- Channel3 is building a database of every product on the internet using AI to structure messy product data.
- Their vision includes becoming a central node for agentic commerce, similar to Stripe for payments or Plaid for fintech.
- The problem they address is the inconsistency and inaccuracy of product data, which bottlenecks agentic commerce.
- McKinsey estimates the US B2C retail market could see up to $1 trillion in orchestrated revenue from agentic commerce by 2030.
- The team consists of experienced engineers, including Alex (CEO) and George (CTO), with backgrounds in AI and big data.
- Channel3 has indexed over 100M products, has 1500+ developers using their API, and is scoping pilots with enterprise customers.
- They are looking for engineers to help understand and deduplicate products, build world-class search, and optimize for reliability and cost.
- The company raised a $6M seed round in August 2025, led by Matrix with participation from Ludlow, Y Combinator, and others.
- They work in-person in their Flatiron office Monday through Friday, with flexible weekend work expectations.
- Channel3 offers a fast-moving, fun work environment with direct ownership of technical decisions and a clear monetization path.
