What are we looking for?
Our mission is to develop a global digital commerce ecosystem, and we are looking for solutions built by challenge-oriented professionals who are bold enough to take risks, question the status quo, and try out new possibilities. Diversity and authenticity are also very important aspects, as we believe that everyone should have the freedom to be who they really are.
The startups and partner solutions must be up to 60 months old and have at least an MVP. Professionals must have strong analytical skills, knowledge of technology, and be passionate about digital and global commerce.
