The platform now operates a network of over 35,000 active shoppers across all 50 states, utilizing GPS-timestamped photos and computer vision to monitor stock levels, pricing, and display compliance. Founder and CEO Jordan Karcher developed the tool after identifying a significant gap in the market: brands often lacked affordable, precise data regarding their presence in retail stores, forcing them to rely on delayed or incomplete information.

Retail Intelligence Platform Eileen Secures Pre-Seed Funding
Nashville-based Eileen has closed an oversubscribed pre-seed round led by Top Shelf Ventures, marking a period of rapid expansion for the retail intelligence platform. The company, which provides CPG brands with real-time data on shelf inventory, reported a 105% revenue increase in the second quarter of 2026.
New platform features include gamified mobile data capture and competitive benchmarking, allowing brands to address authorization gaps immediately. In a recent test case, The Original Southside, an RTD cocktail brand, utilized Eileen to identify 19 missing SKUs at Whole Foods locations in California. This evidence-based insight allowed the brand to coordinate with buyers and secure a 117-case reorder. With no long-term contracts or minimums, Eileen aims to provide smaller brands with the same visibility typically reserved for enterprise-level organizations.
