As both companies join forces, Duda plans to invest in growing the Snipcart team and adding more capabilities and features to the core Snipcart platform.

“When Duda approached us, we discovered strong synergies within this partnership. You rarely find an acquiring company that is technologically, culturally, and financially aligned. I have no doubt that with the focus on growing ecommerce and the combined resources of both companies there is no limit to what we can achieve together.”
