Moiz Ali built Native and sold it to P&G for $100M in just two and a half years.
Today, he spends his time investing in, advising, and studying e-commerce businesses, giving him a unique view into what separates long lasting brands from businesses that are simply growing fast.
In this conversation, Moiz shares what he is seeing across the space in 2026, including why most founders should focus on building a strong product before trying to manufacture a brand, why repeat purchase rate is one of the most important numbers in e-commerce, how to stay lean while scaling, and what makes a business genuinely investable.
We also talk about Meta volatility, healthy profit margins, testing products before committing too much time or capital, hiring exceptional people, and what life looks like after a major exit.
