Industry Collaboration and Support: Danfoss’ lab helps OEMs without in-house testing by evaluating their equipment and assessing how Danfoss components can enhance energy efficiency.

🎙️ Luca Conner on CityClips Live Ep. 106.
Julia had the pleasure of featuring Luca Conner, the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Pack'N. | CityClips Live Ep. 106
Pack’N is a fulfillment and logistics partner helping e-commerce brands scale with ease. By managing order fulfillment, inventory, shipping, and operations, Pack’N handles the behind-the-scenes work so businesses can focus on growing their brand—making fulfillment simple and efficient.
Here are the takeaways of his interview with Julia:
Luca and his co-founder Jacob began their entrepreneurial journey in high school through Amazon FBA. The experience built foundational skills in e-commerce, operations, and problem-solving.
Pack’N positions itself as a partner, not just a service provider. They pride themselves on working strategically rather than transactionally, where communication and alignment are key.
As a bootstrapped business, Luca shared that success takes grit and confidence in your product. When you genuinely believe in what you’re building, it becomes easier to show up every day and keep going until you reach your goal.
