Business Operations

San Francisco

We’re transforming e-commerce by making it easy for brands to plug in with top-quality manufacturers around the world, leveraging cutting-edge AI technology to streamline and optimize every aspect of the process.

Shopify made it easy for brands to sell products, but getting those products made is painful. Join us as we build the world’s first AI product sourcing agent and usher in a new era of e-commerce — helping brands tap into the global manufacturing ecosystem and easily launch new products.

We’re a team of builders, operators, and investors from Stripe, Google, Amazon, Palantir, and Anduril. We’re well funded and have already built our core technology.
