Charles Kenny built a profitable e-commerce brand after solving a recovery problem he experienced firsthand. The product worked, customers were buying, and the business ran cleanly.

Still, as the brand matured, one limit became hard to ignore. Growth depended on continuously finding new customers, with little in the model to build on each sale.

Instead of forcing scale, Charles listed the business on ⁠Acquire.com⁠ and took it through a full acquisition process.

You'll hear:

• How Charles built a profitable eCommerce brand
• What limited long-term growth
• What happened after listing on ⁠Acquire.com⁠
