Livestream selling is moving from niche hobby to viable retail channel, with sellers broadcasting from brick-and-mortar stores and warehouses to monetize slow hours.

Analysis:

Live commerce is proven in Asia but US adoption is still early. Infrastructure plays (multi-platform broadcasting, inventory sync during livestreams) are interesting but the market may take longer to develop than VC timelines allow.
