TECO:
We're Here To Help
We know what you’re thinking.
It sounds too good to be true.
This is all free?
How?
Why?
We get where you’re coming from. It’s hard to believe that a group of providers want to show up for you just out of the goodness of their hearts. With no monetary exchange. What’s the catch?
The thing is, that at TECO, we truly believe in this idea of community and that we are all connected. When our sellers thrive, so do we. We contribute because we believe in the power of collective success.
If we show up just to make a profit, we may see short-term success.
But we’re in it for the long haul.
And so we show up with the genuine desire to help our sellers grow.
By building this community, we will feed a forever cycle of joint growth and success.
This is TECO.

- Vital information

Our Origin Story
Dinner and a Dream
It was November of 2020 and the business world was reeling from Covid and its continued financial devastation. The five of us met for dinner, outdoors of course, with heaters blasting. The topic on the table? How hard it was to find new clients right now. There were no events and no opportunities.
Then David shared his idea: “You see this dinner? This is how I make money and do business. Let’s start having dinners. Let’s create events. Let’s make a community, pool our resources and do this together!”
Not all of us believed in the idea right away. We each had our own business to run and this sounded like a mammoth project to undertake- the scope of what David was describing was enormous. But we were willing to give it a try.
From 10k to 100k
We decided to start with a giveaway, each offering $2,500 worth of services, from our four companies (Amazon Xperts, Getida, AZSeller Kit, and the Creative Percent), a total of $10,000. But before we knew it, over 40 different providers heard about our initiative and wanted to join. Our only requirement was that products be given fully, no strings attached. We wanted to make sure we were only offering good products from good people.
Our first kickoff event took place May 5th, 2021, and we had over $100,000 in e-commerce giveaways, with 50 winners. This was a four-hour virtual event, live-streamed, where partners shared their expertise and how they solve problems in the e-commerce world.
In July, we held our first SellerMania event, featuring keynote speaker Liran Hirschkorn sharing his knowledge on Amazon ads brand analytics, as well as a game show: 10 sellers were chosen to play a White Elephant game and won prizes worth over 20k in value.
Live and Personal
Our first Sellers Dinner was held in Brooklyn, NY on August 25, 2021, and 120 people attended. We were blown away by the response. The event started at 7:00 pm and at 1:00 am, no one wanted to leave, they were having such a good time. This was a turning point for us. We realized we had something here, the market was showing us that there was a real need for what we were offering. We kicked it up a notch at our next event in November, with over 250 attending at a steakhouse in Miami, many flying in just for the event.
Since then, we’ve only grown, hosting more Seller Manias and Seller Dinners. We are now branching out to host an NYTM (Not Your Typical Meetup), which includes 90 minutes of intimate, roundtable discussion, moderated by industry experts, as well as dinner, happy hour, and blackjack tables. We keep on evolving, looking for ways to stay current with what the market needs. Our events, from Seller Mania to the Seller Dinners, not only give people the opportunity to meet and do business, but to do so in a relaxing, natural environment, helping to forge real relationships.
Our Why:
At TECO, everyone involved is here to deliver value, offering information, connecting people, answering questions and serving as a guide for Amazon sellers. We are helping people with their livelihood, and that feels amazing.
People want to do nice things, they want to give back. TECO provides the opportunity. We are a community that thrives on collaboration. This is what we’re all about and this is why we succeed.
“My Dad raised me to believe a few things. He told me that if something is too good to be true, it’s not good, and it’s not true. But he also taught me that there is an exception to every rule. TECO is that exception.”
TECO is a community that makes the answers you need easily accessible. It's all right here.
