Matt Howitt and Nirav Bhagat
We began our journey the same way as many of our entrepreneurs -- we jumped straight into deep end of marketplace e-commerce.

Our employees care about the details: whether pick / pack / shipping, answering customer emails, running growth tactics or pulling together great product photography.

We got our start like many of the marketplace brands we now purchase and scale; we saw the incredible ways marketplaces and e-commerce were democratizing consumer access to smaller brands, and dove head-first into the mix to obtain our "Amazon degree".

We purchased our first small brand in 2018. While others raised (and spent) billions acquiring ASINs, we toiled away at building our brand 'playbook': Growing on Amazon using paid advertising, bootstrapping DTC from Amazon, brand marketing and audience development, streamlining freight forwarding and inventory planning, and much more.

Fast forward four years -- with more than 60 employees, spanning 4 continents, our growing team of experts share the same excitement and curiosity about scaling e-commerce brands as the entrepreneurs who seek us out.
