558 Lessons from Business Failure w/ Kevin Gibbon (Airhouse)

Going Deep with Aaron Watson

Kevin Gibbon is the CEO and cofounder of Airhouse, an end-to-end operations and logistics platform for modern e-commerce companies.

Airhouse works with companies to make distribution of their consumer goods products easy. They use a platform that is an all-in-one, cloud-based warehouse that maintains itself, helping direct-to-consumer companies get orders from factory to front-door.

This company is informed by Kevin’s previous experience founding Shyp, a verticalized startup tackling the same problem. He raised over $60 million for the company, but it eventually shut down.

In this episode, Aaron and Kevin talk about what he learned from Shyp’s failure, the challenges of operating a good distribution center, and the opportunity for DTC brands to expand internationally.
