About NearSt NearSt’s mission is to get people back into high-street shops. Our technology connects retailers' in-store inventory data to the web’s biggest platforms, like Google, Meta, and Uber, helping get millions of online shoppers into physical stores. If you’ve ever seen a product in Google that says “available 0.3 miles away” on it, there’s a good chance we’re providing the data.

The world of retail is changing dramatically, and shoppers are going online to find products offline, in their physical stores more than ever. We’ve nearly tripled our revenue in the past year, and now have eyes on expanding internationally, backed by some of the best people and investors in the world of retail.
