Frate: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

We're pioneering peer-to-peer returns for the betterment of our planet. The status-quo e-commerce returns process is too costly and environmentally damaging. We solve this by giving retailers the ability to ship returns directly from one customer to the next, keeping returns out of warehouses, putting more profits in their pockets, and decreasing their carbon footprint. There are no winners and losers with peer-to-peer returns; it's a win-win-win for retailers, consumers, and the planet. Backed by 2048 Ventures, Matchstick Ventures, MergeLane, Convoi Ventures, and other strategic investors.

About FundedIQ's Frate Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Frate is left off this page rather than filled in.
