#16 Before we establish business model,
we spent 70 million for Europe launch,
tens of million for marketing and
15 million for non-used warehouse investment
Fab sources estimate that moving into Europe prematurely cost the company $60-$100 million. There were too many employees and not enough sales generated. Streamlining the businesses was difficult; there was no US playbook to hand over to Europe. Additionally, Fab spent $12 million signing a 10-year lease on a warehouse there that eventually closed.
"We were across 32 categories, shipping jewelry to furniture," a former Fab employee recalled. "We sold first, then we took inventory, then we sold and developed our own products. We had all kinds of challenges across all of that, and we had to do it quickly."
"Jason had this hunger to get bigger and do more and take on Amazon, even though our customer base loved Fab because it was curating interesting design products ... He was just like, 'I want more stuff' for the sole reason that he wanted to be more like Amazon."

When I first came up with the idea, I didn’t own a tablet, nor was I actively playing racing games on any platform. Guess what the very first thing I did with the money was? I actually bought an iPad and installed a few tilt games. I was never solving a problem I had myself, which naturally involved a huge chance of building the wrong product.
