Meet the Team Behind Keel

Operators who built world-class systems and are now building yours.

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, they built the custom procurement, operations, and fulfilment software that powered the shipment of 50,000 medicines to 600,000 customers daily and grew the business to $130 million in annual revenue. They experienced first-hand how legacy software failed to scale and how off-the-shelf tools couldn't meet the demands of a highly regulated, fast-moving operation. That experience became Keel: the platform they wished had existed. Backed by $6 million in seed funding from Earlybird and LocalGlobe, Keel is now empowering operators everywhere with flexible, powerful procurement and operations tools they truly own.
