Company mission
To build Europe’s next-generation consumer goods company that acquires and scales category-leading brands across global marketplaces, whilst creating a workplace where people love what they do.
Our take
B2B is currently one of the fastest-growing segments in Amazon’s Marketplace, and it's also one of the most overlooked. With FBA sellers generating over $300 billion in sales in 2020, a 50% year-over-year growth rate, it represents an incredible growth opportunity onto which a number of companies are latching onto.
The team’s deep operational expertise sets Olsam apart from its competition in the Amazon marketplace space, having been successful in building and selling its own brands within the market. In addition, Olsam also takes a different approach from its competitors, focusing on the common consumer products that Amazon is known for whilst also utilising its B2B portal.
Olsam used its 2021 round of raised funds to rapidly acquire larger brands from global entrepreneurs seeking a reliable buyer with deep operational expertise. Companies acquired since then have included FBA aggregator company Flywheel Commerce and Dragon's Den-featured camping brand Colapz.
