In this episode of the Athlete Entrepreneur podcast, we speak with Will Basta, co-founder of Ascend, an e-commerce automation company that provides a unique approach to creating passive income streams.
Ascend is vertically integrated and works with individuals looking to build a profitable e-commerce store. Unlike other companies that focus on digital marketing or product sourcing, Ascend serves as an alternative investment vehicle. With infrastructure in place across the entire e-commerce value chain, Will sources consumer items at large discounts and sells them on Amazon and Wal-Mart, undercutting the competition while remaining profitable.
Will's goal is to create a passive revenue stream for investors and then build value in the store through sales, reviews, and other metrics, which investors can later sell for 3x to 10x revenue. With a guaranteed return on the initial investment and a buyback policy for unsold inventory within 90 days, Ascend offers a differentiated solution in the e-commerce industry. It's a fascinating model that has gained the attention of over 300 clients, several warehouses, and hundreds of employees after just a few years of operations.
In this episode, Will shares his journey and the strategies he used to create a successful company. He also talks about the benefits and guarantees that Ascend offers to its clients, making it a must-listen for aspiring entrepreneurs looking to build a passive income stream in the e-commerce industry. Tune in to learn from Will's experience as an athlete entrepreneur and discover how Ascend can help you achieve your entrepreneurial goals.
