We give brand owners the exit they earned.
Operator-led acquirer of profitable Amazon, Shopify and Walmart brands, backed by capital, organic traffic and a proven operating team.
Not a passive fund. Not a flipper. An operator-led acquirer.
When we buy a brand, it plugs into a machine that is already running: top-tier M&A expertise, advanced digital audience acquisition, rigorous financial control and battle-tested Amazon operations, all under one roof.
Our US subsidiaries operate across Amazon, Shopify and Walmart Online, with operational hubs in Ho Chi Minh City and a supply network spanning the US, China and Southeast Asia. US market access, lean high-output cost base.
What we acquire
If a deal lands inside this box, we move quickly. If it sits just outside, talk to us anyway: we look at adjacencies.
Real, repeatable margins
Consistent, defensible profit rather than one-off spikes.
A genuine brand
Differentiated products, registered IP, loyal customers.
Room to scale
A category where our advertising automation and supply chain create immediate upside.
Operational clarity
Clean financials, clear ownership, healthy Amazon account standing.
Outright purchase
Clean exit, full transfer of ownership.
Majority + earn-out
Owner retains upside while we provide capital and operations.
Structured / phased
Staged payments tied to performance milestones for the right brand.
We do not just acquire. We actively build.
Every acquired brand runs through a four-pillar value-creation plan, executed by a team that has done it before.
Omnichannel expansion
We take brands beyond single-channel dependency, integrating them across Amazon, Walmart and Direct-to-Consumer on Shopify. One winning channel becomes three.
Advanced traffic & SEO
Our proprietary digital-publishing network and elite SEO capability drive high-converting organic traffic directly to product listings, significantly lowering customer acquisition cost. A lever almost no other acquirer can pull.
Operations & supply chain
Big-4-level financial controls and FMCG-standard supply chain management: tighter PPC, better sourcing across China and Southeast Asia, lower COGS, disciplined inventory. TTK Services has been running US Amazon operations since 2021. We are not learning on your brand.
Capital injection
We deploy capital into inventory, brand repositioning and channel expansion. Roadmap: USD 1–2M in 2026, USD 3–5M targeted in 2027 to diversify SKUs and dominate categories.
The team behind Cene8
You are not selling to a faceless fund. Cene8 is led by four owners combining deep e-commerce operations, institutional finance, consumer-goods expertise and digital business building.
Brown Lachlan James
Co-founder of Brown Brothers Media, a digital-publishing group reaching over 50 million monthly pageviews, and an active acquirer of digital brands including DMNews and Silicon Canals. Founder of Hack Spirit and a bestselling author. For Cene8, Lachlan drives high-converting external traffic straight to the portfolio.
Huynh Thanh Dat
Tier-1 institutional finance background spanning National Australia Bank and State Street, through corporate development at Phoenix Holdings (the group behind Timo digital bank and McDonald's Vietnam). Dat ensures every Cene8 transaction is cleanly structured, financially robust and properly capitalized.
Tran Tien Khai
The operational engine of Cene8. As founder of TTK Services, Khai brings years of hands-on, highly technical experience in US Amazon operations: the algorithms, the logistics and the daily grind required to win on the world's most competitive marketplace.
Phung Anh Hung
Big-4 auditing at Deloitte through senior FMCG and retail finance roles at Masan Consumer, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and Central Retail. Hung ensures top-line growth translates strictly to bottom-line profitability, safeguarding margins during high-growth phases.
