Having successfully raised initial seed funding, Nokori was a next generation headless commerce platform attempting to enable developers of all skill levels to rapidly build software products in a low-code environment while preserving meaningful scalability. Nokori sought to incorporate Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Generative-AI, and advanced engineering flows with common build tasks that are largely non-value add for most developers. We hoped to bring the bleeding edge of technology to the most common developers in novel ways. After 16 months of concerted effort, the investment team failed to find meaningful product-market fit and shut down the brand.
