About

ParcelLab was founded in 2015 in Munich, Germany and raised over $112M to build a post-purchase experience platform that helps e-commerce brands and retailers own the customer touchpoints between order confirmation and delivery. The company recognized that most brands cede this critical period to carrier-branded tracking pages and generic notification emails, missing the opportunity to reinforce brand identity, cross-sell, and build loyalty during a time when customers are highly engaged and checking their order status frequently.\n\nThe ParcelLab platform intercepts carrier tracking data from hundreds of global carriers and uses it to power branded order status pages, proactive shipping notifications via email and SMS, and automated communications for exceptions like delays or missing packages. Brands configure the entire post-purchase experience within ParcelLab, replacing generic carrier pages with a branded experience that keeps customers on the merchant's owned channels rather than redirecting them to third-party carrier websites.\n\nParcelLab serves large enterprise and mid-market retailers globally, with particular strength in European markets and expanding presence in North America following its US expansion. The company competes against Narvar, AfterShip, and Shipup in the post-purchase experience category, differentiating through its enterprise depth, the breadth of its carrier integrations covering 350+ carriers, and its returns experience product that extends the branded experience to the returns journey.

About

Bruno is an open-source API client and testing tool — a lightweight, offline-first, git-friendly alternative to Postman and Insomnia — enabling developers to explore, test, and document APIs with collections stored as plain-text Bru files in the project filesystem rather than in cloud-synced proprietary formats. Created by a solo founder in 2022 and growing to a 9-person team by late 2024, Bruno operates with an unusual philosophy: the founder publicly declined 8 venture capital offers to preserve product freedom and build toward profitability, with the core Bruno client remaining free and open-source (MIT license) while the Golden Edition provides enterprise features for commercial revenue. Pro and Ultimate paid editions launched in 2024.
