Company
Zentail
Ecommerce simplified by connecting brands to sales channels
We built a platform that automates listing ecommerce products across multiple marketplaces. Instead of manually formatting product details to meet each channel's quirks, our ecommerce network does the heavy lifting so brands can add new sales channels as easily as adding a friend on Facebook.
We live and work in Columbia, MD, and plan to base the company here after YC as well.
Columbia is where we're all based and building the product. Staying here keeps the team close and focused without distractions from relocating.
