For a decade, we've been on a mission to fix one of commerce's fundamental challenges: trust. In a world where distance and digital interfaces separate buyers and sellers, we're building the bridge of confidence that enables global trade to flourish.

Our Purpose & Vision

We're driven by a bold vision: a world trading with confidence. Through our "Trust Gap Zero" mission, we're systematically eliminating the uncertainty between merchants and consumers, empowering businesses to scale while maintaining the confidence of their customers.

  • Global Scale: More than 450,000 shops across 140+ countries use our platform to build trust with their customers
  • Massive Reach: We process over 70 million orders monthly, generating 2 million+ verified buyer reviews that help consumers make confident decisions

Our Global Presence

Why Now Matters

After 10 years of bootstrapped, profitable growth, we're not just participating in the transformation of the customer reviews space - we're leading it. Every verified review we generate is another step toward our vision of universal trust in commerce.
