Most ecommerce businesses are not worth investing in.
Not because they are bad businesses.
But because they are structurally broken.
In this episode, Mark and Ian break down what actually makes an ecommerce business investable and why only a small percentage truly stands out.
They cover:
- Why do only 1 in 10 ecommerce businesses have real scale potential?
- The difference between a lifestyle business and a scalable asset
- What “structurally broken” actually means in ecommerce
- The three key levers every serious investor looks at
- How to spot an unoptimised business with huge upside
- Why high margins and repeat purchases change everything
- The role of conversion rate, average order value, and lifetime value
- Why boring problem-solving products often outperform trendy brands
- How to think about market size and long-term growth potential
This is not a theory.
These are the exact lenses used to evaluate real ecommerce businesses doing millions.
If you are building a brand, this episode will show you what makes it valuable and what holds most businesses back.
