Sumer

Seed Round in 2022
Sumer builds technology for micro small businesses. We enable businesses to grow sales and improve their management with simple features. Our first goal is to enable businesses go digital with our “15 second store”: Via Sumer App, any business can create a digital store rapidly, upload a catalogue of the products and share it with clients. Thus, we leverage on the mobile penetration in LatAm and simplify the cumbersome experience of having an online store. We have a Digital Ledger and an Ads tool to allow business reach new audiences. From there we are working on adding features (centered in Customer Service, Payments, Financing) that will complement the operating system we will put on every entrepreneur’s hand.
