It tracks approximately $1.5 billion in gross merchandise value and had integrated over 7,000 online retailers by the end of Q3 2013, with 35% average monthly growth since early 2013. Operating on a B2B SaaS model with 11-50 employees, Itembase has raised at least $3.25 million in funding from investors such as High-Tech Gründerfonds, Rheingau Founders, and German Startups Group. Leadership includes CEO Stefan Jørgensen, CTO Ramo Karahasan-Riechardt, and EVP Global Business Development Kevin Worobec. Founded by Stefan Jørgensen and Ramo Karahasan-Riechardt, the exact founding year is not publicly known.
Itembase is a technology company providing an eCommerce API integration platform (iPaaS) that enables solution and service providers to connect with over 700 shopping carts, marketplaces, and POS systems worldwide.[1][2][3] It serves eCommerce enablers in verticals like shipping, financial services, accounting, marketing, and aftersales, automating integrations, data processes, and partnerships to onboard merchants faster and scale apps across 30 million merchants.[1][3][4] With $18 million in revenue, $3.2 million in funding, and around 20-51 employees since its 2018 founding, Itembase demonstrates strong growth, including helping customers generate $200 million in new pipeline and scaling one client from 50 to 11,000 merchants in 12 months.[2][3]
Founded in 2018, Itembase emerged from the need to simplify eCommerce connectivity, created "by eCommerce Enablers for eCommerce Enablers" with Scandinavian roots and a "Viking" ethos of global conquest via APIs and machine learning.[2][4] Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, with offices across the US and Europe, it hosts events in 12 cities from Bangkok to San Francisco.[1][2] Early traction built on addressing integration challenges in the booming eCommerce sector, evolving from product data platforms to a comprehensive iPaaS with the largest connector catalog in the industry.[3][4][5]
Itembase rides the eCommerce explosion, fueled by digital transformation, marketplace proliferation, and demand for seamless B2B integrations amid global trade growth.[1][3] Its timing aligns with post-pandemic online shopping surges and the shift to composable commerce, where providers need rapid scalability across fragmented systems like Shopify, Amazon, and POS networks.[3][4] Market forces favoring Itembase include rising API adoption, venture-backed eCommerce apps chasing merchant growth milestones, and the need for compliant, low-maintenance connectivity in regulated verticals.[2][3] By enabling partnerships and data flows, it influences the ecosystem as a neutral "one connection to commerce" hub, accelerating innovation for enablers and reducing fragmentation.[1][4]
Itembase is poised to expand its connector catalog and market insights suite, targeting deeper penetration in emerging markets and AI-driven automation as eCommerce hits new highs.[3][4] Trends like headless commerce, embedded finance, and cross-border scaling will amplify demand for its iPaaS, potentially boosting revenue beyond $18 million through enterprise wins and partnerships.[2] Its influence may evolve into a dominant commerce data layer, empowering more startups to conquer global markets—just as its Viking forebears charted new trade routes with modern APIs.[4] This positions Itembase as a foundational enabler in the connected commerce era.
