The story

42 Technologies launched in 2013 as a Y Combinator-backed analytics platform turning point-of-sale data into insights for brick-and-mortar retailers. Over a decade it has evolved into an omnichannel retail BI platform unifying eCommerce, POS, wholesale, and marketplace data for fashion and lifestyle brands. There is no evidence of any embedded finance offering — 42 is a pure vertical SaaS analytics vendor for retail merchandisers.
