Your Friday Entrepreneur Fix features Dean Ramler, the young go-getter who’s selling furniture to consumers in Australia and the UK via his wildly successful online venture Milan Direct.

Milan Direct’s online-only business model has made designer furniture accessible to a generation of Australians born long after Eames made his famous chair. Founder Dean Ramler explains why his business is growing uncontrollably.

It started with eBay and a handful of maxed out credit cards but 27 year-old Ruslan Kogan is now a multimillionaire with a growing e-commerce empire. He talked Google, recruiting and being a bad boss with editor Jen Bishop.

Ruslan Kogan has the distinction of being the only entrepreneur with two companies in BRW’s 2010 Fast Starters list, with Kogan Technologies and Milan Direct making the cut.
