What happens when your $500M fund collapses on a single Zoom call?

Brian Burt, founder of Canopy Management, lived it — and came back stronger. In this episode of Founder to Founder, we talk about scaling an Amazon agency, managing 100+ people with zero micromanagement, and what it really takes to win in e-commerce in 2025.

🔥 You’ll learn:

• Why Amazon agencies collapsed — and how Canopy survived

• How Brian built a $100M fund by acquiring 17 businesses

• What products actually work on Amazon today

• The “pods + profit share” model that scales teams fast

• How to attract M&A investors without chasing them

• Performance-based pricing: why it works (and when it doesn’t)

If you’re building an agency, brand, or buying businesses — this is your blueprint.
