Channel3 is building a database of every product on the internet. People have wanted to do this for decades, but it wasn’t possible until now – AI is finally smart enough to structure the world’s messy product data, and inexpensive enough to do so at scale.

Our vision: from in-store, to online, to AI-native

We believe agentic commerce is as important as in-store and online channels; that’s where “Channel3” comes from. We plan to become the central node of agentic commerce, powering every AI transaction and taking a cut of GMV. We see Channel3 becoming as foundational to AI commerce as Stripe is to payments or Plaid is to fintech.

The problem

Agentic commerce is bottlenecked by messy product data. (See “OpenAI’s Shopping Ambitions Hit Messy Data Reality”)

The opportunity

McKinsey estimates that “by 2030, the US B2C retail market alone could see up to $1 trillion in orchestrated revenue from agentic commerce, with global projections reaching as high as $3 trillion to $5 trillion.” That future is impossible without great product data.

What You'll Do

You'll own everything that isn't engineering. That means:

Sales & Customer Discovery

Identify new customer segments (payment platforms, retailers, AI labs, affiliate networks)
Map decision-makers at target companies and figure out how to reach them
Close deals with enterprise customers

Partnerships

Build relationships with payment providers, affiliate networks, and commerce platforms
Convince major retailers to distribute their catalogs through Channel3 (Walmart, TheRealReal, SSENSE, and more are live)
Negotiate integrations and commercial terms

Onboarding & Customer Success

Get brands live on the platform and ensure they see value
Manage relationships with large data customers
Turn early pilots into long-term contracts

Marketing & Developer Growth

Build our online presence (content, email, social, SEO/GEO)
Scale our API business
Balance enterprise and brand sales with bottoms-up developer adoption

Hiring

Source, screen, and close strong candidates as we scale the team
Help define roles and build out our hiring process

Operations

Handle the boring but essential stuff: accounting, taxes, compliance, vendor management
Keep the company running smoothly

You'll work directly with the founders on strategy, prioritization, and execution. This role will evolve as the company grows — you'll shape it based on what we need most.

Who We're Looking For

Ex-founders who've worn every hat and know how to get things done
Early startup operators who've built GTM motions from scratch
VCs or investors who understand markets, can pattern-match opportunities, and want to get back to building

You should be comfortable with ambiguity, excited to figure things out, and energized by high-leverage problems where the playbook doesn't exist yet.

Why join

The time is right. AI is finally smart enough to structure messy product data at scale, and agentic commerce creates massive demand for what we're building.
We're moving fast. 1,500+ developers on our API, pilots with major enterprises, thousands of brand partnerships, and millions of products processed daily.
We’re having fun. We work together (5 days a week) in a sunny office in Flatiron.
Direct ownership. You'll define our entire GTM strategy and build the operational foundation for a generational company.
Backed by the best. $6M seed from Matrix (Apple, Oculus, Afterpay), Ludlow (Honey, StockX), YC, Paul Graham, and scouts from a16z and Index.

To apply

Let us know one thing we can do better, and how you’d fix it.

We're excited to meet you.
