As mentioned previously, I am advisor to a startup called Moltin which provides a simple yet powerful API for building eCommerce solutions in a variety of places. It has the potential to really change how we think of eCommerce transactions, making it easier, more discoverable, and more convenient for consumers, and more effective for organizations to sell products.

This week the team secured an $8million series A round by Underscore.VC and announced their new CEO, Jamus Driscoll.

I was offered an advisory role a little while back and agreed to to sign on for a few reasons. Firstly, Jamus delivered great results at DemandWare (and as EIN at Underscore.VC, when I first met him). Secondly, their founding team have a great product and community vision, and understand how to run a company. Thirdly, their Series A (and the original introduction) came from Underscore.VC, who I have a great relationship and enormous respect for. Finally, and critically, they are devoted to delivering a solid developer and community experience (which is primarily what I am advising them on). I am only interested in working with companies who want to deliver results, and Moltin are clearly formed into that mold.

Congratulations to the Moltin team. Looking forward to a fruitful 2018!
