The Team Behind Keel

Operators who built world-class systems and want every business to have the same advantage.

Keel was founded in 2021 by three former executives from Echo—Europe's fastest-growing online pharmacy, later acquired by Pharmacy2U. As CEO, CTO, and CPO, they built the custom software that powered the shipping of 50,000 medicines to 600,000 customers daily, scaling Echo to $130m in annual revenue. When they saw how painfully inflexible off-the-shelf tools were in a highly regulated environment, they built the solution they wished had existed. In 2024, Keel raised $6m in seed funding from Earlybird and LocalGlobe, reinforcing the mission: empowering operators everywhere—from startups to scaling businesses—with flexible, powerful software they truly own and can grow with.
