Slice is a Palo Alto–based technology company that turns the digital receipts found in a consumer’s email inbox into actionable shopping tools. Its flagship app automatically organizes purchases, stores receipts, tracks packages across multiple carriers, and notifies users about price-adjustment opportunities. The platform also exposes a set of APIs that partners can integrate to personalize shopping experiences or embed package-tracking features, an approach already employed by TheFind in its iPad and web applications. Beyond core purchase management, the company recently launched Slice Bookshelf, which synchronizes with a user’s inbox to catalogue past book purchases and enable social discovery and sharing. Slice’s strategy centers on leveraging purchase data to create new consumer services and third-party integrations. Financially, the firm has just closed a $23 million funding round led by Rakuten with additional participation from Siguler Guff’s Russia Partners, NPD Group, and prior backers DCM, Innovation Endeavors, and Lightspeed Venture Partners.
