Sante is the complete operating system for the $550B community retail market; convenience, independent grocery, liquor stores. We’ve started with liquor stores, and we’ve emerged as the industry-leader in just two years by helping these SMBs generate more revenue with our in-store POS, eComm, marketing platform and agents that help with essential, everyday tasks like phone orders and inventory receiving.
These retail businesses are cornerstones of our communities, bringing cultures and flavors from around the world to Main St. near you. They give our neighborhoods a sense of identity that corporate chains will drown out if they take marketshare from these SMBs that exist to serve locals.
We’re delivering best-in-class technology to hundreds of customers, processing $500M+ in annual card volume. With usage around the clock, Santé is the most important software our customers use. It is their lifeline to accepting sales, managing inventory, tracking employees and keeping up with their P&L.
Santé is backed by top investors like Y-Combinator, Bonfire Ventures, Operator Collective, Veridical Ventures and UpHonest Capital.
We are in growth mode now. We 4x’d in 2025, and we will 10x this year. If you are fulfilled by ownership and a life-changing outcome, let’s connect. We’ll show you why Santé is the right bet for the next chapter in your career.
