info_outlineAre you an "Amazonian"?
Are you an Amazon Ecommerce Seller?
Are you an Instacart Shopper?
This is the episode for you!! In this episode, you will learn about the battle between Amazon Fresh's beta test and a small company that invented the grocery shopping early Instacart type business on an island and moved to Seattle. Listen in as Nater Youngchild talks about what it takes to get to each stage of the entrepreneur journey, and got you here won't necessarily get you there.
His first startup was a grocery delivery service in Seattle, WA that ended up competing with Amazon Fresh's beta test and brought him to Amazon. Nater developed the Household Supplies category while at Amazon in the early 2010's. After his time as an Amazonian, Nater launched an Amazon full service agency where he operated hundreds of Amazon Seller and Vendor accounts, driving over $500MM in Amazon sales growth for partner brands. Nater also ran his own brands as a Seller on Amazon and is today focused on offline sales expansion for the brands he owns and operates.
Nater built a software tool to make running Amazon businesses effective and efficient called D8a Driven in 2019, and sold that software company to Carbon6 in 2023. Nater is now an investor in Carbon6 and a General Manager for D8a Driven, as well as a resident Amazon expert who supports several of their other great tools built for Amazon Sellers and Vendors.
He is married to a Canadian entrepreneur, and they live a life of adventure based out of a travel van and mountain home in the Canadian Rockies. Nater prides himself on a balanced life between entrepreneurial ventures, mountain adventures (with a keen focus on backcountry snowboarding and snowmobiling) and a deep connection with his family, colleagues, and friends abroad.
