Wow, this has been one busy week here as everyone springs back from CNY! This is the thing, I was talking to Amit from ShadowFactory.io (my friend and our Virtual Reality Agency partner) and he said it almost isn’t fair. In that – there is this long holiday, and then everyone pushes and scrambles to jam in more work before slowing back down in the summer. The hustle of Asia business, what can I say?!

Jet.com may be a newer e-commerce marketplace, but it has successfully made its way into the top online retailers list in the US. In fact, in its first year, Jet.com was able to scale up 12 million different products and carried out $1 billion in gross merchandise value. In addition, Walmart acquired Jet.com for a whopping $3.3 billion in 2016 – which is by far the most expensive US e-commerce acquisition of all time.
