We're proudly announcing the closing of Uvodo's pre-seed round with a total of $500K investment which was funded by angel investors and co-founders’ re-investment.

Uvodo is founded by Taleh Karimli and Orkhan Hajiyev, serial entrepreneurs who previously founded Nextsale (acquired by AppHub in late 2021).

Uvodo is an easy-to-use eCommerce platform that includes integrated region-specific global payment gateways and built-in conversion & automation tools. Uvodo is an ideal solution for small and medium-sized businesses who sell their products locally or globally.

This funding will be utilized to further enhance the platform's capabilities, develop new features, and expand its reach in the competitive eCommerce market.

Funding round and investors expertise

The pre-seed round is led by MBA Club Investment Network with the participation of angel investors from Khazar Ventures, and re-investment by the co-founders.

Our investors are highly experienced individuals who bring over 20 years of expertise in entrepreneurship and the eCommerce industry who recognized the immense potential of Uvodo.

This pre-seed investment will be strategically allocated to further develop Uvodo ensuring that it aligns with the company's founding goals, missions, and visions.

Uvodo's mission, vision, and goal

At Uvodo, our vision is to build an eCommerce platform that is easy-to-use and highly profitable for retailers.

Our mission is to build the world’s easy-to-use eCommerce platform for small businesses that includes integrated region-specific & global payment gateways with built-in conversion & automation tools.

To achieve our mission and bring our vision to life, our goal at Uvodo is clear: to create a comprehensive eCommerce platform that includes native payment gateways and over a hundred essential tools for online sales. What sets us apart from competitors is that we are committed to offering this functionality without burdening merchants with commissions and hidden fees.

By providing a wide range of functionalities and capabilities within one platform, we empower businesses with the resources they need to succeed in eCommerce, ensuring simplicity, convenience, and profitability.

Current problems, our solution, and team’s background

Today’s eCommerce platforms that dominate the market often fail to provide a robust solution for businesses to succeed online.

Through our work with our previous eCommerce projects, including Nextsale which was a conversion optimization software for eCommerce stores, we were able to see the problems with current eCommerce platforms.

Since the launch of Nextsale, we made it a priority to stay in constant communication with our customers to gain insights into their needs and ensure their satisfaction. We discovered that many business owners faced common pain points with their eCommerce platforms.

These platforms often come with costly transaction fees and commissions, requiring additional payments for third-party apps or plugins for marketing purposes. Additionally, those plugins and apps often come as sluggish or crashing leading to a suboptimal user experience. This in turn, can negatively impact sales performance.

Uvodo was born out of the desire to address the issues that business owners face with current eCommerce platforms. With a mission to address these challenges, we set out to create an eCommerce platform that prioritizes increasing conversions for online stores, while eliminating the need to integrate and pay for expensive marketing tools and third-party apps.

Competitive Landscape

Uvodo distinguishes itself from the big players like Shopify and WooCommerce by addressing the pain points that often frustrate small businesses.

While platforms like Shopify and similar ones charge commissions and transaction fees, Uvodo takes a different approach by being completely free of commissions and transaction fees.

One of the key advantages of Uvodo is its all-inclusive nature. Unlike other eCommerce platforms, Uvodo eliminates the need for merchants to install or integrate various paid third-party apps for marketing and growth. Instead, Uvodo provides a comprehensive suite of built-in and pre-integrated tools right within the admin panel. This makes the process easy for merchants, allowing them to focus on their core business activities without the hassle of managing multiple applications.

As the competitive landscape continues to evolve, Uvodo's focus on simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and empowering merchants positions it as a compelling alternative to the established players in the market. By prioritizing the needs of small businesses, Uvodo aims to foster growth, enhance profitability, and ultimately redefine the eCommerce experience for merchants around the world.

Team behind Uvodo

As a team, we are passionate about creating the most profitable yet simplest-to-use eCommerce platform for small businesses.

Currently, we’re a team of 8. Our team consists of eCommerce enthusiasts and experts who are dedicated to creating a comprehensive eCommerce platform.
