GLBE

Global-E Online Ltd.

A technology company that helps brands sell their products to shoppers in other countries. Its platform handles the messy parts of cross-border online shopping—currency conversion, taxes, duties, shipping, and local payment methods—so a shopper in Tokyo buying from a Paris brand gets a smooth, local-feeling experience. Founded in 2013 in Petah Tikva, Israel, by three former tech and finance executives, the name is a mashup of "global" and "e-commerce." Clients include fashion houses like Givenchy, Celine, and Hugo Boss.
