AddressAbout Us
We are an ambitious startup, building the tools to empower e-commerce retailers and brands to build stronger customer engagement and loyalty through native mobile apps. We offer an intellectually stimulating environment, work within an interdisciplinary team, and an inclusive culture.
StoreLab started with two beliefs:
- Mobile apps are the future of e-commerce
- Small & medium businesses should have the same opportunities within that future as the bigger companies
So, we created a more accessible entry point to make (and help people make) mobile apps for Shopify stores.
Internally, we’re an ever-growing lovely bunch of mobile enthusiasts looking to add more like-minded, friendly faces to our team.
