Lior's
origin story

I was born in 1995 and raised in Beer Sheva, a small town in Israel. My mom worked at a grocery store, my dad was an AC technician – and I was just a kid obsessed with finding the next opportunity.

At 14, I found one. I noticed a price gap between TinyDeal and eBay, listed a product, and made $40 profit within hours. I was also selling e-cigarettes at school. That hustle taught me something early: you don’t need permission to start – you just need to move.

Later, while managing multiple eBay stores, I hit a pain point. Order fulfillment and price tracking were eating up my time. So I built a tool to automate it – not to sell, just to make my life easier.

That tool became AutoDS.

1995 Born to a family of immigrants
2002 Reached 100+ eCommerce stores
2009 First online sale at 14
2017 Founded AutoDS

I started showing the software at events, and people asked to use it. That was my signal. I didn’t start AutoDS with a pitch deck or investors. I started with a real problem and users who needed a solution.

In 2016, AutoDS launched – and we bootstrapped it all the way up. No funding. No shortcuts.

Over time, we grew into the #1 all-in-one dropshipping platform. We helped over 1,000,000 entrepreneurs launch and grow their online businesses. Our platform generated over $150,000,000 in annual GMV, and we were rated the #1 Shopify Dropshipping App, top-ranked on Trustpilot, and handpicked by Wix. We published over 1,000 YouTube videos and built a global audience of 200,000+ subscribers.

We also acquired some of the biggest players in our space: Salefreaks, DSMTool, and Viral Vault

2023 Founded BuildYourStore.AI
2023 Acquired DSMtool
2024 Acquired Viral Vault

In 2024, AutoDS became the first dropshipping software to be acquired by a public company – Fiverr. It wasn’t about the exit. It was about scale. Together, we saw an opportunity to serve even more online entrepreneurs around the world.

What’s Next

Inspire more people to start today. Not when they feel ready. Not when the timing is perfect. But right now.

After scaling a global company and selling it to Fiverr, I’m still not chasing a finish line. I’m looking at the next challenge. The next product. The next founder to help.

Because if I could do it, anyone can.
The only thing that matters is that you start
