At Purple Dot, our vision for e-commerce is simple: Everything that gets made, gets sold.
Nearly 1 in 4 products is never sold — leading to major losses and massive waste within the industry. We believe this problem exists because of lack of control and flexibility over when brands can sell — with long, fixed timelines where brands have to wait until stock is at the warehouse to start selling. It’s time for a radical shift in how e-commerce operates.
Purple Dot is pioneering the pre-commerce category : 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.
Trusted by over 100 leading brands including Mattel, McLaren, New Era, Limited Run Games , and Oh Polly , we process millions in pre-orders every month and are proudly leading the category out front . Backed by top investors like OpenOcean, Connect, and Unusual Ventures , we’re a 22-person team based in NYC, Charlotte, and London — and led by second-time founders with a track record of acquisition.
