lōcal is building the infrastructure layer that makes every local retailer discoverable, shippable, and competitive in the AI age — starting with the United States, built for the world.
"We are not building a shopping app. We are building the infrastructure that lets any retailer — anywhere in the world — sell to anyone, anywhere, today."
lōcal is the search engine for real-time local inventory. 3,500+ retail partners already connected. Consumers search "Nike size 10 near me" and see who has it, in stock, right now — not ads, not Amazon, not guesswork.
Three fulfillment modes, one platform. Same-day courier for local delivery. Standard shipping when the store is farther out. Global shipping so a boutique in Chicago can sell to someone in Tokyo. Every retailer, worldwide reach.
AI-powered tools that give independent retailers capabilities only Amazon had before. Demand forecasting. Trend alerts. Competitive signals. Automated pricing. The AI age shouldn't leave small business behind. lōcal makes sure it doesn't.
When someone asks ChatGPT, Siri, or Google AI "where can I get Nike size 10 near me right now" — there is no good answer. That data doesn't exist in a structured, real-time way anywhere.
lōcal becomes that index. We don't just power our own search — we license local inventory data to every AI platform that wants to answer local commerce questions. That's a data business worth multiples of the consumer app.
It doesn't matter if the store is four blocks away or four states away. We handle the fulfillment. Every retailer in our network can sell to anyone in the world — without hiring a logistics team.
Product found nearby. Courier dispatched within minutes. Customer receives it in under two hours. No planning required.
Store is in another city? We arrange shipping. The retailer packs it. We handle the rest. 1–3 days, nationwide.
A boutique in Austin. A customer in London. lōcal connects them. 35 million local retailers suddenly have a global storefront. That's the mission.
Once the infrastructure works in the U.S. — the retailer onboarding, the inventory index, the fulfillment network, the AI layer — it works everywhere. Every country has the same problem. No platform has solved local retail discovery globally. We will.
3,500+ retailers. Pilot markets live. Series B funds national expansion across all 50 states.
Same infrastructure. Same AI layer. New market. Independent retail is even more culturally embedded in Europe than the U.S.
The largest retail markets in the world. Japan, South Korea, Australia. Local retail culture at massive scale.
Any retailer anywhere selling to any customer anywhere. The commerce operating system for the planet.
"We are not focused on profitability right now. We are focused on planting seeds in businesses that will be very large and will matter to customers and will be meaningful to our company."
We are raising $30M in Series B to scale nationally and begin global expansion. We have the network. We have the technology. We have the traction. We are looking for partners who think in decades, not quarters.
