The story behind this began several years ago when CJ and I were trying to sell our e-commerce companies. The process was the most stressful experience of our lives. Drawn-out negotiations. Terrible payment terms. The buyers wanted us gone. We lived with a fear that the businesses we worked so hard to build would be sucked dry and spit out as a shell. We have sold 5 companies and experienced this pain before.
Unlike technology businesses where a large group of buyers exists, e-commerce has an anemic acquirer base. We started Moonshot Brands to fill this gap and make getting acquired approachable. We work with both direct-to-consumer brands and those that sell on online marketplaces.
Our timeline is fast: we provide a valuation within 48 hours and close in 45 days.
We don’t restructure companies. Since founders who have achieved product-market fit are onto something, we want them to join and build with us. We bring the experience and resources to help them grow.
Unlike private equity firms, we’re not in it for short-term gains that leave customers and employees on the hook. We invest long-term and make money from sales growth on the e-commerce sites.
Our goal is to build the acquisitions company that we wish would have existed when we sold our own businesses. The e-commerce sector is growing rapidly, so the timing is right. We have $160M in funding and $15M in revenue to date.

We’re excited to tell you about this so if you have questions we’d love to hear from you!
