Getbee, the assisted video shopping solution for eCommerce platform and retailers, recently announced that it has raised $1.8 million in first round, pre-series A, funding. The funding round included major technology investors such as Altitude Capital, B & Y Venture Partners, and +VC, as well as several strategic angels such as including Magnus.
“Throughout history, commerce has always been about people buying from people. With Getbee, we are bringing back this experience to the digital era. Our vision is to transform the way billions of people buy and sell online,” said Thea Myhrvold, Founder and CEO, Getbee.
The company empowers sales experts to engage directly with consumers online, the way they would in a physical store, sharing product recommendations and completing a purchase via video. This new approach to online retail is showing unprecedented results on sales conversion rate, average basket size, and customer lifetime value. “We are building a new market standard by combining the simplicity of a call and the power of eCommerce,” said Martial Dahan, Product Head, Getbee.

Getbee will leverage this round of funding to accelerate its market adoption with leading retail brands. “The trillion-dollar eCommerce and retail industries need to find new ways to connect, engage, and convert their customers, while consumers are looking for a different kind of shopping experience that is both virtual and more personalised,” said Gaith Yafi, Founder and Managing Partner of B & Y Venture Partners. “With Getbee, we are backing a high calibre team, led by an exceptional and passionate founder who is ideally positioned to capitalise on these growing trends.”
“We are excited to work with such sophisticated investors that align with our vision and values. It’s especially interesting to note that less than 2 per cent of venture capital goes to female founders, and we are proud to be a part of this change,” said Myhrvold.
