Cottage

Cottage is solving housing affordability by making it easy to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). Put simply, it is about running an online store from catalog to checkout.

It makes the most sense for retailers and brands. Alongside the main category they mention Architecture, Construction, Consumer Software, E-Commerce and Marketplace. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Cottage is based in San Francisco, California and around since 2019. You can read more at cotta.ge.

Our checklist for this category: transaction fees, themes, and app ecosystem. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.

If you have worked with Cottage, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
