About

We’ve been the customer

We spent ten years running an e-commerce brand in one of the most heavily regulated categories there is. We built the software, fought the payment processors, handled the compliance, and did our own books.

That’s the whole reason this business exists. When someone tells you a piece of technology will change everything, it matters whether they’ve ever had to pay for it out of their own revenue and live with the result. We have.

Solanova is the two of us. The people you talk to are the people who build it.
