Our take
Blackcart is tackling one of the key challenges with online shopping - an inability to try on or test out the merchandise before making a purchase. The company has built a try-before-you-buy platform that integrates with e-commerce storefronts, allowing customers to ship items to their homes for free and only paying if they choose to keep the item after a “try on” period has lapsed.
In 2021, Blackcart was valued at $50 million (CAD) and has been adopted by more than 50 medium-to-large retailers, as well as e-commerce startups such as Koio, Dia&Co and Helix Sleep.
The company is hiring more talent across engineering, product, customer support and sales, and aims to add more consumer-facing features to the platform, like on-demand returns, in the future.
