Short Explainer on the (potential) bloodsport tactics in play.[1]
> Amazon's coup against Flexport in the battle for logistics, in 12 months:
1. Dave Clark, 20+ year Amazon vet joins as CEO of Flexport
2. Amazon works out a deal with Shopify to partner on logistics, on the condition that Shopify exits logistics, i.e. sells Deliverr, a notoriously overpriced acquisition and unprofitable division
3. Dave buys Deliverr from Shopify, installs bureaucracyOS at Flexport
4. Dave leaves Flexport, same day Amazon announces its deal with Shopify
> Amazon removes Shopify as a fulfillment competitor and severely hobbles Flexport
I don’t know if Flexport is big enough to be a threat here, but would be some brutal shit if true.
