Operator-Led Expertise

Founded by operators who built software scaling to $130m revenue — Keel solves operational complexity with real-world insight, not theoretical consulting.

Built by Operators, for Operators

Meet the team that built Keel to solve the problems they lived firsthand.

Keel was founded in 2021 by three former executives — CEO, CTO, and CPO — from Echo, Europe's fastest-growing online pharmacy, later acquired by Pharmacy2U. At Echo, the team built custom operations software that shipped 50,000 medicines to 600,000 customers daily, scaling the business to $130m in annual revenue. They experienced first-hand how inflexible legacy systems created a ceiling on growth, so they built the platform they wished had existed. In 2024, Keel raised $6m in seed funding from Earlybird and LocalGlobe, and continues to empower operators everywhere with agile, custom-built software they truly own and can evolve without waiting on external development teams.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is agile software development?

Agile software development is an iterative approach to building software that prioritises collaboration, flexibility, and continuous delivery. Rather than delivering a finished product after months of planning, agile teams work in short sprints — typically 1–4 weeks — shipping working software continuously. This allows requirements to evolve based on real feedback, reducing risk and ensuring the final product closely matches actual business needs.
