Thrasio, once king of e-commerce aggregation, files for Ch.11

Thrasio, the e-commerce aggregation start-up known for acquiring and restructuring smaller brands on marketplaces like Amazon, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company has secured $90 million in emergency financing and plans to eliminate around $495 million of existing debt. Thrasio has been experiencing financial difficulties for some time, including layoffs and exiting certain markets. The bankruptcy filing highlights the challenges faced by late-stage tech companies seeking funding during a downturn in the funding market. Thrasio's model of consolidating small e-commerce businesses faced difficulties due to changing consumer tastes and tightening economies. While Thrasio's collapse is significant, other roll-up companies that have raised substantial funds are likely to face similar challenges.
