About Tightly

We are on a mission to build the world’s best retail operating system

Commerce is real-time, but the systems running it remain static. The era of managing dynamic businesses on spreadsheets is over. Tightly is the intelligence layer that sits above your stack, turning passive data into active orchestration.

Our Origins

The "Static" Trap

We spent the last decade automating the cloud. At Spot.io and Rubrik, we didn't just manage infrastructure; we built the autonomous engines that allow the modern web to scale. We proved that when you replace human guesswork with algorithmic execution, you unlock massive value.

In our world, "static" meant dead.

Then, we looked at Retail. We saw a $30 Trillion industry frozen in time. Merchants are fighting viral trends and dynamic competitors with tools built in 2005—trying to run a real-time world with a digital filing cabinet. The result is a $1.8 Trillion blind spot (Inventory Distortion).

I founded Tightly to bring that same infrastructure DNA to commerce. We are doing for Retail what we did for the Cloud.

Our Core Beliefs

The Tightly Standard

The Tightly Standard

We are rewriting the operating manual for modern commerce. We believe in replacing static silos with a unified, dynamic nervous system.

The Friction

Buying, Pricing, and Merchandising cannot live in silos. When they do, you buy stock you can't sell and discount stock you should have kept.

The Shift

Retail is real-time. Your tools shouldn't be. We move you from monthly static spreadsheets to live, algorithmic execution that reacts instantly to the market.

The Solution

We close the loop. Inventory dictates Price. Price informs Merchandising. The Forecast arms the Store. The brain finally talks to the body.

The Outcome

It’s not just about efficiency; it’s about yield. We maximize the lifetime profitability of every SKU from the moment it’s booked to the moment it’s sold.

The Vision

Bringing algorithmic certainty to a guessing game

"At Rubrik and Spot, our obsession was efficiency. We built autonomous systems to ensure that not a single byte of storage or unit of compute was wasted.

Retail is the same problem, just with higher stakes. It’s about Capital Efficiency.

We built Tightly to bring that same relentless optimization to commerce. We treat your inventory like compute power, a finite, expensive resource that must be deployed instantly to where it creates the most value. We are building the operating system for the efficient economy."

Our DNA

Engineering the Future of Commerce

We aren't traditional merchants. We are infrastructure builders applying high-scale logic to an old-school problem.

We believe that the supply chain is the world's most complex distributed system. By applying the same Resource Optimization principles used in cloud computing to retail, we help brands move faster, waste less, and profit more. We don't just want to modernize the industry; we want to make it autonomous.
