E406: How Aggregators Acquire Ecommerce Brands with Jake Wolpert of Acquco

The Ecomcrew Ecommerce Podcast

Ecommerce aggregators have been all the rage this past year. We decided to kick off a podcast series with some of the biggest names in the aggregator space to help sellers understand the acquisition process and get that graceful exit.

Today’s guest is Jake Wolpert. He’s the Head of Sales at Acquco, a relatively young ecommerce aggregator that’s made a name for itself rather quickly.

We’ll talk about what Acquco and other aggregators look for when acquiring ecommerce businesses, what kinds of deals you can expect when selling, and the most important things you need to know to exit your business without leaving money on the table.
