History
BigCommerce was founded in 2009 by Australians Eddie Machaalani and Mitchell Harper following a chance meeting in an online chatroom in 2003.[5][6] In August 2009, the two relaunched a hosted version of Interspire Shopping Cart called “BigCommerce”[7] and opened its first U.S. office.
BigCommerce was 100% bootstrapped[8] until July 31, 2011, when it closed $15 million in Series A funding from General Catalyst Partners.[9]
In July 2020, BigCommerce filed for IPO.[10][11]
