How Distro makes money
Monetization →Distro monetizes primarily through marketplace commissions by taking a margin on purchases made within its marketplace. The company generates recurring revenue, processing about three and a half million dollars in annual recurring revenue (ARR).
How Distro grew
Growth →Distro grew in part through direct sales, as its founders drummed up leads and went to lunch with the leadership team at 1-800-CONTACTS, which quickly signed on after two meetings. A prospective partner reached out to Distro on LinkedIn, and according to that partner, Distro was the market leader processing the most data and was chosen as the best solution available.
