Seattle-based startup Levanta announced a $1 million funding round to help Amazon sellers ink affiliate partnerships with creators and influencers.
- Founded last year, Levanta lets Amazon sellers create their own affiliate programs, recruit creators, generate revenue reports, and make affiliate commission payments. The marketplace has nearly 2,000 creators and more than 500 brands.
- The 8-person company launched in March and surpassed $1 million in annual recurring revenue this fall. It is profitable.
- Levanta is led by CEO Ian Brodie, CMO Rob Schab, and CTO Spencer McKenney. The University of Washington grads co-founded Levanta and previously led Grovia.io, which grew to 26 employees and exited to a larger affiliate services company last year.
- Long Run Capital led the latest round. Other backers include OpenSky Ventures and Arrived Homes CEO Ryan Frazier.
