## About

Based in the New York, US, Channel3 operates as a technology company providing an innovative Product API that enhances AI-driven shopping experiences for businesses and consumers alike. Channel3 is a technology company specializing in AI shopping solutions. It was founded in 2025 and has engaged in one significant deal. The company raised seed funding on December 10, 2025, from Matrix.org and Ludlow Ventures. Channel3 offers a robust Product API tailored for AI shopping applications, enabling businesses to discover and recommend products from a catalog exceeding 50,000 brands. The API features advanced search capabilities, allowing users to find products through image recognition or text queries, thus facilitating seamless integration into various applications. Catering to a diverse clientele in e-commerce, the service supports regions with high online shopping activity, including North America, Europe, and parts of Asia.Channel3 generates revenue primarily through a commission-based model, where partners earn an average of 5% on sales driven by their AI applications. The revenue model also includes subscription fees for API access, offering 1,000 free searches followed by a charge of USD 7 for each additional 1,000 searches. This model effectively serves both B2B clients and direct-to-consumer sales channels, providing essential tools for product discovery in a competitive digital marketplace. In December 2025, Channel3 secured seed funding to expand its engineering team and build compute infrastructure for large-scale token processing to improve product search. The company is focused on designing new features for its Product API and plans to extend its market reach into additional regions, including Asia and Europe, by the end of 2026. This funding will support these initiatives and enhance its operational capabilities.
