Creoate is building products and solutions in unconventional ways so that more entrepreneurs and small businesses owners can better run their businesses.

We help independent retailers buy sustainable and unique products from brands and wholesalers on a centralised platform, using artificial intelligence and predictive analytics to improve retailer forecast sales, manage inventory levels and get sustainable finance.

All we do is aimed at delivering more choice, better pricing, and more efficient logistics at a global scale for our customers. Our mission has been extensively covered in TechCrunch and Sifted (hottest investments shortlist), and we are led by a world-class team who have worked at or invested in high-growth cultures including Farfetch, Amazon, Vinted, Lyst, Groupon, and Deloitte.

We're currently a team of 55 strong, and growing fast across 7 different countries with hubs in the UK (London), Canada (Toronto) and Portugal (Lisbon). Having support from world-class VCs who have invested in Airbnb, Slack, Square, Checkout, and Job&Talent also means that we are now ready to meet ambitious leaders to help us shape the future.
