I noticed that leadership roles dominate the hiring patterns, with Heads of Business Development (12%), Finance (10%), Marketing (9%), and Operations Directors (8%) leading the way. These senior positions span commercial, financial, and operational functions, suggesting that Faire's buyers are executives responsible for growth strategy, revenue optimization, and operational efficiency. The emphasis on business development and revenue operations roles indicates companies are prioritizing market expansion and customer acquisition.
Day-to-day users appear to be mid-level managers and specialists handling customer relationships, project management, and process optimization. I found numerous positions focused on client support, quality management, and operational coordination. These practitioners manage workflows involving customer data, performance tracking, and cross-functional collaboration, particularly in retail, logistics, and service delivery contexts.
The pain points center on scaling operations and digital transformation. Companies repeatedly mention goals like "accompagner sa croissance," "optimisation des processus," and "transformation digitale." One posting emphasized "faire plus pour ceux qui en ont le plus besoin" while another highlighted "optimiser la performance" and "garantir un service client de qualité." These phrases reveal organizations struggling to balance rapid growth with operational excellence, seeking tools that improve efficiency, enhance customer experience, and support data-driven decision-making across increasingly complex business environments.

Shows how much more likely Faire customers are to use each tool compared to the general population. For example, 287x means customers are 287 times more likely to use that tool.
I noticed that Faire's customers are clearly e-commerce retailers, specifically small to mid-sized direct-to-consumer brands built on modern digital commerce infrastructure. The dominance of Shopify alongside subscription management (Recharge) and retention tools (Klaviyo, Attentive) tells me these are companies selling consumable or repeat-purchase products online. They're not just selling products once. They're building recurring revenue streams and customer relationships.
The pairing of Klaviyo and Attentive is particularly telling. These companies are investing heavily in owned marketing channels, using email and SMS to drive repeat purchases rather than relying on paid advertising. When I see Rebuy Engine in the mix at 61.8x more likely, that reinforces this pattern. These retailers are focused on increasing customer lifetime value through upsells, cross-sells, and personalized recommendations. The presence of Recharge at nearly 39x more likely confirms they're selling subscriptions, probably for products like coffee, skincare, pet supplies, or other consumables that customers need regularly.
My analysis shows these are marketing-led companies in growth stage, likely doing between $1M and $50M in annual revenue. They've moved past the founder-led scrappy phase and are investing in automation and retention infrastructure. They're not enterprise-scale yet, but they're sophisticated operators who understand unit economics. The tech stack reveals a clear playbook: acquire customers, get them into a subscription model, and maximize lifetime value through personalized retention marketing.

I noticed that Faire's typical customer is an independent brand or maker that designs and sells physical consumer products, primarily in lifestyle categories. These are companies creating jewelry, apparel, home goods, beauty products, food and beverages, candles, pet supplies, and gift items. They're not just reselling, they're creating original products with distinct points of view. Many emphasize handmade production, small-batch manufacturing, or direct relationships with artisans.
These are predominantly early-stage to small growing businesses. The employee counts tell the story: most have between 2 and 50 employees, with the majority clustering under 20. Very few have disclosed funding, and when they do, it's typically seed stage or small Series A rounds. Many were founded in the last 5 to 15 years. They're past the pure startup phase where they're figuring out product-market fit, but they're not yet scaled operations. They're at the stage where they need distribution channels to reach more retailers.
