$6 million
Voila, a startup building infrastructure for social commerce, is bringing concepts from China’s e-commerce market to the U.S. The company offers an alternative to the “link in bio” solutions used today by creators, like Linktree and Beacons, which direct followers to creators’ social profiles, personal websites, and other recommendations. Instead of a link list or landing page, Voila creates A.I.-powered customizable, shoppable storefronts by automatically detecting items in the creators’ online content then generating shoppable links.
