Helsinki headquartered e-commerce startup Starcart brings AI powered shopping to Swedish shoppers — Retail Technology Innovation Hub

Must read

“The most advanced e-commerce platforms are outshined by the simplicity and convenience of Starcart – for us and the customer,” says Eric Letkow from Proshop, one of Starcart’s merchant partners.

“With Starcart, we have full transparency, no technical integration and a new favourite sales channel. It is such a surprise that we now wonder why it can’t always be like this.”

Starcart has recently received an EU-wide Payment Institution licence from the Finnish Financial Regulatory Authority, or FIN-FSA.

Following its launch in Sweden, this allows it to continue its expansion across Europe, bringing its solution to all 30 EU and EEC markets. The company reports a recent 3.5 million euro seed funding led by Inventure in 2023, and 15 million products currently available from over 200 online stores.
