Starcart provides an AI-powered shopping platform that lets consumers buy products from multiple stores using a single shopping cart and automatically completes purchases. The platform searches over 15 million products from more than 130 stores to find best prices, availability and shipping times. Led by founder and CEO Pasi Ilola, the company uses AI to streamline shopping and plans to expand its catalog and merchant integrations. Starcart intends to add hundreds of new stores to the platform and to launch in multiple new European markets in 2024. The company also plans product extensions to support sustainable shopping — adding second-hand stores and recommending sustainable products and shipping options. Its fundraising includes a R&D loan component from Business Finland that supports development efforts. Starcart, founded in 2021 in Helsinki, operates a consumer-facing platform that automatically selects online stores offering the cheapest and fastest order times and completes purchases on behalf of users. The service gives shoppers one shopping cart and one payment for products from multiple stores. Starcart says this end-to-end approach makes online buying easier by removing the need to search, compare prices, and place orders across many sites. The company plans to consolidate operations in Finland in the near term. Later next year, Starcart is eyeing expansion across Europe. The startup recently raised funding to support these plans and product development.
