Company mission
We believe that over the next few years, most purchases that you make will not be on the brand's dot com website! This is because shopping is becoming contextual as we increasingly discover products on social media, publisher websites, and other third-party platforms. Our mission is to create shopping experiences of the future which are optimised for these points of discovery and, ultimately, revolutionise the way people shop and interact with their favourite brands.
Our take
Flash is building a new e-commerce platform that makes shopping at the point of discovery seamless, aiming to improving the checkout experience for consumers. Their primary customers are ambitious and innovative direct-to-consumer brands that care about providing the very best customer experience. But their checkout technology will also end up in the hands of consumers that interact with and purchase products from these brands.
In October 2021, Flash raised EUR 500k in pre-seed funding from Flash Ventures and have ambitious plans to grow the business.
