🟣 About Us
At Purple Dot, our vision for e-commerce is simple: Everything that gets made, gets sold.
For decades, brands have waited for stock to arrive at the warehouse before selling online. The result? Nearly 1 in 4 products produced is never sold — leading to major losses and massive waste. We believe it’s time for a radical shift in how e-commerce operates.
Purple Dot is pioneering the pre-commerce movement: helping brands sell earlier — before inventory arrives — to increase sell-through, reduce waste, and drive profitability. Whether stock is 1 day or 1 year away, our platform enables smarter, faster sales that reduce risk and unlock new growth.
We’re trusted by leading brands including Mattel, McLaren, New Era, Limited Run Games, and Oh Polly, and we process millions in pre-orders every month. Backed by top investors like OpenOcean, Connect, Unusual, and Moxxie Ventures, we’re a 22-person team based in NYC, Charlotte, and London — led by second-time founders with a track record of acquisition.

What We Do
For decades, brands have waited for stock to arrive at the warehouse to sell it online. But this waiting isn’t going well: nearly 1 in 4 products produced is never sold. Despite efforts across the industry to increase sell-through once stock arrives, e-commerce requires a radical rebuild to create long-term business sustainability as well as for our planet. This is a $100s billion opportunity. That’s why at Purple Dot, we believe the next 10 years of e-commerce innovation will happen before stock arrives at the warehouse. We see a world where some, or even most, stock is sold before it arrives, constantly reducing inventory risk and waste. Whether it’s 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, or 1 year away, Purple Dot helps brands sell more and store less by selling earlier. Our pre-commerce solution is proudly trusted by hundreds of brands across every industry including Mattel, McLaren, New Era, Limited Run Games and Knockaround, processing millions of dollars per month in transactions.
Why Work With Us
We are a team of 22 with offices in London (UK), Charlotte (NC, USA) and New York City (NY, USA). We are backed by leading investors and led by 2nd time founders with a previously acquired start-up. We're looking for a person that resonates with our work values (bit.ly/purpledot_culture) and wants to help make eCommerce less wasteful.
