Online wholesale marketplaces are becoming popular with investors.
Companies like Faire and Abound match independent brands with retailers stocking their stores.
Usually retailers find products at trade shows, but those have been canceled amid the pandemic.
Online wholesale marketplaces are having a moment.
Companies like Faire and Abound aim to make it easier for retailers to stock their stores with goods. Think of these platforms like a business-to-business version of Etsy. They sell products made by brands and independent makers so that retailers can purchase them wholesale to sell them in their own stores.

WINNIPEG Manitoba s premier defended his deal for a Canadian-made COVID vaccine as forward thinking, and called on other provinces to follow suit. During a news conference on Wednesday, Premier Brian Pallister said the province is looking for solutions to the vaccine shortages and delays in Canada – he said the solutions Manitoba is looking at may not address the short-term issues. The solution lies in thinking forward, he said. Forward thinking is what we re doing by entering into this arrangement. Pallister announced earlier in February that the province struck a deal with Alberta-based Providence Therapeutics to purchase two million doses of a COVID-19 vaccine it is developing.
