About Aroxo
Aroxo provides a completely (and genuinely) new way to buy and sell online. Rest assured that we are not an auction site or a shopping comparison site. Only on Aroxo can UK buyers say what they’ll pay on any of the thousands of products on our site. We then help sellers present personalised offers to the buyer. When you’ve received an offer you can even negotiate on it for an even better deal, or just buy straight away for a fast check-out!
Here are 10 important facts about Aroxo:
- Only on Aroxo can buyers “Say what they’ll pay”
- Aroxo buyers can negotiate on items to get a really great deal during the credit crunch
- Aroxo launched on Thursday 30th April
- The two co-founders behind Aroxo are Matt Rogers and Andrew Culpan
- Aroxo was voted UK’s Hottest Start-up 2009 at the LBS London Technology Summit
- Aroxo was named as one of Europe’s most promising start-ups by The Next Web
- Aroxo has been in development for over 2 years
- In that time our team has completed over 15 man-years of development effort and written over 250,000 lines of code (that’s a lot!)
- Aroxo employs 10 people
- Aroxo is privately financed
We could continue the list but would prefer to talk to you - simply drop us a line for more information

The Aroxo co-founders
Aroxo was born from the imaginations of Andrew Culpan and Matt Rogers. They are both very active online (follow Matt on Twitter), but were frustrated by the buying and selling experiences which you could find online. They noticed that negotiating in stores was very common, but just didn’t happen online. They didn’t think this was fair. So they created Aroxo.
Andrew Culpan, is a true Yorkshireman. Professionally he was the Vice President of Strategy at MTV UK & Ireland and before that a Strategist at Orange. Andrew has also travelled around the world taking photographs.
Matt Rogers has spent the last few years around mobile phones working for T-Mobile and Orange. Before that he was a management consultant (although he wouldn’t employ one now!) doing market design and economics. He’s also travelled the world, and his photographs are substantially superior to his co-founders.
