Transform Your Website into a Marketplace with ShipTurtle
What We Do
ShipTurtle is a powerful SaaS platform that empowers users to create their own marketplaces, similar to Amazon, Airbnb, Uber, or Fiverr. Designed as an extension for website platforms like Shopify, Shipturtle seamlessly integrates to provide dedicated dashboards for sellers and suppliers. The app streamlines key processes such as onboarding, catalog management, order processing, and payouts, making it a comprehensive solution for managing multi-vendor marketplaces.
How It All Began
I co founded www.mybageecha.com, a popular gardening marketplace in India. Scaling up vendors on the platform needed a robust solution which gave the idea of Shipturtle.
What Makes us Tick
Shipturtle is helping realize the dreams of thousands of entrepreneurs who want to build a marketplace and were held back by the prohibitive costs of building the tech stack. What needed at least $100,000 to build is now available at <$5000 annual cost.
This has led to an explosion of businesses focused on communities, sustainability, better supply discoverability and a huge reduction in CAC for D2C brands specifically.
Traction So Far
Founded in 2021, we achieved a PMF fit very quickly and are currently on a 1-10 journey backed by marque investors. We work with over 1000 marketplaces today and witnessing a diverse clientele in 50+ countries.
Many of our clients have gone on to raise significant funding and scale. We process over 20,000 orders per day.
Meet the Team
We have a pretty young team of go getters who were enthusiastic about building a world class SaaS company out of Ahmedabad. The work is fast and furious, with lots of fun baked in. We love to unwind every other weekend with a game of Mafia or cricket.
While a large majority is tech, we are developing strong capabilities in Product, GTM and Content.
Tapping Into Emerging Trends
We are excited that the D2C world is increasingly getting connected with many of them wanting to partner. Also the startup world is booming like never before and many aspiring entrepreneurs are looking to build sustainable and curated options to incumbent giants.
Challenges We’ve Overcome
As a founder, it’s been a pretty incredible journey and feels like a roller coaster ride (never-ending). Iv navigated super tough challenges in building a tech product as a non-tech solo founder, bootstrapping the company for many years and struggling to achieve GTM fit – often at the expense of work-life balance.
I am currently on a learning journey to build high-performing and happy teams, after receiving concerning feedback from many members around goal setting, stress, and burnout.
My other learning is to constantly challenge the speed at which we grow and remove walls that tend to have us “settle”.
Where We're Headed
To help scale at least 100 marketplaces over a $10 million mark in the next 2 years.
