Rush Wehbi, Founder of Sell The Trend, an AI-powered drop-shipping platform that helps entrepreneurs discover winning products and automate their ecommerce businesses using real-time data joins eCommerce Radio.
Listen to interview with host Eric Dye & guest Rush Wehbi discuss the following:
- You have a fascinating background—from winning a Juno (Canadian grammy) as a music producer to founding a top e-commerce platform. How did your experience in the studio influence the way you approach data and ‘Product Discovery’ in the SaaS world?
- For someone just starting with a platform like Shopify or Wix, what is the ‘Mathematics of a Winner’? What are the core metrics—like profit margins and engagement signals—that an AI-driven product research tool is looking for?
- There’s always been this debate between intuition and data in business. In modern ecommerce, do you think there’s still room for ‘gut feeling,’ or is everything becoming data-driven?
- A lot of platforms promise ‘automation,’ but the reality often falls short. What does true automation actually look like in a modern dropshipping business?
- As we move through 2026, we’re seeing a clear shift from traditional dropshipping to what you’ve been calling ‘AI Dropshipping.’ What fundamentally changes in this new model, and why do you believe entrepreneurs who don’t adapt will struggle to compete in 2026 and beyond?”
Rachid “Rush” Wehbi is the Founder of Sell The Trend, an AI-driven dropshipping platform built to help entrepreneurs find winning products and automate their ecommerce businesses with precision. Since launching the company in 2019, he has helped hundredes of thousands of online sellers move away from guesswork and toward data-backed decision making.
Before entering the ecommerce space, Rush built a successful career in the music industry as a Juno Award-winning and Billboard #1 producer. That experience shaped his approach to pattern recognition, creativity, and performance optimization—principles he later applied to building advanced product discovery systems like Nexus AI.
Today, Rush focuses on redefining how ecommerce businesses are built by leading the shift from traditional dropshipping to AI-driven commerce. Through Sell The Trend, he empowers entrepreneurs to identify trends early, validate products faster, and scale with automation instead of manual trial and error.
