Who we are
Our Story
Here at Mercury we are on a constant quest to find new and innovative products most shoppers may have never seen before, Giving small Inventors, innovators and developers a chance to showoff their products, ideas and ingenuity. Our Goal is to bring these products to the consumer in a safe, fun and efficient way. While most companies are only concerned with getting you to buy what they’re selling, we’re focused on bringing you things worth buying.
Sure, ultimately what we find are products. But what we bring you is much bigger than that. It’s a choice. It’s a future. It’s a world where better ideas win.
Since consumer purchases represent 65% of the US economy, what you buy is a powerful way to change the world. And that is our goal. We are on a mission to fundamentally change the way people launch, discover, share, and purchase products. Whether it’s tech and innovation, sustainable or social enterprises, American made or handcrafted products, underrepresented entrepreneurs looking for a fair opportunity, or all of the above, you can use your dollar to support the values you believe in.
What We Do
Mercury is a product discovery platform where we help amplify innovative and unique consumer products from Makers, inventors and small businesses to a community of 3.5 million supporters and early-adopters.
Weekday we launch at least one new product. Our goal is to improve the way consumer products are launched, discovered, shared, and purchased.
The Mercury goal is to discover products in all categories, many of which will become household names like FitBit, GoldieBlox, IdeaPaint, OtterBox, PopSockets, SimpliSafe, SodaStream, and many others.
The Mercury Discovery team spends most of their time seeking and tracking down innovative and unique products. Although thousands are tested every year, only a small percent are added to The Mercury website for sale and distribution to customers.
The Mercury Scouts will help tell the story behind the product and the company, producing in-house editorial, video, and lifestyle photography.
