Logicbroker Acquires Cortina; Expanding Comprehensive Marketplace & Dropship Solutions

CHICAGO, Illinois | January 11, 2024

Logicbroker, a leading provider of multi-vendor commerce SaaS solutions and a portfolio company of K1 Investment Management, is pleased to announce that it has acquired Cortina, an emerging leader of marketplace and dropship solutions.

Cortina has developed advanced marketplace connections with Shopify, Squarespace, and WooCommerce, speeding up the retailer onboarding process, and has also built a valued customer and supplier network of over 1,500 brands. The Cortina network will be an asset to Logicbroker’s current and future customers. In addition, their advanced vendor and product discovery tools, combined with their notification, billing, and bundling systems will be integrated into the Logicbroker portal for the combined customer base.   

“We could not be more pleased to welcome the Cortina team and their clients to Logicbroker,” Logicbroker CEO Justin Hartanov said. “Cortina has made a name for itself in our industry by building an incredible Multi-Vendor Commerce offering. Their technology platform is modern and robust, and we look forward to combining their powerful functionality as well as their network of brands into the Logicbroker ecosystem.”   

“We are excited to get started with Logicbroker and bring more retailers and brands into a truly modern age of commerce,” Cortina CEO and Co-Founder Keith George said. “Cortina’s main focus over the last several years has been to help solve marketplace issues when dealing with hundreds of brands, thousands of SKUs, and millions of dollars in GMV. Joining the Logicbroker network is the next step in our evolution.” 

“We are thrilled to join an industry leading solution and help continue to innovate for our customers and the industry,” Cortina Co-Founder Brooke Cundiff said. “Logicbroker’s Multi-Vendor Commerce Platform is unique in that it remains nimble and scalable. Together we aim tocreate a leading multi-vendor commerce experience for our clients.”  

Cortina’s customer-centric team and its innovative vendor and product discovery capabilities led to its recognition as an up-and-coming tech partner in McFadyen Digital’s Marketplace Suite Spot Report in 2023. Cortina’s solutions have helped several namesake fashion brands including Poosh, Loveseen, and Atrio, and will expand Logicbroker’s current offerings for even more comprehensive marketplace and dropship solutions.  

With combined expertise and unwavering commitment to innovation, Logicbroker is poised to redefine the boundaries of what’s possible in multi-vendor commerce.

Certain statements about K1 Investment Management LLC (“K1”) made by portfolio company executives herein are intended to illustrate K1's business relationship with such persons, including with respect to K1's facilities as a business partner, rather than K1's capabilities or expertise with respect to investment advisory services. Portfolio company executives were not compensated in connection with their participation, although they generally receive compensation and investment opportunities in connection with their portfolio company roles, and in certain cases are also owners of portfolio company securities and/or investors in K1-sponsored vehicles. Such compensation and investments subject participants to potential conflicts of interest in making the statements herein. For K1, “carbon neutral” means that any greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions derived from a defined scope of K1’s activities are balanced by an equivalent amount removed, including through our purchase of carbon credits. In this report, our “carbon neutral” status is based on our GHG emissions footprint calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol as of December 31st, 2023 (comprising Scope 2 Electricity and Gas usage and certain Scope 3 categories: Business Travel and Employee Commuting), amounting to an estimated 3,497 metric tons CO2e. K1 then purchased and applied carbon credits in 2024, amounting to an estimated 6,994 metric tons of CO2e. We engaged a third party to assist with the calculation of K1’s estimated GHG emissions for 2023, but we did not obtain independent, third-party verification of our “carbon neutral” status. To address our 2023 emissions, we contributed to the Conservación y Captura de Carbono / Conservation and Carbon Capture (CO2LTZINGO) reforestation carbon removal project in Coltzingo, Mexico (CAR 1464). This project was certified by the Climate Action Reserve (CAR), using the Protocolo Forestal para México (PFM) Versión 1.5 / Mexico Forest Protocol Version 1.5 and the Guía de Cuantificación de Acervos de Carbono y Monitoreo del Proyecto Versión 1.5 / Project Monitoring and Carbon Stock Quantification Guidance Version 1.5 with a validation date of January 15th, 2019.
