Some milestones feel personal. Others feel like a win for the whole team. And then there are those rare moments that capture everything — the hustle, the vision, the growth, the impact — in one headline.
This is one of those moments.
We’re beyond proud to share that our CEO and co-founder, Lior Pozin, has been officially named to the prestigious Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
It’s a recognition that goes far beyond one individual. For us at AutoDS, it’s a spotlight on what we’ve built together—a global community of e-commerce entrepreneurs, dreamers, builders, and doers united by one belief: that financial freedom should be accessible to anyone with an internet connection and ambition.
A Look Back: From a Teen Seller to an Industry Leader
Lior’s journey started in a very familiar place: curiosity and a goal. At 14, he wanted to buy a new phone. So, he opened an eBay store and discovered the power of dropshipping before most people even knew what it was. That spark eventually became a lifelong pursuit of smart dropshipping ideas: he started looking for leaner, more efficient ways to sell online.
Years later, after serving as a military programmer, Lior returned to e-commerce, not just to sell but to solve problems. He wrote the very first version of AutoDS as a personal solution to automate and optimize his own online stores. It wasn’t flashy. It was functional, but that’s exactly what made it powerful.
And it wasn’t long before other sellers wanted in.
Together with Michael Roif (CTO) and Ofir Bukobza (CMO), Lior turned that solo project into what AutoDS is today:
- A global dropshipping platform used by 100,000+ entrepreneurs
- A team of 150+ professionals across continents
- And a company that, in 2023, joined the Fiverr family while continuing to operate with full independence and vision
Why This Forbes Moment Matters
The Forbes 30 Under 30 list isn’t just about youth or numbers. It’s about impact.
It’s about people who see a challenge and build something real in response. It’s about solutions that empower, platforms that transform, and missions that matter.
This is not just a nod to AutoDS’ growth; it’s a validation of what we’ve believed all along: That with the right tools, anyone can start and grow a business. That innovation should serve people, not complicate their lives. And that tech, when done right, can become a bridge to independence, not a barrier.
“The idea was always the same: to help people generate income from home. That’s in our DNA.” — Lior Pozin
What’s Next for AutoDS?
If you know us, you know we don’t sit still.
This past year, we launched BuildYourStore, a platform that allows anyone, even with zero experience, to launch a ready-to-sell store with just a few clicks. We knew that many people were stuck at the starting line, so we built a shortcut.
And that’s how we think about our future: keep listening, keep solving, and keep pushing the limits of what e-commerce automation can do.
Lior’s recognition is a beautiful checkpoint, but for us, it’s also fuel. We’re more inspired than ever to expand what’s possible for online sellers around the world.
A Moment That Reflects Who We Are
This recognition isn’t just about one name on a list, it’s about a mindset that’s driven AutoDS from day one: build with purpose, lead with clarity, and never lose sight of the people we’re here to serve.
To every seller who trusted us with their first product, every creator who built their store from scratch, and every teammate who stayed up late to solve a problem no one saw coming — this moment is shaped by all of you.
Today, we’re focused on building smarter tools, better experiences, and more ways to make e-commerce success a reality for anyone with the ambition to start.
Because this isn’t the peak — it’s just one more step forward.
