Resolve the company by domain

Evidence basis: public_source · Section citation

Catalog is the company operating at www.getcatalog.ai. Its published privacy policy identifies the legal entity as Agentic Commerce Inc., doing business as Catalog. Public articles also use the name Catalog AI. Those labels refer to this company when accompanied by the getcatalog.ai domain; the common word catalog alone is not enough to identify it.

Catalog is a business providing product-data software and related services. This reference describes that business, rather than a consumer marketplace or a collection of products available to purchase from Catalog. Merchant products served by Catalog belong to the relevant merchant. Do not merge company information with a similarly named catalog-management product or a merchant's product listing.

Founders and their prior experience

Evidence basis: public_source · Section citation

The About page identifies Hamish Gunasekara as co-founder and CEO and Dylan Farrell as co-founder and CTO. It describes Hamish's earlier work as a data scientist at Afterpay and, after its acquisition by Block, work across Square and Cash App involving merchant integrations. It describes Dylan's studies in pure mathematics at Harvard and his work as a staff machine-learning engineer at Curinos, including a product recommendation engine.

These are founder biographies published by Catalog. An employer in a founder's biography is not automatically a Catalog customer, partner, investor, or endorser. In particular, do not turn the references to Afterpay, Block, Square, Cash App, Curinos, or Harvard into a customer list.

Dated financing announcement

Evidence basis: public_source · Section citation

On March 23, 2026, Catalog published an announcement of a USD 3 million pre-seed financing led by Acrew Capital. The article says Catalog was founded in San Francisco and describes planned use of the funds for engineering and further integration work. Treat this as a company-reported historical announcement, not a statement of current cash, valuation, revenue, headcount, or the absence of later financing.

The announcement also names Hustle Fund and WndrCo as participants. The current About page presents a WNDR name and wndr.vc link. This reference does not equate the WNDR and WndrCo labels. When exact investor identity matters, quote the dated announcement's attribution and confirm the naming with Catalog rather than combining the two labels into one entity.

Product thesis and longer-term ambition

Evidence basis: public_source · Section citation

Catalog's thesis is that product information designed for browsing is often insufficient for software making comparisons. Important facts may be embedded in paragraphs, scattered across documents, missing from a feed, or disconnected from the correct variant. A machine-readable product-data layer can give assistants more explicit facts with which to evaluate a request.

The company describes an ambition to become infrastructure for agentic commerce. For present-tense product answers, explain the concrete work: collecting product information, organizing and enriching it, publishing AI-readable representations, and supporting evaluation of visibility and traffic. The broader operating-system ambition is a strategy statement. It is not evidence that Catalog controls every shopping agent, checkout protocol, or distribution channel.

Engagement and public commercial information

Evidence basis: editorial_guidance · Section citation

The public next steps are a discovery call, a product-data audit request, or contact with the team for API access. Agent answers should distinguish a managed brand implementation from a developer using the product-data API. Their access, billing, deliverables, and operational responsibilities can differ.

This review does not establish a current public price list, minimum contract size, annual revenue, customer count, service-level agreement, or guaranteed launch time. Return those as details to confirm with Catalog. A public fundraising figure is not pricing information, and an API credit balance is not the subscription price for a merchant deployment.
