OUR STORY
The Birth of UpStart Commerce
Driven by a Vision to Simplify Retail
Why was UpStart Commerce founded?
We were fed up with platforms telling us no or charging us more for every little request we had. Our founders got together and asked the question of whether we can do better than big commerce platforms. The answer was “Yes,” and that’s how UpStart Commerce evolved into what it is today. Our goal was simple: to streamline, simplify, and provide a single point for all retail needs. We envisioned creating a data-intensive platform that could save our consumers time, money, and increase their bottom line. We launched our first product in 2020.
