What is Basket Next?

Not a conventional accelerator

Salla Next was designed for founders building AI products that serve both the merchant and the customer, granting them the environment that any product needs to succeed: a real market, a strong technical infrastructure, and practical expertise from the team that built Salla.


Instead of starting with an investment pitch, we start with the hardest thing for any founder: access. We connect your product to the largest commerce ecosystem in the region, provide you with a technical infrastructure that scales with its needs, and share with you expertise and insights based on real commerce being shaped every day.


The program spans 8 weeks, and admission does not require any equity. If your product proves its value in the market, we will discuss the most appropriate next step with you: partnership, investment, or acquisition.

Swiply has transitioned to Salla Ads

We acquired Swipely and worked with its founders to integrate it into Salla as an advertising tool serving thousands of merchants. Today, it is recognized as one of the fastest-growing marketing solutions on the platform.

What does "intelligence-led trade" mean?

Simply put: AI agents working in commerce. For the merchant, they manage their store, and for the customer, they buy on their behalf. This is the topic of the first batch.

My products are AI, but not exactly agents, should I still apply?

Yes — smart categories and quick search make operation easier and more accurate, no matter how many products you have.

Why should I pitch to you instead of growing on my own?

The hardest part of any product is reach. Salla opens the door for you to reach more than 68,000 merchants from day one, instead of years spent building it on your own.

Are you going to take my product or a share of it?

We are a business partner that walks with you, and depending on your product and its stage, we offer: partnership, integration, or acquisition. Everything is agreed upon together, and with complete clarity from the start.

My product is not finished yet, should I still apply?

Already have a product that works, even with just your first few customers? Come join us. Still just an idea? We love your enthusiasm, but wait for us a bit until your product is ready for us to try.

When will I get a response?

Already have a product that works, even with just your first few customers? Come join us. Still just an idea? We love your enthusiasm, but wait for us a bit until your product is ready for us to try.

I don't have a profile or a formal offer.

It's fine. Show us a working demo or a link to try out; a working product speaks for itself.
