Weengs in a nutshell

We bring the best of ecommerce logistics to small businesses so they compete with the big boys without the big overheads.

Were the definition of a fast-growing early-stage startup. We started 3 years ago as two guys in a flat, shipped 6,000 boxes without getting kicked out, running operations during day and coding at night. Weve since raised a big seed round from top-tier investors and moved to a funky warehouse. Next stop? The world (via series A of course).

Here’s what bugs us

Small businesses bring great products to the market which sell fast. That’s awesome. But they struggle to scale their operations to keep up with order fulfilment which puts a cap on their growth. That sucks.

We’ve built a service that lets independent retailers do what they do best - sell. This way, they don’t have to worry about orders getting to their customers and can just focus on growing their business.

We need the best talent out there. Is it you?

With an over 800% growth in the last year - were changing things fast.

We are a young and easygoing, no-nonsense company, with a team of over 50 very diverse (some a bit crazy) ladies and gents from all over the world, backed by some top European VC and we are looking for new people to join this exciting adventure.
