The Team Behind Keel

Experienced operators and engineers building the tools they wished existed.

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 at Echo, the founders built custom software systems that shipped 50,000 medicines to 600,000 customers daily and scaled the business to $130m in annual revenue. They experienced first-hand how inflexible legacy software stalls growth, so they built the platform they wished had existed. Since founding Keel, the team has raised $6m in seed funding from leading European investors Earlybird and LocalGlobe, and is on a mission to empower operators everywhere with powerful, flexible tools they truly own—without resorting to archaic ERPs.
