About Faire
Faire is an online wholesale marketplace built on the belief that the future is
local — independent retailers around the globe are doing more revenue than
Walmart and Amazon combined, but individually, they are small compared to these
massive entities. At Faire, we're using the power of tech, data, and machine
learning to connect this thriving community of entrepreneurs across the globe.
Picture your favorite boutique in town — we help them discover the best products
from around the world to sell in their stores. With the right tools and
insights, we believe that we can level the playing field so that small
businesses everywhere can compete with these big box and e-commerce giants.
By supporting the growth of independent businesses, Faire is driving positive
economic impact in local communities, globally. We’re looking for smart,
resourceful and passionate people to join us as we power the shop local
movement. If you believe in community, come join ours.
