Built by Operations Experts

Founded by operators who built inventory systems processing 50,000 medicines daily — they understand real-world operational complexity firsthand.

The Team Behind Keel

Operators who've built and scaled complex inventory systems from the ground up.

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 to run operations shipping 50,000 medicines to 600,000 customers daily, growing the business to $130 million annual revenue. Based in Altrincham, Cheshire, they built Keel because they experienced first-hand how legacy stock control and operations software couldn't scale at the speed a fast-growing UK business demands. In 2024, Keel raised $6 million in seed funding from leading European investors Earlybird and LocalGlobe. Today, Keel empowers UK operators and beyond with flexible, powerful operations software they truly own.
