What Shiperise does

Shiperise SA is a Brussels-based inventory financing platform, incorporated under Belgian law in 2024, that provides working capital to sustainable brands by pre-purchasing their inventory at a discount and managing the subsequent stock logistics. The company operates a merchandise consignment and asset-based lending model: brands receive immediate cash flow without dilutive equity financing, while Shiperise retains and distributes the underlying inventory. Brand-side financing is complemented by an investor-side offering in which Shiperise issues Treasury Notes on its own balance sheet, backed by real merchandise and inventory assets, with a 24-month maturity, a minimum subscription of 100,000 EUR, and a stated potential return of up to 12%. The product is offered exclusively as a private placement to qualified investors in Belgium.

The platform is built around three components: an Inventory Pre-Purchase Financing product, a self-service Funding Calculator that lets brands assess funding potential in approximately one minute, and a Treasury Notes issuance program. Distribution is direct and sales-led: brands are reached through the company website and contact forms, with a stated 48-hour funding timeline from assessment to payment. The customer base is restricted to sustainable brands operating in defined sub-verticals, including energy efficiency, personal equipment, building products, and micro-mobility. Investor distribution is similarly direct, with no disclosed broker or placement agent relationships, and is geographically limited to Belgium.

Shiperise generates revenue through two streams: transaction-based fees on inventory pre-purchased from brands, and proceeds from the issuance of Treasury Notes to professional investors. Pricing is quote-based for brands and ticket-based for investors, with no publicly disclosed tiers. The company employs 1–10 people, is headquartered at 272 Avenue Brugmann in Brussels, and operates as an independent, founder-controlled private entity with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company. Co-founders Lionel Slusny (CEO) and Nicolas Meerschaert (CIO) bring consulting, crowdfunding, and financial-services backgrounds to the business. Ecosystem partnerships with ChangeNOW, BeCircular, and BeClimateHub provide channel support within the Belgian sustainable-brand community but are not central to the operating model.

Direct peers

• Wayflyer: Wayflyer provides inventory and working-capital financing to e-commerce and DTC brands, closely mirroring Shiperise's core offering of pre-purchasing inventory to unlock cash flow for brand customers.
• Clearco: Clearco (formerly Clearbanc) offers revenue-based and inventory-style financing to DTC and e-commerce brands, competing for the same sustainable and growth-oriented brand customers as Shiperise.
• Uncapped: Uncapped provides non-dilutive working capital and growth funding to brands and SaaS companies, with an asset-light revenue-based model comparable to Shiperise's brand-financing focus.
• MarketFinance: MarketFinance (now known as Atomico) provides invoice financing, inventory loans, and business lines of credit to UK and European SMBs, overlapping with Shiperise's inventory financing and private debt offerings.

Emerging players

• Founderpath: Founderpath offers revenue-based financing to SaaS founders and growth-stage startups; while focused on SaaS, its non-dilutive growth capital model is comparable to Shiperise's brand-financing product.
