Our story
Ghost is on a mission to deliver modern shopping experiences that unify the elevated in-store experience with the power and convenience of online. Ghost does this by powering one-to-one live video co-shopping experiences that humanize ecommerce, offering the ultimate in online customer experience.
Our team has decades of experience focused on ecommerce and emerging technologies. We've powered hundreds of global launches and billions of transactions for major brands. As innovative, solution-oriented leaders, we saw the struggles brands faced when it came to bringing the richness of in-store service to online customers. We’ve turned the scrolling, chatbot popups, and impersonal clicking of a typical online shopping experience into an engaging, human interaction layered on top of a seamless co-browsing platform that drives genuine results.
Join our world-class team in transforming the future of the online shopping industry.
