How do you turn a side hustle into a 2-billion-dollar business? This might sound too good to be true, but it did happen when Spencer Jan jumped into entrepreneurship and started a business in a garage in 2010 with only $15,000. Called Solo Stove then, the business eventually grew into Solo Brands and in 2021, raised $219 million through an IPO (NYSE: DTC).
After a decade of starting and growing e-commerce businesses and having successfully exited the daily operations of Solo Stove, Spencer is now on a mission to help other e-commerce entrepreneurs find success.
