Agree with all of this. Niche distributors who bring unique products and/or services have been here for a long time and are not going away. I don't think they can compete on commodities as well, but maybe if they bundle a unique service with them, they'll find a niche. Entrepreneurs always seem to find an angle lol.
Thank, Steve. I'm looking for more details on tech stacks for small distributors. Do they use Square? Is anyone offering something specifically for entrepreneurs with a distributor core? How about a master distributor stepping up? I'm not aiming these questions at you, but if you can point me in the right direction, all help is appreciated.

Mark, I have nothing to add here, am not up to speed on what's out there. Lmk when you find out.
The small distributor sounds very much like the artisan food industry. Have any chain restaurants every been awarded a Michelin star?
Hmmm. Maybe there should be a "Michelin" award for small b2b entrepreneurs.
