This investor is looking to put money into ecommerce shops
Moiz Ali (yes, the guy who sold Native to P&G for $100M) is looking to invest in DTC brands and ecom SaaS again.
His bar is high, as he wants to see $10M run rate within 2 years for brands, $1M ARR for SaaS. But if you’re close and need capital, he would be a good investor to have in your roster.
