StitchHouse

Role: Product Manager - Discovery to Launch

View Project

Overview

StitchHouse was built to give African vendors one platform to reach global buyers. Vendors were struggling with long onboarding processes and scattered platforms that slowed down their sales journey. StitchHouse was born out of a simple but pressing challenge: African vendors, especially small businesses, lacked a unified platform to reach global buyers. Each vendor relied on fragmented platforms, struggling with visibility, complex onboarding, and inconsistent user experiences. The goal was to build a multi-tenant e-commerce SaaS marketplace where vendors could seamlessly list products, manage their stores, and sell globally, all from one place.
