Welcome to Ten Years Years In The Making - a podcast for operating founders who want to learn how to successfully build and scale a direct-to-consumer e-commerce business. I’m your host, Adam Robinson, Founder and CEO of Retention.com. Over the past 2.5 years, my company has gone from $0-$14M ARR with 6 people and zero funding. Prior to that, I bootstrapped Robly Email Marketing to an 8 figure exit. For over 10 years, I’ve been starting, scaling, and selling companies, and through this podcast, I plan to help others do the same. Join me, as I interview operating Founders of high-growth direct-to-consumer eCommerce companies, mainly in the Shopify Plus ecosystem, about how they got to where they are today, what their endgame is, and how YOU can model their success. In each interview, we’ll discuss origin stories, bootstrapping vs VC funding, acquisition strategy, deal structure, and how to successfully lead an eCommerce business to a future exit.
