In 2017
Three acquaintances ready for a career change, organized a meeting to discuss business. They wanted to start a company they would all want to work for. To find a time for the meeting within their busy schedules, they chose to meet at the railway station in Tikkurila (Finland), where they all had to change trains to get home. The trio had the same questions -Why eCommerce so costly and complex? Could it not be made easy and exciting with the right choices? And so Woolman was founded to superpower commerce everywhere.
In 1720
A real-life superhero named John Woolman used his unique qualities to improve the lives of others. A merchant, tailor, journalist, and an early abolitionist, Woolman’s strong convictions towards justice, and simplicity in business empowered others. It was these qualities, these superpowers, that elevated John Woolman to superhero status.
In 2017
