Zaelab was founded in 2010 by Chief Executive Officer, Evan Klein. Klein comes by the e-commerce space honestly: he created his first e-commerce store at age twelve as eCommerce was invented, which quickly became the world’s largest online DVD wholesale storefront. From there, he led the digital transformation for a small B2B publishing company, converting inefficient manual processes into a highly automated and streamlined digital subscription business model and digital commerce platform. It was these experiences that shone a light on the underserved B2B market.
