What's the endgame? ONEbasket is building a platform that gathers shoppers' product ideas and buying intentions in one place, rather than leaving them scattered across tabs, apps, bookmarks, and screenshots. For merchants, it pitches itself as a bridge rather than a rival — a new channel for customer acquisition built on capturing real buying intent instead of push marketing.
What's the money for? The capital will fund product development and improvements to the platform's functionality and interface. The focus now is preparing for launch and signing the first strategic partners.
Why now? The company says industry interest is already clear, with talks underway with several established Swedish e-commerce players. "We want the right partners with us from an early stage," said founder and chief executive officer Marie Bjerkevall Lundin (translated from Swedish).
The idea grew from Bjerkevall Lundin's own frustration with fragmented online shopping. "I constantly found products I liked, but they always ended up scattered," she said. She added that the goal is to give consumers "a calmer and more considered way to explore products and decide when it's the right time to buy."
