We're on a mission to spotlight the entrepreneurs, artisans, inventors, and family businesses making the best stuff on the internet.
We created Marmalade to help smaller businesses reach wider audiences and land on the radars of shoppers who truly get that best things aren't always two-day shipped through Amazon.
We support Direct-to-Consumer (D2C)
When you find something you love on Marmalade, we take you directly to the brand’s website to complete your purchase.
As a discovery platform, and not a marketplace, we encourage exploring the diverse and wonderful online storefronts from small and independent brands.
We help boost brands you love, not brands that pay the most
Our co-founders Chris, Jimmy, and Steve spent many years in the world of data science, and realized that shopping small online was a total numbers game.
We’re living in a pay-to-play world, which means businesses who can afford to buy the most ads get the most storefront traffic.
We have so many close friends and family members who run small businesses, and figured that there had to be a better way to help them reach success.
After jamming together for some time, we began building Marmalade to uncover small brands you might vibe with but can be hard to find on mainstream platforms.
By using Marmalade, you’re helping to democratize the digital foot traffic to the folks who deserve it the most.
