GigaCloud’s Founder and CEO Larry Wu Gives Guest Lecture at Yale SOM
EL MONTE, Calif., February 25, 2026 — GigaCloud Technology Inc (Nasdaq: GCT) (“GigaCloud” or the “Company”), a trailblazer in global end-to-end B2B tech solutions for large-parcel goods, today announced that Yale School of Management faculty have developed a case study examining the Company’s B2B marketplace operational model for academic use.
Entitled “GigaCloud: Transforming an Online Retailer,” the case was crafted for educational use in MBA and executive education programs. It delves into the strategic and operational factors involved in the Company’s shift from a B2C-focused retailer to a B2B marketplace platform serving the large-parcel sector.
Written by Sang Kim (Professor of Operations Management and Senior Associate Dean for Centers and Executive Programs at Yale SOM), Jaan Elias (Director of Case Research at Yale SOM), and Alex Xu (MBA ’26), the case analyzes elements like inventory placement, centralized warehousing infrastructure, marketplace-service integration, and decision-making amid market uncertainty. It is designed to spark academic discussions around business model adaptation, platform economics, and global supply chain management.
The case was introduced in the classroom on February 25. Larry Wu, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of GigaCloud and a Yale MBA alumnus (Class of 2002), joined the session and engaged with students in a Q&A discussion following the case analysis.
“We are pleased that our Company’s experience can contribute to academic dialogue,” said Wu. “Management decisions are often shaped by trade-offs and uncertainty, and we appreciate the opportunity to have those decisions examined in a classroom setting.”
This case study was prepared exclusively for academic purposes and does not constitute an endorsement of the Company, its products, or its practices by Yale University or the Yale School of Management. The case study shall not be considered as disclosure by the Company and does not contain material non‑public information.
