Purple Dot

At Purple Dot, we are on a mission to create a world where, ultimately, every product that is manufactured is sold. The current e-commerce model leaves brands waiting for stock to arrive at the warehouse before they can start selling, leading to missed sales opportunities, unsold inventory and waste. We believe the next wave of innovation will happen in the time before stock arrives, enabling brands to sell inventory no matter where it is in the world. Our pre-commerce platform puts the power back in brands’ hands, allowing them to take control of their sales timelines and maximise revenue potential. And we make pre-orders trustworthy for the shoppers too, keeping their money in escrow until items ship, and always up to date on where their pre-order is at, with an option to cancel no questions asked. We’ve raised a $10m Series A in 2024, we’ve plenty of runway left and we’re looking for help as we scale our platform through the next order of magnitude in terms of load on the system and ultimately the number of dollars we process. We are a team of 22 split evenly between the UK and US. 32% female, including the CEO. All of us have a mix of startup and big tech experience. For the founding team this is our second (so far :) successful startup.
