Pixlee is a visual marketing platform that allows businesses to market and sell with real customer photos and videos.

History

Pixlee was founded in July 2012 in Palo Alto, California by Kyle Wong, Awad Sayeed, Miraj Mohsin, and Jeff Chen. The group originally founded Pixlee out of Wong's Stanford University dorm room before being accepted to the StartX Business Incubator in 2012.[1][2][3][4]

After successfully graduating from the StartX program, Pixlee closed a $1.5 million seed funding round from a number of Venture Capital firms and individual Silicon Valley investors. Some of the notable contributors to the round were Andreessen Horowitz, XSeed Capital, and Rothenberg Ventures.[5][6][7][8][9] In 2015, Pixlee closed a $4 million venture round from investors including GS Shop and You & Mr Jones Brandtech Ventures. [10]

The company has won numerous awards including Digiday's Signal Award for 'Best Content Curation Platform,' SXSW 'Most Disruptive Retail Technology' Audience Choice Award, and San Francisco Business Time's Best Places to Work. [11] [12] [13]

Pixlee works with more than 150 brands such as Kenneth Cole, Gaiam, Levi Strauss and Kimpton Hotels to develop a more authentic marketing experience and to create stronger relationships with their most passionate customers.

Pixlee’s visual marketing platform curates customer-generated content in real-time, manages permission rights and easily integrates the content directly into multi-channel browsing and shopping experiences. The company’s approach has proven to impact sales profoundly: Shoppers that engage with Pixlee-managed content on a brand’s website are, on average, 2x more likely to make a purchase. [14]

Pixlee is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York and Toronto.
