About Levanta
Levanta makes software for brands that sell on Amazon, Walmart, Shopify and Wayfair. It lets them run one creator and affiliate program across all of those stores. Brands find creators in Levanta's marketplace, send them free samples and pay them a commission on sales or a flat fee per post. Levanta tracks the clicks and sales and pays the creators, who join for free.
Levanta is headquartered in Seattle but works remote-first, with staff hubs in eight U.S. states. CEO Ian Brodie, CTO Spencer McKenney and chief marketplace officer Rob Schab launched it in March 2023, after selling their earlier affiliate company, Grovia, to Acceleration Partners in 2022. Its customers include HexClad, Caraway, MaryRuth, Goli and Our Place. Levanta works with more than 90,000 vetted creators. In April 2026 it bought the Perch+ affiliate network.

Why Investors Backed Levanta
Investors backed Levanta because it turns creators into a sales channel that marketplace sellers can measure. Brands use it to recruit creators and pay them for the sales they drive. Volition Capital, which led both big rounds, also cited fast growth on very little sales and marketing spend. And the founders had already built and sold an affiliate company together.
The problem it targets
Amazon sellers spend most of their marketing money on sponsored ads, and Brodie says those costs rise every year. In his view, sellers lack a channel they truly own. Volition adds that marketplace rules on affiliate marketing are often strict, so brands give up direct ties with affiliates. Creators can earn commissions from Amazon itself, but Brodie told KUOW in 2024 that sellers pay them more through Levanta. Before Levanta, he said, “there just wasn't a good system or infrastructure to allow those relationships to happen.”
What the product does
Levanta runs one creator and affiliate program across Amazon, Walmart, Shopify and, since October 2026, Wayfair. Brands search more than 90,000 vetted creators or use an AI tool to find others on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook. They can mail free samples, set commissions per product or pay a flat fee per post. Levanta tracks clicks and sales, pays creators and files their 1099 tax forms. Sellers pay a flat fee plus a cut of the sales Levanta drives, Business Insider reported. Creators join free and keep their full commissions.
Progress so far
A March 2024 Practical Founders podcast episode with Brodie put Levanta's annual recurring revenue at $3 million after one year. By November 2024 it had about 1,000 sellers, more than 7,000 creators and roughly 30 staff, KUOW reported. At the time, Levanta's platform was on pace to generate $286 million a year in sales for sellers. In August 2026, Levanta's revenue grew 80% for the year. Brodie told Business Insider it has just over 100 employees and has been profitable or at break-even every year since launch.
Who backs it
Volition Capital, a Boston growth equity firm, led the $20 million Series A in November 2024 and the $22 million Series B in August 2026. It put up the vast majority of both rounds, which Cheng told Business Insider was “very rare” for the firm. Cheng, a founding partner, sits on Levanta's board. Long Run Capital, an early seed investor, also joined the Series B. Earlier backers include OpenSky Ventures and Arrived Homes CEO Ryan Frazier, GeekWire reported.
How the market is moving
In October 2025, affiliate platform ShopMy raised $70 million at a $1.5 billion valuation, in a round led by Avenir. EMARKETER expects affiliate marketing to drive more than $240 billion of US e-commerce sales in 2026, up about 12%, Business Insider reported. Wayfair has opened up too: since October 2026, its suppliers can use Levanta to add their own commission on top of Wayfair's base rate. The niche is also consolidating. In April 2026, Levanta bought Perch+, one of the first affiliate networks built for Amazon sellers.
