- Origins of Beast Gear: Ben launched Beast Gear as a strength and conditioning brand while working in oil and gas. By 2019, it reached $6M in annual revenue, becoming the largest in the UK and Europe.
- Sale of the Brand: In 2019, Ben sold Beast Gear to an aggregator in the first European acquisition of its kind. The offer was life-changing, supporting Ben's growing family and personal goals.
- Aggregator Mismanagement: Ben observed how the aggregators, driven by financial motives rather than e-commerce expertise, failed to maintain Beast Gear’s quality and brand identity. This resulted in the erosion of the “soul” of the brand.
- The Fallout: By late 2023, the aggregator faced Chapter 11 bankruptcy, struggling with its portfolio of over 200 brands, which it eventually downsized to fewer than 50.
- Romantic Yet Strategic Move: Ben combined emotion with pragmatism, starting with contacting former aggregator contacts and leading to complex negotiations.
- The Deal: Ben and a former aggregator founder acquired Beast Gear among distressed brands, with minimal upfront costs, consignment inventory, and an earn-out model.
- Market Evolution: The e-commerce landscape is now more competitive, but Ben sees opportunities to leverage his experience and the brand’s history.
- Addressing Competition: Competitors often fail to build authentic customer relationships. Ben aims to revitalize Beast Gear’s identity and reconnect with its loyal audience.
- The US Market: Not entering the US market was a major regret. Ben sees it as a significant opportunity for future expansion, despite brand recognition challenges.
- Mitigate Risks: Minimize upfront investment and use consignment for inventory.
- Leverage Relationships: Use your brand knowledge to position yourself as the best buyer.
- Stay Rational: Ensure the deal is financially sound, not emotionally driven.
- Be Prepared for Challenges: A buyback often means rebuilding a damaged asset from scratch.
