Insights From the CEO of Society Brands, A Leading Tech-Enabled Consumer Products Company


Listen Later

Welcome to eCommerce Fastlane. Today my guest is Michael Sirpilla is the CEO and Co-Founder of Society Brands.

In this episode, Michael dives into the unique strategies Society Brands employs to help eCommerce businesses scale and thrive. Over the last few years, Society Brands has acquired 12 companies and achieved over $100M in annual revenue, with the majority coming from Shopify-powered, direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands.


Society Brands’ innovative “Built for Founders by Founders” approach offers entrepreneurs not just a financial exit but an opportunity for ongoing collaboration, shared resources, and even a second exit.


Here’s what we cover in today’s conversation:

  • The benefits of aligning operations, technology, and marketing for sustainable growth
  • The importance of building direct-to-consumer brands vs. relying solely on marketplaces like Amazon
  • Society Brands’ focus on health, wellness, and personal care brands
  • The concept of “accretive dilution” and how it creates wealth for founders post-acquisition
  • Leveraging proprietary technology and data insights for scaling businesses

Whether you’re a founder considering selling your business or looking for insights on scaling your eCommerce brand, this episode is packed with actionable advice and inspiration.
