Frontnow is a Berlin-based AI company founded in 2020 by Marc Funk, Bernhard Lihotzky, and Cedric May, focused on improving pre-sales conversion for e-commerce businesses. The company has raised $4.15 million from investors including PROfounders Capital Partners and Peak.
Frontnow ships two connected products: Advisor, a generative-AI virtual shopping assistant that answers customer questions in multiple languages and guides shoppers through complex product catalogs, and Enhance, which uses self-learning algorithms to clean up and enrich product data, automatically writing SEO-optimized titles, descriptions, and attributes. The company reports results including a 74% increase in conversion rate and a 57% rise in average shopping cart value for customers using the platform.
Frontnow targets mid-size to large online retailers that want an AI layer over their existing storefront rather than a full replatform. Pricing is not published; Frontnow requires a custom quote, usually tied to a minimum 12-month contract and an upfront setup fee.
