Fans of the HBO superhit series would know that’s not a good thing - there’s a lot of drama waiting to unfold and blood to be shed. In 2021, investors poured over US$12 billion into this new breed of startups that emerged from the shadows of ecommerce pioneer Amazon. With a focus on acquiring sellers on the US giant’s third-party marketplace, roll-ups rose to prominence following the seismic consumer shift to online buying during Covid-19 lockdowns. These firms went on a debt-fueled splurge. For instance, Thrasio, the nascent industry’s poster child, snapped up more than 200 brands. But the "spray and pray type of investing," as Neso Brands CEO Bjorn Bergstrom puts it in today's featured piece, is no longer in vogue. Funding has mostly dried up for these aggregators as cooling ecommerce sales led to a punishing 2022. While the signs increasingly point toward consolidation as a means of survival, today’s premium story also explores the sluggish pace of acquisitions and the different ways these roll-ups have responded to the ecommerce slowdown -- Shravanth  ---------------------------------------------------------------  THE BIG STORY [Roll-ups 2.0: Changing winds prompt shifts in ecommerce aggregator model]( Under the Aggregator 2.0 model, firms will have to prove they can grow without resorting to simply buying up brands. --------------------------------------------------------------- TRENDING NEWS [GoTo shuts down Pune office in India, slashing 30 jobs]( The company said the move is part of a strategic reorganization of its consumer lending team.
