Ukrainian brand sells wooden maps in 90 countries, raises $817,000 on Kickstarter

When Ukrainian entrepreneur Igor Fostenko created his first wooden map to put on an empty wall in his office, he didn’t expect to turn the decorative piece into a business bringing him $12 million in sales annually. Called Enjoy the Wood, Fostenko’s company sells the maps to over 90 countries on the world’s biggest marketplaces – Etsy, Amazon and Ebay.

Enjoy the Wood has been featured in the media many times since its launch in 2014, but the company recently created buzz again in June after raising $817,000 from 3,474 backers on the U.S.-based crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.
