Amazon Aggregators - An “Investment Grade” Analysis with Joe Hogg and Rob Salmon of Global Wired Advisors - a podcast by Michael Veazey

Amazon sellers have seen some big trends over the last couple of years. In addition to the growth of the size of ecommerce markets, there has been an explosion in the value of ecommerce businesses, and specifically  brands with a focus on Amazon FBA, especially private label or custom product brands. 

Amazon Aggregators are now a key type of FBA business buyer . They have from a theoretical concept to huge players (with massive funding) within under 3 years. But what are the underlying factors behind this rise? What is driving this explosive growth of eCommerce Aggregators? Who is funding them? And can the growth continue? To answer that question we have two experts from the research division of Global Wired Advisors. With a background in Wall Street, they bring some investment rigour to analysing Amazon Aggregators. Together we explore what is going on with Aggregators, where they’ve come from and what might happen next in this exciting development. 

In the end, the majority of all the cash you ever make on Amazon could end up being made by selling to an aggregator. That being the case, you need to understand who you’re dealing with!   If you own an Amazon-focussed custom product or private label brand, it’s time to really understand these increasingly well-funded and active Amazon players.Meet Our Guests :
