Airhouse is an end-to-end fulfillment solution for ecommerce companies. From shipping orders to managing inventory, we automate the heavy lifting of getting products in the hands of customers, letting entrepreneurs focus on what they’re best at.
It’s been about two years since we shut down Shyp. Shortly before we wound the business down, we spotted an interesting trend: small businesses were leveraging our pickup feature, fleet of couriers, and regional warehouses to effectively hack their way through fulfillment. The product was in no way intended for that. But seeing a clear demand for it got Sarah (who was leading marketing at Shyp at the time) and I thinking about an opportunity for streamlined fulfillment for ecommerce companies.
The ecommerce growth of the last two decades has brought us to a fulfillment tipping point. Entrepreneurs are able to reach potential customers through channels that didn’t used to exist. Consumer product companies no longer need to sell into buyers or attend trade shows to market their products. But as digital tools have emerged to run nearly every aspect of a consumer product business, the mechanisms for how those products get to customers have stayed behind. The traditional fulfillment format does not apply to modern businesses, so, we thought, isn’t time for one that does?
The @kevingibbon and Sarah are building an incredible platform that unlocks tremendous value for ecommerce companies and brands by removing all the fulfillment friction. We are thrilled to be a part of their journey at Trajectory Capital!
