History
RevZilla was founded in November 2007 by Nick Auger, Anthony Bucci, and Matthew Kull with an initial capital investment below $30,000. Utilizing their skills in e-commerce and web development, they launched the business as an online motorcycle gear retailer.[1][2]
The business began in a modest location within Queen Village, Philadelphia before relocating in 2008 to a larger warehouse facility in South Philadelphia that combined headquarters and retail space.[3]
By 2010, annual revenues surpassed $10 million and climbed to $20 million the following year.[3][4] In 2012, the company expanded its workforce by 25 employees while maintaining $20 million in revenue and was honored with the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce's "Emerging Business of the Year" award.[3][5] That same year saw the opening of a new warehouse in Las Vegas, Nevada. By 2018, RevZilla had tripled in size.[4]
In 2013, the company consolidated its showroom, warehouse, and distribution operations by moving headquarters to the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard.[6] The Greater Philadelphia Alliance for Capital and Technology named RevZilla "IT Innovator of the Year" in 2014.[7] By the end of that year, staff numbers had increased to 140 employees.[8][9]
