What does your valuation process look like? Are the prospective buyers uploading csv dumps from their ecommerce store e.g. shopify, woocommerce, etc.. Or are you integrating into these stores to pull the info you need?

Yes and yes. We are building out integrations to automate, right now we are doing a mix of manual and automated processing. There are a bunch of different companies that have built pipes into the platforms and then there is clean up and analysis. One of the nice things about these busiensses is that they are not super complex and by doing a data dump from amazon and their DTC site you can get almost all you need on revenue side, then if they are spending on facebook/insta or google you need to pull that data in as well.
I'd add after we agree on terms we do a light weight due diligence process with accounting/law firms to confirm what we saw
