Our take
Scaling and selling a business on Amazon can be incredibly difficult and complex. Acquco solves this problem by buying and scaling third-party seller businesses.
Acquco was founded by a team of former Amazonians with additional experience building their own multimillion dollar businesses on the platform. This has made Acquco uniquely well-positioned within the market. The company faces stiff competition from rival acquisition companies, but it hopes to set itself apart through diversification.
It has already launched tech and analytics teams, and funding secured has allowed it to pursue aggressive growth plans in the coming years. Having already seen significant growth, by operating in a much needed niche and through its expert leadership, Acquco's future prospects look strong.
