No, you can’t make any purchases directly on Marmalade. Instead you’ll be directed right to a brand’s website to buy any product.

Our superfans are hungry to discover and share small, online brands. If that sounds like you, simply fill out our application here and our team will get back to you.

Public Benefit Companies (PBC) are a relatively new concept in the US. They enable a for-profit company to explicitly state in its charter the public benefit they provide. Kickstarter, a PBC we admire, described their corporate structure as “representing a radical change in the way we could do business” which enabled them to “escape the extractive doctrine of shareholder primacy that compels nearly all companies to pursue profit above all else, including their own mission.”

As a team, we no longer wanted to go to work, let alone start a company, where our time and energy would contribute solely to profit without purpose. Instead, we put our societal mission directly in our legal charter to remind ourselves of why we exist as a company: to boost underserved entrepreneurs while empowering consumers to discover and benefit from a more diverse selection of products and services. Marmalade will always support, serve, and champion makers passionate about their craft, inventors, innovators, artisans, and family-owned businesses.
