If you’re reading this, you might be interested in learning more about the who-what-when-where-why of Yardline Capital. And you’ve come to the right place! We’re so excited to be on this journey and help push ecommerce businesses to the next level.Who is Yardline?

Yardline was co-founded by seasoned pros who cut their teeth in the FBA (fulfilled by Amazon) world: Ari Horowitz, former SVP, of Strategic Partnerships and Corporate Development for Thrasio, the top acquirer of fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) businesses, and Tomo Matsuo, former SVP, Lending Solutions, for the Paysafe Group. Beyond this, we’re a team of go-get-em types who understand the challenges of managing an ecommerce business, and how to thrive from them.

 

What is Thrasio?

Thrasio is the largest acquirer of Amazon businesses and one of the top 25 sellers on Amazon. Prior to founding Yardline, Ari worked closely with Thrasio Co-founder & Co-CEO Carlos Cashman, where they recognized that capital constraints limit business owners from making opportunistic investments in inventory and marketing. Yardline was born out of this vision and launched with backing from Thrasio, to focus on creating a differentiated approach to thriving in the ecommerce ecosystem.

 

What is Yardline?

In short: Yardline provides growth capital to ecommerce businesses. We offer funding and tools to help entrepreneurs grow their online marketplaces, across Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, eBay, and more.

 

When was Yardline founded?

Yardline was founded in November 2020, though our collective experience in growing successful businesses spans decades.
