Today, we’ll be talking to Philipp Triebel, who is the Co-Founder of SellerX, one of the big names in the rapidly growing ecommerce aggregator ecosystem, with over 30 closed deals at the time of recording.
FBA businesses are hot right now, some might even say now is the perfect time to be selling an ecommerce business, because of all the big rollup companies getting in on the action.
In this episode, I get to pick Philipp’s brain about why FBA businesses are very appealing to investors, what rollups look for (and what they avoid) in a potential acquisition, and what the endgame is for all these big rollup companies.
If you’re a thriving seller and are starting to think about your exit event, hearing about all these things from a buyer’s perspective is definitely a must.

Mike talks to Bill D'Alessandro about the oncoming supply chain issues as Christmas season starts to roll around.
It’s still September, but if you’re in ecommerce, the holidays are right around the corner. With all that said, a lot of us are concerned about how to deal with Q4 as we’re still wrestling with this perfect storm of supply chain issues.
My guest today is Bill D’Alessandro, and I think he’s the perfect guy to talk to about all these things.
Bill is the CEO of Elements Brands, an ecommerce rollup company that focuses on acquiring and scaling consumer products brands.
He’s involved in a lot of stuff in ecommerce, which makes him the perfect guest to talk to about dealing with longer lead times going into the holidays, higher costs, and the general unpredictability in ecommerce heading into Q4.
We also talk about ecommerce inflation and the ways that you can keep your business profitable.

I want to thank Bill for the enlightening conversation. I can’t wait to hear more of his insights and have him back on the podcast in the near future.
Despite all these challenges ecommerce sellers are currently facing, now is a good time to be selling an ecommerce business, because more and more rollups are joining in on the action.
If you’re thinking about that graceful exit, we’re inviting you to a free public webinar on October 5, 2021 at 10 AM (PST) about Selling Your Ecommerce Business for Top Dollar, where Dave and I will be walking you through the entire process of preparing your business for sale all the way to closing the deal.

We’ve made the jump to video podcasts! You can now not only listen, but watch full episodes on the EcomCrew Podcast YouTube channel.
Today, Dave and I are excited to catch-up and talk about our businesses, and how 2021 has been for us so far. In my opinion, it’s been the hardest year in ecommerce ever since I started 8 years ago, and that’s because of the uncontrollable circumstances that have been plaguing the industry.
But Dave seems to disagree.
We explore Dave’s side of the story, why stress is at an all time high, and the progress of my newest acquisition.
