About Us

Matagora is, and has always been about democratizing retail.

In case you're wondering Matagora is a word made up, which is derived from matador + agora = chamption the marketplace!

When we started as a pop-up shop facilitator, our focus was on helping small brands get a foot in the door in brick and mortar spaces. Like the rest of the world, the pandemic showed us that we need to be flexible to keep up with the times.

That’s why we pivoted to support not only brick and mortar, but the entirety of the online to offline and dropship marketplace. Through these changes, the core of Matagora has never faltered.

We believe in the underdogs, and we exist to help you grow.

Our mission.

Retail is hard and has gotten harder than ever before, as independent retailers have to compete against major big box retailers. The past few years have been a period of survival for small businesses, instead of growth. The core goal of a store is to create a unique and memorable experience that is full of new, exciting products to be discovered. The reality is, online and offline, independent retailers are struggling like never before.

We believe in ambitious store owners as much as we believe in brand creators. We believe there is magic when passionate retailers connect.

That is why we have made it our mission to level out the playing field for independent retailers. By eliminating the barriers holding store owners and brands back - we make it easier to come together to stand out.
