Amazon is arguably the biggest winner in the ecommerce 1.0 era, and to a certain extent, defined the era. T
he company has a phenomenal record of growth since its inception in 1994.
The only reason we chart its growth since 1998 is that Amazon’s early growth rates were literally off the chart.
Investor returns are similarly impressive, and are really of a totally different character than anything else in the Internet sector—with stock appreciation measured in the thousands of percentage points.
