Handshake is an AI-native platform designed to centralise and manage commercial agreements between retailers, wholesalers, and suppliers, replacing spreadsheets and siloed systems. The company cites industry friction—such as fewer than 50% of suppliers having written agreements—and the $18.8 trillion scale of retail as drivers of demand for its product. Handshake lists customers including Gopuff and says its platform offers visibility, structure, and accountability for large trading teams. The company plans to use the $3.2 million raise to speed product development, grow engineering and customer success headcount, and deepen retailer and supplier partnerships. Founded in 2024 and headquartered in London, Handshake is backed by Triple Point Ventures, Future Back Ventures by Bain & Company, and Octopus Ventures.
