Who we are
Qogita [Ko-gi-ta] is on a mission to make global trade radically efficient by building the operating system for modern wholesale.

Wholesale is a €50 trillion market still largely run through phone calls, catalogues and trade shows. Behind every product sits a fragmented chain of sourcing, trading and logistics that makes wholesale slower, more complex and expensive than it should be.

Qogita is changing this by connecting the global market into a single order book, building the rails to move products across borders efficiently, and providing the intelligence to help businesses know what to stock, what it’s worth and where it should go.

We operate across health and beauty in 30+ European markets, with ambitions to reach every category, everywhere. Backed by Accel, Bessemer, Dawn and LocalGlobe, we’re one of Europe’s fastest-growing B2B companies.

We’re an ambitious, pragmatic and highly collaborative team, united by a desire to reshape one of the world’s biggest markets.

The role

As a Founder in Residence at Qogita, you will join the New Ventures team, the team charged with finding our next moonshot. The team operates at the frontier of what Qogita could become, continuously exploring opportunities across new geographies, product categories, and software verticals.

Your mission is to take high-conviction bets from zero to one, owning the full arc from market identification through to first commercial traction, within a 6-12 month window.

About Qogita
