The Team Behind Keel

Operators who built enterprise-scale software and then made it accessible to everyone.

Keel was founded in 2021 by three former executives from Echo, Europe's fastest-growing online pharmacy, later acquired by Pharmacy2U. At Echo, they built custom software that shipped 50,000 medicines to 600,000 customers daily, growing the business to $130 million in annual revenue. They experienced first-hand how legacy software couldn't scale at the speed a fast-moving operation demands—so they built the solution they wished had existed. Today, Keel serves ambitious businesses across the UK, including operations teams in Glasgow and beyond, helping them replace rigid off-the-shelf tools with flexible, powerful software they truly own. In 2024, Keel raised $6 million in seed funding from Earlybird and LocalGlobe, backing the mission to empower operators everywhere.
