Prime Talk - eCommerce Podcast

In this Prime Talk Podcast Video Sponsored by GETIDA – Ari Horowitz - Co-Founder & CEO of YardLine Capital - A growth capital provider for eCommerce sellers, shares his personal journey into eCommerce.

Ari was born and raised in NYC. He graduated from University in the early 90s and landed his first job with the Quaker Oats Company in Chicago, IL. He then returned to NYC and enter the technology industry and meets a very special friend called Carlos Cashman. In the next 30 years, Ari and Carlos worked together across a variety of ventures until Carlos eventually co-founded Thrasio - A rising star in the E-Commerce industry that is already valued at over $1 billion.

In 1994 Ari founded Icon CMT, and in 1997 he founded Great Peak Technologies which got sold to a public company in 1998. Then he founded Opus360 that owned FreeAgents.com and went public in 2000. Over the next decade, Ari focused on doing business in the content, entertainment, and hospitality industries.

In 2018 Carlos Cashman has already founded Thrasio and reached out to Ari to join the innovative venture of rolling up Amazon brands into a powerhouse of online Consumer Product Brands. Ari helped with the rapid growth of Thrasio until he recognized something unique about Amazon sellers. Due to lack of proper financing, they miss out on maximizing potential earnings and often miss out on an opportunity to be purchased during an exit. This led him to create Yardline Capital and fuel the growth of E-Commerce sellers.
