Helping brands and sellers on Wamart.com/Walmart Marketplace have the data they need to drive their business. This includes data such as product sales estimates, buybox%, price history, sales rank, review history, and much more.

After 10 years at Amazon, I left to pursue a dream of being an entrepreneur and learning how to pave my own path. In this first year, I explored a bunch of different opportunties below, some of which will continue, but ultimately landed on DataSpark as my primary venture. We are helping brands and sellers use data to ignite their Walmart.com business. You can follow my adventures at justinmaner.com. Some of the areas I explored: 1) Some ecommerce consulting gigs - I love helping businesses figure out how to master the online/ecommerce space, especially when it involves inventing something new!2) Motivation Fund - This was born from a desire to help people be the best version of themselves. It helps take that motivation you feel to be better in one moment and make it last. Basically, set a personal development goal, set aside money into a fund, then get the money back when you achieve the goal or give to charity if you don't. It's quirky, but it works! I dare you to give it a try! https://motivation.fund/3) pricetempter.com - It's fun to be tempted by great prices! This was an attempt to help people discover great prices and create more dynamic deal based interest lists. But after a few attempts to make this work and disagreements with Amazon, we decided to put this on pause. 4) I absolutely love being a husband and father. Having fun as a family is the best! We've created a website and youtube channel to help inspire others to make time for having just a little more family fun.

I love finding opportunities to give back and help others on their journey.
