China’s first Amazon Aggregator Nebula Brands Held the First Business Event

Published

on

As the first Chinese Amazon Aggregator company, Nebula Brands successfully held its first sharing event on August 13 in Shenzhen, with key members from the investment team joining the event.

Speakers from the company talked about the unique business model and acquisition strategies of Nebula Brands and launched the specifically designed initiative, Project Star, for the benefit of Chinese Amazon sellers.

From “Made in China” to “Brands from China”.

Chinese Amazon brands enjoy exceptional advantages in supply chain and E-commerce, adding great impetus to the globalization of products made in China.  

Founded in 2019, Nebula Brands started as a financial service platform designed for Chinese Amazon sellers. As the business continued to grow, the star-up adopted the “Capital Acquisition + Brand Operation” model, which helped it successfully transformed into an Amazon Aggregator company.

Nebula in Chinese means星云(xīng yún), a place where new stars are produced from. For Nebula Brands, each potential Amazon seller can be seen as a new star, waiting to be found and connected.

With adequate capital raised this year, Nebula Brands has built a global team with offices in Beijing, Shenzhen and New York, making fast data-driven decisions to satisfy the need for acquisition in multi-channels, multi-brands and multi-sectors.

When it comes to brand operation, different teams of Nebula Brands work closely with each other, providing quality services in areas like marketing, operations, product development, promotions, supply chain management and customer relationship management. The goal is to constantly upgrade brand strategies and operations, create a diversified company that can empower more sellers, and build a brand matrix for the global markets.

Nebula Brands Acquisition Process Walkthrough

In the event, Nebula Brands shared what they are looking for when evaluating a company for potential acquisition. Their main targets are great Chinese Amazon brands with durable consumer goods and of long-term value. In addition, those Chinese brands need to have a high and stable Amazon ranking in its category, with over 4.0 stars rating and 90% good reviews as well as an annual profit of more than $200,000. It is also preferable if the products have a potential for selling in multi-channels and multi-markets without being influenced by the economic environment. In the post-pandemic era, Nebula Brands favors products under categories like Sports and Outdoors, Kitchen and Dining, Pet Supplies, Tools and Homes, etc.  

What makes Nebula Brands different from other acquires is that the company’s decision-making and deal-making are more agile than those of overseas buyers who are active only in their home market. From start to deal, Nebula Brands can acquire a brand in as short as 25 days. In the event, Nebula Brands provided an in-depth analysis of the local advantages that Chinese aggregators have in acquiring Amazon brands. For example, local experts in China know the Chinese sellers better, resulting in more efficient communication and in-depth understanding of the product. The Chinese acquisition team can complete quality acquisitions as fast as possible. This also gives Chinese brands a chance to better tell their own stories in the global market.

Project Star Unveiled with Premium Service.

Nebula Brands hopes that all Chinese sellers on Amazon can find suitable acquisition companies similar to Nebula Brands, which boasts both tailored acquisition approaches and best-in-class operational capabilities. So they can keep the ownership of more potential brands at home and build real Chinese brands with global vision.

Nebula Brands launched Project Star designed for the first batch of acquired Amazon sellers. They will be given more recourses and tailored service from world-class experts in Nebula Brands. The local supply chains expertise and data-driven decision model will help the potential brands improved in leaps and bounds.

In the Project Star, what those selected Chinese sellers will get includes but not limited to traffic boost, celebrity endorsement, new product R&D, supply chain upgrade, shared revenues, etc. Sharing the equity return of this fast-growing company and trading its stock options at lower prices is another bonus for them. Also, Amazon sellers acquired under the Project Star initiative can applied to be the brand consultant to further enhance their influence in the market and can be paid for providing branding ideas and insights.

Sellers that still got unsold services in Amazon will get from Nebula Brands credit loan with below-market interest and support at cost price from professionals in teams such as marketing, operation, supply chain, IT and legal affairs.

The first sharing event has come to an end, but this is just the beginning of Nebula Brands. With the vision of empowering brands with expertise in the Chinese market and supply chain, Nebula Brands is more than excited for what the future holds. So come and join the adventure with this fast-growing Amazon aggregator!

Published

Ashburn, Virginia, September 22nd, 2026, FinanceWire

– First-Ever Fast Track Designation Granted for a Peeling Skin Syndrome Therapy

– Second Fast Track Designation Granted to QRX003, in Addition to Netherton Syndrome

– Fast Track Designation Facilitates Development and Expedites Regulatory Review of Therapies Addressing Serious Conditions with Significant Unmet Medical Need

– Follows July 2026 FDA Clearance of the First-Ever IND Submitted for Peeling Skin Syndrome

– Phase 2/3 Study Expected to Initiate in 2H 2026, Enrolling up to 12 Pediatric and Adult Patients in the U.S. and Europe

– Peeling Skin Syndrome Currently Has No Approved Treatment

Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNRX) (“Quoin” or the “Company”), a late clinical-stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on rare and orphan diseases, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track Designation to QRX003 for the treatment of Peeling Skin Syndrome (PSS). QRX003 is an investigational topical serine protease inhibitor lotion. Peeling Skin Syndrome is a rare genetic skin disease for which there is currently no approved treatment.

Key Facts

  • Fast Track Designation applies to QRX003 for the treatment of Peeling Skin Syndrome.
  • This is the first ever Fast Track Designation granted for a Peeling Skin Syndrome therapy.
  • Peeling Skin Syndrome is the second indication for which QRX003 has received Fast Track Designation. The FDA granted Fast Track Designation to QRX003 lotion (4%) for the treatment of Netherton Syndrome on March 11, 2026.
  • The designation follows FDA clearance in July 2026 of Quoin’s Investigational New Drug (IND) application for QRX003 in Peeling Skin Syndrome. Quoin submitted that IND on June 2, 2026, and it was the first IND ever submitted to the FDA for the disease.
  • Quoin expects to initiate a Phase 2/3 clinical study of QRX003 in Peeling Skin Syndrome in the second half of 2026.
  • The IND submission was supported by clinical observations from an ongoing investigator-led pediatric study in a single subject. Significant improvements in skin appearance along with positive changes in pruritus and a number of quality-of-life measures have been recorded. Treatment is ongoing and has continued for more than 15 months, with no adverse events reported.
  • There is currently no approved treatment for Peeling Skin Syndrome.

“This is an important regulatory milestone for QRX003 and for a community that today has no approved treatment,” said Dr. Michael Myers, CEO and Co-Founder of Quoin Pharmaceuticals. “Quoin submitted the first IND ever filed with the FDA for Peeling Skin Syndrome, that IND was cleared in July, and QRX003 has now been granted Fast Track Designation for the disease. We expect to initiate our Phase 2/3 study in the second half of 2026, and we believe Fast Track status will allow us to work closely with the agency as we advance the first company-sponsored clinical study in this disease.”

Peeling Skin Syndrome Development Program

The planned Phase 2/3 study is expected to enroll up to 12 pediatric and adult patients with Peeling Skin Syndrome in the United States and Europe. In the study, QRX003 will be applied twice-daily to greater than 80% of patients’ body surface area (BSA) over a 48-week period, with an interim data review at 24 weeks. Quoin is targeting approval of QRX003 as a potential treatment for Peeling Skin Syndrome in 2028.

The IND submission was supported by clinical observations from an ongoing investigator-led pediatric study. The subject has achieved improvements across key objective severity endpoints, including the Modified Ichthyosis Area Severity Index (M-IASI), Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA) as well as pruritus and a pediatric dermatology-specific quality-of-life measure (CDLQI). Treatment is ongoing, and after continued dosing with QRX003 for over 15 months, no adverse events have been reported.

About Fast Track Designation

The FDA’s Fast Track program is designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of drugs that treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need. A therapy granted Fast Track Designation may benefit from more frequent interactions with the FDA, eligibility for rolling review of regulatory submissions, and potential qualification for Accelerated Approval and Priority Review, if relevant criteria are met.

About Peeling Skin Syndrome (PSS)

Generalized inflammatory peeling skin syndrome (PSS) is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis caused by loss-of-function disease-causing variants of the corneodesmosin gene (CDSN), resulting in excessive shedding of the superficial layers of the epidermis. Patients generally suffer from a variety of conditions including severe pain and chronic pruritus (itch). There is currently no approved treatment for PSS.

About QRX003

QRX003 is an investigational topical serine protease inhibitor lotion in late-stage development for Netherton Syndrome and other orphan skin diseases. QRX003 has been granted Orphan Drug, Rare Pediatric Disease, and Fast Track designations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and Orphan Drug Designation in the European Union and Japan for Netherton Syndrome. QRX003 has also been granted Rare Pediatric Disease and Fast Track Designation by the FDA for Peeling Skin Syndrome. QRX003 lotion (4%) is currently being evaluated in Phase 2/3 whole-body clinical trials in patients with Netherton Syndrome. Quoin expects to initiate a Phase 2/3 clinical study of QRX003 in Peeling Skin Syndrome in the second half of 2026.

Press Release

Why Starting Work at 14 Prepared William Stapleton to Sell a Company for $300 Million

Published

3 hours ago

on

September 22, 2026

By

  • William Stapleton, President and CEO of Iron Rock Payments in Frisco, Texas, shares how early work shaped his path from private banking to entrepreneurship.

How did working from age 14 influence your career?

Texas, USA, Sep 22, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — “I have worked since I was 14 years old to support myself and used this work ethic into college,” Stapleton says. He grew up in a working-class household in Long Beach, California. His mother is from Ecuador and his father is of German and Polish descent. Starting work young built financial responsibility and shaped his approach to business.

He played varsity baseball and water polo while working through high school. He graduated with honors from Long Beach Wilson Classical High School near the top of his class. In college, he took an unpaid internship at Salomon Brothers while balancing his studies. “I graduated college with full honors, top of my class academically,” he says. He earned a double major in Rhetorical Theory and Global Economics from California State University, Long Beach in 2006.

What did you learn in private banking that helped you as an entrepreneur?

After graduation, Morgan Stanley Private Bank recruited Stapleton to work in New York. He later joined JPMorgan Chase, where he contributed to building what is now known as the Chase Private Client program. He spent approximately seven years in private banking and advisory roles.

Working with high-net-worth clients taught him how to manage relationships, assess risk, and structure solutions. Those skills transferred directly to running a business. Understanding client needs and delivering value became the foundation of his entrepreneurial approach.

How did you transition from banking to payments?

Stapleton founded PayFacto, a credit card processing company based in Montreal. He built the company from the ground up and grew it until Visa acquired it in 2019. The sale carried an estimated valuation of $300 million.

He did not wait long to start again. In 2012, he founded Iron Rock Payments, a credit card processing company based in Frisco, Texas. The company has been recognized as an Inc. 5000 company and employs 15 people. Stapleton serves as President and CEO.

What do businesses get wrong about payment processing?

Many businesses treat payment processing as a commodity. They focus only on rates and miss the bigger picture. The right processor can improve cash flow, reduce chargebacks, and provide data that drives decisions.

Stapleton emphasizes that service matters as much as price. Businesses need a partner who understands their industry and responds quickly when issues arise. A few basis points saved on fees mean nothing if downtime costs thousands in lost sales.

What lessons from your first exit did you apply to Iron Rock Payments?

Selling PayFacto taught Stapleton the importance of building systems that scale. He learned to hire people who are better than him in specific areas and to trust them. He also realized that culture drives retention and retention drives growth.

At Iron Rock Payments, he focused on creating processes that work whether the company has 5 employees or 50. He invests in technology that automates repetitive tasks so his team can focus on client relationships. He also prioritizes transparency with clients and employees.

What advice do you give to people thinking about starting a business?

Start before you feel ready. Waiting for the perfect moment means you will never start. Stapleton began working at 14 and took an unpaid internship in college because he wanted experience more than money.

He also advises entrepreneurs to stay close to their customers. The best product ideas come from listening to what clients actually need, not from guessing. Finally, he says to protect your reputation. Trust takes years to build and seconds to destroy.

If you do nothing else

  1. Start working as early as you can to build a strong work ethic and financial discipline.

  2. Take internships or entry-level roles that teach you skills, even if the pay is low or nonexistent.

  3. Spend time in an industry before you try to disrupt it so you understand how it really works.

  4. Build systems and processes that can scale as your business grows.

  5. Hire people who are stronger than you in areas where you are weak and trust them to do their jobs.

  6. Listen to your clients and let their needs guide your product and service decisions.

  7. Protect your reputation by delivering on promises and treating people with respect.

Share this Q&A with someone who is thinking about making the leap from employee to entrepreneur or who wants to understand how early work experience shapes long-term success.

Press Release

David Wayne Fish makes a personal pledge: one season, one sport, no missed games

Published

3 hours ago

on

September 22, 2026

By

California, USA, Sep 22, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — David Wayne Fish is putting a specific commitment on the record. With six kids moving through baseball, football, and tennis across overlapping seasons, he says the easiest thing to let slip is presence. So he is naming the standard out loud.

“If one of my kids has a game or a practice, someone from this family is there,” Fish says. “That’s the whole pledge. It sounds simple because it should be simple. The hard part is building a life where you can actually keep it.”

Fish runs healthcare and wellness companies as a consultant and CEO, work that does not pause for a Tuesday scrimmage. He is not pretending otherwise. The pledge is not about having endless free time. It is about deciding in advance what wins when a calendar conflict shows up.

Why he is saying it publicly

Fish has coached football, baseball, and helped organize tennis for years. He says most parents do not fail their kids through some dramatic absence. They fail them through a hundred small ones that never get flagged as decisions at all.

“Nobody skips a game and thinks of it as a broken promise,” he says. “It just looks like a scheduling problem. I wanted to write my own rule down so it stops being negotiable case by case.”

He credits his own father, and the model of family life he grew up with in Michigan, for the instinct behind this. Fish says he was raised around the idea that a father’s job includes showing up, not just providing.

What the commitment actually covers

The pledge Fish is making has a few concrete parts:

Every game gets a family face in the stands. Not every game gets David personally, with six kids and overlapping seasons that is not realistic, but every game gets someone: him, his wife, or another family member who can stand in.

Coaching commitments get finished, not started. Fish says he does not sign up to coach a season and then quietly hand it off when work gets busy. If he takes a team, he finishes the season.

Conflicts get resolved before the week starts, not during it. Fish says he sits down weekly and maps which kid has what, so trade-offs get made on a Sunday with a clear head instead of on a Wednesday in a parking lot.

“I’d rather lose an hour on Sunday mapping the week than lose a moment at my kid’s game because I’m distracted by something I should have planned around,” he says.

What he is asking of himself, not other parents

Fish is careful to frame this as his own standard, not a lecture. He is not telling other families how to run their weeks.

“I’m not in a position to tell another parent what their life allows,” he says. “I know what mine allows, and I know where I’ve cut corners before without meaning to. This is me closing that gap for myself.”

He says the pledge will get tested immediately, since his kids’ seasons rarely line up cleanly. Two games at the same hour, in two different towns, is not a hypothetical for his family. It happens.

“When that comes up, the answer isn’t ‘we’ll figure it out.’ The answer is already written down: someone from this family goes to each one,” Fish says. “I’d rather have made that call in October than try to make it in the car in March.”

Holding himself to it

Fish says he plans to track the pledge the same plain way he tracks anything else he takes seriously: a simple log of games, and who from the family was there. No app, no public scoreboard, just a habit he intends to keep himself honest about.

“If I say I’m going to do something for my kids, I want a way to check whether I actually did it,” he says. “That’s the only accountability that’s ever mattered to me.”
