What Empreender does
Empreender is a Brazilian SaaS provider founded in 2009 in Barueri, operating a suite of 20+ interconnected web applications designed to automate the operational layers of small and mid-sized e-commerce merchants. Its products are organized across six functional domains: dropshipping (Dropi, Drop.Digital), marketing and conversion (Ovni Influencers, Promoção Agendada, Selly, Super Checkout, Lily Avaliações, Replay, Widget Instagram, Widget TikTok), automation and customer support (SAK WhatsApp automation with AI-generated FAQ articles, Automágico, Botão Zap, whats.ly, Cheguei), shipping and freight (Rastreio, Frete Hero), design and merchandising (365 Artes, Landing Page, Campo Personalizado, Dijital, Parcelamento, Super Favorito), and influencer discovery. The apps are distributed primarily as native integrations inside 30+ e-commerce platforms including Shopify, Nuvemshop, WooCommerce, Tray, Yampi, and Loja Integrada, supplemented by a self-serve web portal (app.empreender.plus) and a WhatsApp-based sales channel.
The business model is predominantly subscription SaaS: individual apps from R$59/month, the Combo 20+ app bundle at R$297/month (advertised as an 88% discount versus a R$1,272 stacked value), and usage-based Rastreio tracking tiers from R$40 to R$1,139/month by code volume. Go-to-market combines product-led growth (3-day free trial, no credit card) with marketplace/app-store placement, content marketing (blog, YouTube, Instagram), a community forum and live mentoring program (Empreender Academy, Embaixadores ambassador program), and direct sales via WhatsApp. The company self-reports 15K+ active stores and 500K+ merchants reached and operates with 101-250 employees. Founders Bruno Brito (CEO) and Andreas Piekarz (CTO) lead the firm as a privately held, bootstrapped entity with no disclosed external institutional capital.

Empreender competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- VTEX: Brazilian-origin commerce platform serving enterprise and SMB merchants with storefront, marketplace, and order management capabilities. Comparable as a comprehensive e-commerce SaaS suite targeting the Brazilian market, though VTEX skews upmarket relative to Empreender's prosumer focus.
Direct peers
- Nuvemshop: Leading LATAM e-commerce platform for SMBs, owned by Globant, providing storefronts and an app marketplace. Empreender is a Nuvemshop app partner but competes for the same SMB merchants' tooling spend across checkout, marketing, and automation.
- Tray (Locaweb): Brazilian e-commerce platform from Locaweb serving SMB merchants with storefronts and integrated apps. Direct overlap in the Brazilian SMB e-commerce target segment, with shared integration partnerships.
- Yampi: Brazilian checkout and e-commerce platform offering conversion, payment, and store tooling for SMBs. Competes head-on with Empreender's Super Checkout, Selly, and broader conversion stack for Brazilian merchants.
- Cartpanda: Brazilian checkout and storefront platform specializing in digital products and infoproduct sellers. Comparable because Empreender's Dropi, Dijital, and Drop.Digital modules target the same Brazilian digital-product merchant base.
- Shopify App Ecosystem (PageFly, Vitals, ReConvert): Leading Shopify app developers (PageFly page builder, Vitals all-in-one, ReConvert upsell) offer comparable modular app suites to Shopify merchants globally. Empreender competes for the same SMB merchant wallet on Shopify's Brazilian user base with similar feature overlap.
- Loja Integrada: Brazilian e-commerce platform serving SMBs with storefronts, payments, and shipping integrations. Listed as an Empreender partner platform but also competes for the same low-end merchant software budget.
Regional players
- Hotmart: Brazilian digital-products platform for creators selling courses, e-books, and infoproducts. Overlaps with Empreender's Dijital and Drop.Digital products for the same Brazilian infoproducer segment.
Emerging players
- Kiwify: Brazilian checkout and digital products platform gaining traction with infoproducers. Competes with Empreender for digital product seller tooling, particularly for marketing automation and checkout conversion.
- HeroSpark: Brazilian all-in-one platform for infoproducers combining checkout, course hosting, and email marketing. Comparable to Empreender's bundle positioning for the digital-product merchant segment in Brazil.
