Building Katavio | B2B Commerce SaaS

About

20+ years in technology and e-commerce. My latest adventure? Turning a surf shop hobby into a B2B SaaS startup. While building an online surf & skate store, I discovered a problem I couldn’t ignore: independent retailers struggle to expand their online catalogues, while their suppliers have thousands of products they’d love to sell. That’s how Katavio was born. I’m now building a platform to bridge that gap, learning a tremendous amount along the way, especially about the opportunities (and headaches!) of building software with AI. Here to connect with fellow founders, exchange experiences, share the wins and failures, and enjoy the entrepreneurial journey!
