Company mission
To enable small businesses to compete with today's large retailers by transforming the way in which they operate through technology and modernization, empowering independent retailers to do their best work and better serve their neighbourhood communities.
Our take
CornerUp is a marketplace startup that has emerged as a key player in transforming the operations of small food retailers. It provides independent convenience stores and bodegas with the technological solutions they need in order to compete effectively against larger retailers.
The platform serves as a unified hub for corner stores and small food retailers to streamline their inventory management and procurement processes. With up-to-date technology usually unaffordable for small business and a clean user interface, tt simplifies the discovery and purchasing of inventory. Ultimately it improves the efficiency and profitability of corner shops, improving their ability to better cater to their local communities.
The company has received funding from the Partnership Fund for New York City, a testament to the positive impact its platform is having for the city's businesses. Going far beyond inventory management, CornerUp fosters an environment where small businesses thrive as vibrant contributors to their neighbourhoods.
