## About Levanta

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Levanta is a unified creator and affiliate marketing platform that enables e-commerce brands to manage partnerships across Amazon, Shopify, and Walmart from a single system.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: Seattle, Washington, United States
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Ian Brodie (CEO & Co-Founder), Spencer McKenney (CTO & Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- Primary industry/industries: E-commerce technology, affiliate marketing, creator economy
- Target customers: B2B (e-commerce brands, marketplace sellers, and agencies) and B2C (creators, influencers, and affiliates)
- Mission or purpose statement: Building the future of creative-driven commerce for modern brands by unlocking affiliate and creator partnerships as a competitive advantage.

## Products & Services
- **Levanta Platform**: A unified SaaS platform for e-commerce brands to discover, manage, and pay creators and affiliates. It connects Shopify, Amazon, and Walmart channels in one dashboard, offering AI-powered creator discovery via the Creator Marketplace (70,000+ vetted publishers, influencers, affiliates, and media buyers), commission management, flat-frate creator deals, automated product seeding, and cross-channel performance measurement.
- **Creator Marketplace**: A network of over 70,000 vetted creators, influencers, affiliates, and media buyers that brands can discover and activate across channels.
- **Creator/Affiliate Tools**: A free-to-join side for creators and affiliates to discover brands, set flexible earning models (commission, flat fee), and earn incremental revenue on Amazon, Shopify, and Walmart with automated payments.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric – Total Funding**: $21.4 million across 3 rounds
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Volition Capital (led Series A), LongRun Capital (led Seed Round). Strategic partners include Amazon, Shopify, and Walmart ecosystems.
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew **82.7% YoY** to 73 employees. Active creators on platform: **2,200+**. Reports **96% of customers are new-to-brand** and over **$1M+ in affiliate-related revenue** generated in the first few months for some clients. Maintains a 6% net commission rate for brands. Active job postings are up **300% year-over-year** (4 open roles as of mid-2025). Key new hires include talent from Amazon, Qualtrics, impact.com, and Refersion.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Cross-Channel Unification**: Only platform that allows brands to run one affiliate program across Amazon, Shopify, and Walmart from a single dashboard, eliminating siloed management.
- **High Quality, Vetted Network**: Access to a pre-vetted marketplace of 70,000+ creators, removing much of the discovery and fraud risk inherent in traditional affiliate marketing.
- **New-to-Brand Customer Acquisition**: Emphasizes driving high-converting, new-to-brand traffic rather than coupon-stacking or existing customer re-targeting. A reported 96% of sales are new-to-brand.
- **Flexible Partnership Models**: Supports multiple compensation models (commission, flat fee, product seeding) within one platform, giving brands granular control.
- **Performance-First Data**: Provides affiliate-level attribution and performance data specifically for multi-channel sellers, an area where most tools are weak.

## Strategic Focus
- **Rapidly Scaling the Creator Network**: Expanding the Marketplace to cover more verticals and geographies, including a specific focus on the Chinese market (active Business Development role in Shenzhen).
- **Deepening Multi-Platform Integration**: Likely expanding integrations beyond core three marketplaces to capture more D2C and retail media spend.
- **AI-Powered Automation and Insights**: The platform leverages AI for creator discovery and is actively testing AI tools (like Claude) internally for automating marketing tasks, suggesting a product roadmap focused on AI-driven optimization.
- **International Expansion**: Operating in 8 countries (US, North Macedonia, Argentina, China, Canada, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Egypt) and hiring for Asia-based Customer Success and BD roles.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: The company explicitly promotes a "Life Comes First" philosophy, emphasizing smart work, personal freedom, and balance. Values include trust, accountability, collaboration, and intentionality.
- **Remote/Hybrid Policy**: Offices in Seattle (HQ) and Shenzhen, China. The company describes itself as "In-Office or Remote" but requires employees in the US to have a permanent address in one of eight hub states (California, Florida, New York, Ohio, Utah, Texas, Michigan, or Washington) for payroll/legal purposes.
- **Perks**: Competitive salary and benefits, open vacation and sick policy ("take the time you need"), and a focus on growth and advancement in a fast-paced startup. The engineering team is small but growing (11 employees or 12% of workforce). The company actively uses and builds with AI, offering early-stage exposure to AI/ML in a commercial setting (e.g., using Claude for internal tasks).
- **Growth Trajectory**: A post-Series A startup with explosive headcount growth (82% YoY), providing significant opportunity for career acceleration, cross-functional exposure, and taking on increasing ownership as the company scales.
