M arc Lore is a visionary American serial entrepreneur in the e-commerce space, renowned for creating and selling multiple billion-dollar companies. His first major success was Quidsi, the parent company of Diapers.com, which he co-founded and sold to Amazon in 2011 for roughly $550 million. He followed this up with his most ambitious project, Jet.com, an e-commerce platform that aimed to compete directly with Amazon using an innovative dynamic pricing model. In 2016, just over a year after its launch, Walmart acquired Jet.com for $3.3 billion, the largest-ever U.S. e-commerce acquisition at the time.

As part of the Walmart deal, Lore took charge of the retail giant's U.S. e-commerce division, a role he held until his departure in 2021. Since leaving Walmart, he has embarked on a new chapter of ambitious ventures. He is a co-owner of the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves and the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx, alongside former baseball star Alex Rodriguez. He is also the founder and CEO of Wonder Group, a food-tech company. Perhaps his most futuristic project is Telosa, a plan to build a new, sustainable and equitable city from scratch in the American desert.
