Merchants can sell more and operate less, with automation and AI running repetitive tasks so they can focus on building their brand.Founded in 2011 by Alejandro Alfonso, Santiago Sosa, Jose Abuchaem, Martin Palombo, and Alejandro Vazquez, Nuvemshop is headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil, and serves D2C brands across Latin America — from those building their first store to those scaling to hundreds of millions in annual revenue.
