Built By Operators, For Operators

Meet the team that understands procurement complexity from the inside.

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 and operated custom software that shipped 50,000 medicines to 600,000 customers daily, scaling the business to $130 million in annual revenue. They experienced first-hand how off-the-shelf procurement and operations tools failed under real operational pressure: inflexible, slow to adapt, and impossible to own. So they built the solution they wished had existed. In 2024, Keel raised $6 million in seed funding from Earlybird and LocalGlobe. Today, Keel empowers operations teams across industries to own, control, and continuously evolve the software that runs their business—starting with the supplier management workflows that sit at the heart of every supply chain.
