Max Retail operates a marketplace that connects independent retailers and brands with a global network of online marketplace partners to sell excess inventory. Led by CEO Melodie van der Baan, the company enables small retail businesses to become fulfillment partners for major online retailers, reaching over 400 million consumers. The platform is designed to help retailers maximize cash recuperation by matching unsold inventory supply to global demand and providing SKU-level visibility. Over the last twelve months Max Retail increased seller payouts threefold and grew gross merchandise value sold through the marketplace fourfold year‑over‑year; 89% of active sellers sold inventory every month of Q1. The company plans to use new funding to more than double its sellers—focusing on specialty retailers and brands—and to introduce innovations including an AI-powered pricing and allocating engine and SKU-level insights. It intends to expand its sales channel network and broaden the excess-inventory solution to support the full product lifecycle and improve inventory turns for independent retailers.
