the end of this year.

Many believe it’s a new era of e-commerce dominance. Approximately 60% of consumers prefer online shopping to a brick and mortar experience.

E-commerce can also open up new opportunities to reach customers through new and cutting edge marketing techniques. Klaviyo is a customer data and marketing automation platform. They make storing and analyzing customer data simple and use this data to target customers with high impact marketing. Companies that use Klaviyo have reported getting more email sign-ups from consumers, as well as consumers that are more likely to make another purchase from the company within 90 days.

Another huge player in the ecommerce realm happens to be streaming services. Anime is a medium where fans used to have to rely on expensive imports or dodgy bootlegs, but with streaming services like Crunchyroll entering the market, it is far easier for fans to access the shows they want to see. They stand to grow even larger in the coming years; in 2021 Crunchyroll was purchased by Sony’s Funimation for $1.175B.

If you want to work in the industry that is changing how we purchase items and services, take a look at our list of 5 companies in ecommerce hiring now.

Security in the Skies: 5 High Altitude Balloon and Satellite Startups Hiring Now

Nearly nine decades after the Hindenburg disaster, some speculate we’re entering the Second Age of the Balloon. “As all these objects fall, a new space race is rising,” Vox (https://www.vox.com/world/2023/2/7/23588464/suspect-spy-china-balloon-sputnik-moment-space-race) proclaimed. Tens of thousands of balloons float into near-space every year, and the numbers rise every year. The National Weather Service alone launches around 60k high-flying balloons each year. The Pentagon spent nearly $4B over the past two years on its own high altitude balloons, according to Politico (https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/05/u-s-militarys-newest-weapon-against-china-and-russia-hot-air-00043860). Why the interest in such old-school tech? “They’re cheap, easy to transport, can be fielded in large numbers and are payload agnostic,” industry expert George Howell wrote. Tucson, Arizona-based World View (https://spacenews.com/world-view-emphasizes-remote-sensing-as-it-prepares-to-go-public/), a stratospheric ballooning company, last month announced plans to go public via SPAC merger. The company develops a “stratollite” that provides high-res imagery for extended periods. (The company also offer space tourism.) Colorado-based Urban Sky (/company/urban-sky) is creating what it claims as the first ever reusable stratospheric balloon. Called “micro-balloons,” they’re the size of a VW bus and can hover in near space to collect data over urban areas. Company founder Jared Leidich (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/04_fm2017-alan-eustaces-jump-1-180961678/) has some chops in this arena, having designed the space suit used in the world record space dive in 2014 via a balloon at nearly 136k feet. Near Space Labs (/company/nearspacelabs) invites people to “step inside a new way of thinking about all things geospatial imaging (https://nearspacelabs.com/blog/).” The company's high-altitude balloons that carry a small, autonomous robot called Swifty to capture the world around them at 60k to 85k feet in the air. The company says it’s done zero carbon emissions and recently launched (https://www.zdnet.com/article/near-space-labs-provide-free-high-resolution-imagery-to-universities-nonprofits/) a program to make its high-resolution Earth imagery available to universities and nonprofits for free. Sounds fascinating, right? Luckily, with a new wave of space technology, comes a brand new, cutting-edge wave of jobs. Check out 5 top startups aiming skywards and hiring now.
