Acquisitions are rare.
Quiverr alumni had two this week.
Mark Lathrum, my former right hand who could solve any Amazon problem. His agency Tiide Commerce was acquired by Simplistic.
Jed Rawson 🐐, aka Mr. Closer. His agency pirawna - global amazon ad agency was acquired by my friends at Power Digital Marketing
They took an Amazon service model that scared me and turned them into amazing exits.
They thought I was teaching them. I was always taking notes.
Proud of every Quiverr alum still building great agencies:
Straight Up Growth ( Daniel Tejada 🚀 + Marco Tejada)
Macarta now with Mindgruve ( Mike Hodges + Stephen Regan)
Stay Hungry Digital ( Adam Jackson + Jared Bucci)
Sellera Digital ( Kiefer Godfrey)
And special shout out to all those building their careers inside or beyond the Amazon space, so thankful for you all Dan Kohler, Kate Seipp, Amanda Gordon Hinshaw, Lindsey Walker Simmons, Lindsey Price, Tyler Scott, Colin Snowball, Braden Wielick, Danielle Grover, Timothy Leary, Jake Goldstein-Schu, Ellie Cottle (Seta), Ashton Lynum-Young, Connor Greenhalgh, Claudia DeFilippi, Vincent Herrera, Steve Strong, Bradley Seipp, Danny Demichele, Ashley Watkis (Richards), Alisha Cook, Adam Ackad - and everyone else!

Maybe one day they'll higher you back.
