Congrats to the Jack Threads team. This should be really inspiring for a lot of Columbus entrepreneurs I know:
Thrillist Acquires Gilt Groupe-For-Dudes Site JackThreadsThe deal moves Thrillist, the NYC-based email-newsletter-for-dudes startup, into the e-commerce market. Previously, Thrillist has generated revenue through ads and sponsorships in its emails and on its website.
We assume this was a relatively small deal to acquire JackThreads' team, technology, and relationships with vendors, which can then be plugged into Thrillist's audience.
"[We] see e-commerce as an exciting ancillary revenue stream for Thrillist with lots of potential,†said Thrillist CEO Ben Lerer, in a statement.
JackThreads launched in Columbus, OH.
