About us

eporta is the leading trade marketplace for interiors products and we are revolutionising the $700bn/yr wholesale furniture industry.  

Sourcing for interior designer products is a complex process, information is fragmented which makes it time consuming and admin intensive to find great products.  Eporta exists to solve this issue.  We help trade buyers (interior designers, architects and retailers) to source products directly from over 1,000 furniture brands and suppliers globally.

How do we do it?

• 
  
• we travel the world to discover the best products and designers, partnering with well-known design brands such as Vitra, Cassina, Tom Dixon and Moroso in addition to hundreds of emerging designers.
  
• we translate supplier product information into simple and elegant digital catalogues which are easy for buyers to shop from
  
• we build intuitive technology to facilitate direct communication between suppliers and buyers, and enable them to manage their workflow seamlessly
  
• we talk to our buyers, who are located in over 50 different countries, every day. We listen and we respond.
  

What is our culture like?

We are a small, dynamic (ruthlessly meritocratic) team with a wide range of experience. Company culture and team dynamics are hugely important to us. We believe in flat structure but clear roles. We push forward fast, take initiative to do whatever needs doing, and we work as a team.  

Why are we exciting?

The value of what we are doing is proven by the people who choose to work with us. We have been the digital partner for every trade show in the UK, including Decorex, 100% Design, Tent and Clerkenwell Design Week and are now the leading global community online for furniture brands and trade buyers.

We are a young, entrepreneurial business where every individual’s ideas matter.  Often ideas that team members have one day are put into action that week, so if you’re looking for a challenging environment where you make an impact every day in what you do, this is the place for you.

We are also backed by well-known, experienced investors.  Our lead investor is Robin Klein (Index ventures) with others including Ed Wray (founder of Betfair), Rohan Blacker (founder of sofa.com), Guy Hands (founder of Terra Firma) and the founding team at Zoopla.
