About Canal
Canal is building the future of commerce.
We created Canal to change the way that people discover and brands sell physical products online. We believe that consumers should be able to buy anything, at any point, anywhere on the internet. Behind the scenes, this is a network of deep integrations across e-commerce platforms combined with a web app that connects consumer brands to people and places to sell their products.
In tandem, our Talent Commerce team is reinventing Creator Commerce as the direct selling of products to a creator’s audience. Canal helps creators bring together the businesses they've built and the products they love so fans can shop their world directly on their own platforms.
What We Believe
Our core beliefs guide everything we build:
The future of shopping is online and powered by trust.
The best brands and products deserve more distribution.
The need to hold inventory has unnecessarily limited the growth of e-commerce.
It shouldn't be so hard for shoppers to find quality products at the right time.
If a platform or individual can inspire product sales by making trusted recommendations, they deserve to monetize this influence.
The Team
We have built a team of the top minds in tech, who get excited about building the future of commerce and scaling it to millions of users. We're backed by Forerunner, a16z, BoxGroup, PrimeSet, and a formidable panel of angels.
