About Opply

After becoming one of the fastest growing VC-backed startups in Europe, we've now expanded to the US, and looking to offer huge opportunities for progression in our early team here - Now we need extraordinary minds with a strong ownership mindset who want to join us on our mission!

There are currently 1 million SMB consumer goods brands ordering over $1Trillion of raw ingredients per year - imagine this was all ordered on one platform.

These brands all order separately today, and have small teams/order volumes which results in them wasting 70% stock, and getting ingredients at a 40% higher price than market rate.

Opply automates the entire ingredient ordering process through:
1) Partnering with the world's biggest suppliers, giving SMB's access to their pricing through an AI matching and forecasting proprietary model
2) AI self learning platform that orders the ingredients when and where you need them
3) Data-led credit that allows brands to sell their goods before they pay for the ingredients

We work with a lot of the most exciting brands and suppliers in this space, and are shaping innovation in a world that didn't have this before, if you're a trailblazer, come join us!
