Trendsi secures $25M to help sellers dropship more efficiently

Trendsi connects sellers with suppliers while managing the back-end supply chain for its customer base.

Are we still funding pre-packaged Shopify dropship networks in 2022?  About 5 years ago you could not make any money on Amazon reselling someone else’s product.  You need to be a manufacturer to achieve any kind of gross margins.

I believe that day has arrived in online retail as well.  Unfortunately I’m not sure this ends well. don't believe me, just listen to this review on their homepage:

"We have worked with several dropshippers in the past, and Trendsi is hands down the best!"

Shaking my head over here. This is literally a warmed-over idea from 2001.
