Spocket operates a dropshipping marketplace that handles inventory and on-demand shipping for small online retailers. Its marketplace connects more than 15,000 retailer customers who sell clothing, home decor, and other products without holding inventory. The startup plans to expand into social media e-commerce by building integrations so retailers can sell directly to Instagram and Pinterest followers. With the recent $1.2M raise, Spocket intends to double its team from seven to 14 to support growth. In the past year the company has raised a little over $2 million in total. Spocket graduated from the Techstars Seattle accelerator and is based in Vancouver, B.C.; CEO Saba Mohebpour emphasizes the platform's low up-front cost for entrepreneurs.
