In that short time, the Manhattan-based daily deal site for design enthusiast has surged to 10 million users.

"The market for good design is a $100 billion industry that cuts across multiple product categories," Goldberg explained to Betashop last year.

"Our team has a collective passion for design. There is no web-native e-commerce brand today for design products, particularly at discount pricing, so we could fill that void."

Last summer, the company raised $116 million in a Series C round placing it at a $600 million valuation. Fab's success isn't a coincidence, two-thirds of its sales came from repeat customers, and total sales grew 600 percent from 2011 to 2012.
