About Turtles
Turtles is building the world's #1 platform for powering interactive shopping experiences. We started with a simple truth: shopping used to feel magical. Over time, that spark got buried under endless scrolling and generic discounts. We believe shoppers deserve better, and that brands deserve better ways to sell.
We build a suite of powerful tools that help brands and retailers create exciting commerce experiences, find new customers, and solve real-world problems like managing surplus inventory. From legendary companies to innovative apps, Turtles powers smart shopping for some of the world's best brands.
The team is made up of highly-motivated, analytical and entrepreneurial professionals who work collaboratively to provide top-notch recreational shopping experiences for our customers. We challenge each other in an open and candid environment, no matter what our job title is, so that we may all grow and improve together.
