SellerX to Acquire Elevate Brands, Creating One of the World’s Leading eCommerce Aggregators

SellerX, one of the most successful eCommerce aggregators in Europe, has signed an agreement to acquire Elevate Brands, a leading U.S.-based aggregator of eCommerce businesses. The combined companies will form SellerX Group and become one of the world’s largest consolidators of eCommerce brands with a diversified portfolio spanning over 40,000 consumer products. The combined business will have a strong global footprint and sales of over €400m.

This acquisition brings together two key players in the aggregator space, each of which have established themselves as highly trusted and reputable partners for marketplace-native sellers in their respective markets. Bringing together complementary global footprints, the joint business will cover both the European and U.S.-markets with a roughly even revenue split across the two regions. The combined brand portfolio will consist of over 80 Amazon-native private label consumer brands in the segments of sports & outdoors, home & kitchen, mobile accessories, pets, and consumables.

The combined business will build on SellerX’s advanced technology platform, global supply chain infrastructure with proprietary warehouse operations, product launching, and internationalization capabilities. Elevate Brands will contribute its strong expertise in turning marketplace-native products into consumer brands sold across multiple channels. Leveraging a combined operational platform, the company will realize significant synergies across the value chain and achieve an attractive profitability profile through operational efficiencies. Furthermore, SellerX Group will have the ability to expand omni-channel distribution capabilities in local markets, including into traditional retail channels.

The acquisition is expected to close by the end of June 2023, subject to customary completion conditions. SellerX current co-founders Philipp Triebel and Malte Horeyseck will continue to lead the combined company as Co-CEOs. Elevate Brands’ co-founders will take on key leadership positions: CEO Ryan Gnesin will serve as President of the combined business, Chief M&A Officer Jeremy Bell will become Global Head of M&A, and Chief Growth Officer Rob Bell will head Global Business Development. The operations of the combined business will be steered from the SellerX headquarters in Berlin.

Philipp Triebel, co-founder of SellerX and Co-CEO of the combined company, said, “Elevate Brands and SellerX are a perfect match: a strong cultural fit, a shared vision, and complementary capabilities. This acquisition combines our know-how and diversified portfolios of strong brands with a market-leading technology platform and strong operational infrastructure. By leveraging our combined strengths, I am convinced we are well-positioned to drive further consolidation in the industry.”

Ryan Gnesin, co-founder of Elevate Brands and President of the combined company: “We are thrilled to combine forces with SellerX and to continue building world class omni-channel brands. Together we have a mission of becoming one of the world’s leading consumer product companies. Our tremendously talented team are excited to continue expanding our portfolio across numerous distribution channels, including traditional retail partners. The combined business has the technology, expertise and a wealth of data that will enable us to identify emerging consumer trends, rapidly test and iterate product ideas and fulfill demand across Europe and North America.”

In connection with the acquisition, a number of existing SellerX shareholders are investing new equity financing of more than €60m. The investment is led by Sofina with participation from L Catterton, Cherry Ventures, Felix Capital, 83North, Upper90 and TRCM Fund. In parallel, funds and accounts managed by BlackRock and Victory Park Capital have upsized their existing credit facility, which provides additional capital for M&A opportunities for the combined business.
