I built several successful e-commerce companies and I recently graduated from Cratejoy’s Subscription Box Accelerator Program. AMA!

Hi /r/Entrepreneur, I've been a long time lurker in this subreddit for years!

​

About me:

• At 13, I started selling on Amazon and eBay (still running after 15 years!)
• Went to college and go a degree in Entrepreneurship
• Started an exotic car blog and gained over 140k followers
• Built several e-commerce businesses under the D2 America banner and took that company from $0 to $5M+ in revenues
• Lived in Mexico for two years and managed an operation with over 50+ employees
• Built ton of direct partnerships with big companies like Amazon, eBay, and Walmart. Licensing agreements, wholesale accounts, and other unique deals.

Recently, I built and launched a subscription box called Half It.

The startup just graduated from a rigorous six-weeks Accelerator Program hosted by Cratejoy. I'm very honored to be a part of an amazing and supportive community throughout the pre-launch period. Check out my graduating class here,

​

Here are the tools I used to build Half It:

- Cratejoy - Cart solution + subscription box marketplace

- Shopify - Front-end solution

- Cloudflare - CDN for faster website delivery

- Privy - Roulette for email list growth

- Smile.io - Customer loyal with tons of gamification

- Klaviyo - Email delivery service

- Picreel - Exit intent popup

- Carthook - Cart abandonment recovery

- Shareasale - Affiliate network and management

- Canva - The savior for graphic design noobies like me

- Trello - Project management tool to manage team internationally

- Arka - Custom box solution

​

Here is also another great tool to see the tech behind any website: BuiltWith

​

All photos on Half It was shot with my iPhone and sent to a freelancer to touch up.

​

I'll be here for the next six hours answering any questions and try to be as helpful as I can for you!

Edit: thanks everyone for participating in the AMA! It was fun!

​

Here is a hookup for a Half It sample pack that will ship by Dec 11th.
