Question
I would like to learn everything I can about how to create an eCommerce brand to eventually be acquired in 3-5 years. I have experience in eCommerce but no experience at all with acquisitions/selling a company.
Answer
It's great that you're considering your exit now. Some buyers like to be the first capital to the table so having multiple rounds of funding may be fast no. While other buyers will get in on the fun and hope to make big wins once the company is public. Focus on building a good company with significant revenue...you will have no issue finding a buyer.
