ABOUT BLACKCURVE

BlackCurve is a fast-moving London-based SaaS pricing optimisation platform that helps high-profile online and offline retailers make smarter pricing decisions.

We’re on a mission to help retailers manage and optimise the price of every item they sell to achieve their business goals.


ABOUT THE TEAM

Many retail businesses still manage their pricing on Excel, and rely on traditional pricing techniques that do not maximise profit opportunities. This presents a fantastic opportunity for us to help more retail businesses grow.

The company has gone onto raise £2 million from leading venture capital firms such as Mercia Fund Managers, Nauta Capital and prominent angel investors.
