The brand originally launched in 900 Target doors with two SKUs: Beef Organ Superfoods and Goddess Creatine Bites. Primal Queen has quietly become a force in the supplements category. The company bootstrapped its way to $300M in lifetime sales in under 30 months while being profitable.

Today marks one of the most meaningful milestones in Passport’s journey: we’ve signed an agreement to be acquired by Global-e Nine years ago, Passport started with a simple but ambitious vision: Help brands reach their global potential. Since then, we’ve built a proprietary global shipping network that now leads the market in transit times and customer experience, along with a full suite of solutions that supports brands at every stage from cross-border enablement to in-country operations and marketplace management. And most importantly, we earned the trust of incredible brands and 3PLs around the world. What makes this moment special is that great companies are bought, not sold. As we continued to build for the future, Global-e approached us because they saw the value in what this team built: our logistics infrastructure, our operational depth, our customer relationships, and our approach for enabling global commerce. This partnership is so exciting because our visions to help brands go global are deeply aligned. Together, we can help more brands expand globally, faster and more confidently, with a more complete solution than either company could offer alone. To our customers: thank you for trusting us with your brands, your growth, and your customers around the world. Many of you took a chance on Passport early, partnered closely with us, pushed us to improve, and helped shape the company we are today. To our partners: thank you for helping us build a truly global ecosystem. Cross-border commerce is impossible without strong operational and strategic partnerships, and we would not be here without you. To our investors: thank you for believing in Passport’s vision from the beginning and for supporting us through every stage of growth. Your partnership, guidance, and conviction helped us build a company capable of redefining what global commerce can look like for modern brands.  And to the Passport team: thank you. This moment belongs to all of you. Thank you for the late nights, the ownership, the resilience, the creativity, and the belief in what we were building especially during the hard moments. What this team accomplished over the last 9 years is extraordinary, and this acquisition is a direct reflection of that work. I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve built together. And the best part is we’re just getting started. Press Release here: investors.global-e.com/news-…

Find yourself a 3PL that solves problems. We had 10,000 shirts stuck at customs because they were missing a sticker. Charging us 3k per day that it wasn’t fixed. Our 3PL sent a team of people to sticker the 10k shirts which took 2 days within 24 hours of being notified. These guys are literally the goats. @ianyount_ @EDunion Mountainy.
