Our Company And Founders

Toolio is a distributed team with headquarters in NYC and offices in Turkey backed by top VCs and apparel industry executives. Toolio was founded in 2019 by Eytan Daniyalzade and Berk Atikoglu, serial entrepreneurs who have worked together for more than 10 years. Their previous company, Stylr, was acquired by Walmart Labs in 2014. At Walmart, they lead teams that delivered various groundbreaking products like Sam’s Club Scan & Go and Walmart Pay which reach millions of users and process billions of dollars each year. While at Walmart they got to see that the tools used by planners and merchants were years behind the technology they had built for consumers. So they set out on a mission to change this by building a modern merchandising platform, Toolio.

Toolio is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
