How it happened

Thrasio was a US e-commerce aggregator that bought and scaled third-party Amazon Marketplace brands, reaching a peak valuation of roughly $10B in 2021. As demand normalized post-pandemic and debt costs rose, the roll-up model faltered amid overpaid acquisitions and integration struggles.
