Rush Market was founded by a team that understands ecommerce from their previous company, Hayneedle.
In his time at Hayneedle, Doug Nielson experienced first hand how the process of customer returns can severely cut into profits. Furthermore, he began to recognize how this problem continues to grow in importance as the sector expands and end users have high expectations on product specifications and delivery. Doug founded Rush Market to solve what he views as one of the hardest problems in online retail: streamlining product returns.
Invest Nebraska first partnered with the company in the fall of 2018. The team has just begun their first retail outlet and was building out the software components of the returns system.​
​
Through their proprietary systems, Rush Market partners with online sellers to develop a solution to allow a returned product to stay in the local area and be re-sold.
Today, Rush Market continues to expand their physical footprint across the country and offers a strong solution to online retailers seeking to streamline their return processes.
