Oscar Walter from Stockly

Joining me all the way from Paris, for the eleventh episode, is Mr Oscar Walter. The co-founder and CTO of Stockly, a retail technology company that creates a network of shared inventories for partners to sell items they don’t have in stock. The company was conceived in 2016, albeit slightly differently, and officially launched in 2018, a time in which they were a part of the Techstars accelerator. Through several rounds of funding, and keeping up with the latest development in technology, Stockly has proliferated throughout most of Europe. Though the network is not quite as large as Amazon – the main competitor disrupting the European retailer ecosystem – many companies are now able to generate profit levels they hadn’t reached previously. Mr Walter believes they haven’t even scratched the surface of what could be done. Changing the way retail will forever work, and challenging centuries old business practices, Stockly has a difficult challenge to continue expanding and partnering with more and more partners. As of 2025, the company has done over $17 million in funding, has partnered with over 300 retailers, and has over 100 million available items. Plans for this year include AI integration to reduce employee time involved in redundant tasks and a more seamless transaction between partners and consumers.
