THE PERSON BEHIND VERTICALFOUNDRY

Alexandru Stoica

Real business experience. Purpose-built tools.

Entrepreneur · E-commerce executive · Founder of VerticalFoundry

Alexandru has spent more than 25 years building businesses, leading teams and managing operations across e-commerce, retail, international distribution and digital services. Today, as Head of E-commerce at GSMnet, he leads GSMnet.ro and works across a network of 35+ international Shopify stores.

Earlier roles at Diverta Online, TicketPoint, RTC Holding, SAB Concept and WHI Romania taught him what it takes to build and run a business, not just talk about one. That experience informs VerticalFoundry, but every product still has to earn its own trust.

Why VerticalFoundry exists

VerticalFoundry grew from a practical belief: people who run service businesses deserve tools that make everyday decisions clearer, not more complicated.

Running a service business means making decisions about pricing, profitability, customers, capacity, operations and growth—often with information scattered across systems that do not work together.

Our aim is to make practical, industry-specific business tools accessible without unnecessary complexity. We begin with a real problem, design around the way people actually work, and explain what each tool can and cannot do before someone buys it.

We are preparing our initial portfolio. Product formats, features and availability will be disclosed in individual listings as they launch. VerticalFoundry is a brand operated by Quant Data Intelligence LLC.

THE HUMAN STORY

Where the resilience began.

Alexandru lost his mother before he turned six. His father’s work kept him away for much of his life, and he was raised by his maternal grandparents until he was eighteen. His grandmother was the steady presence at the center of those years.

That upbringing taught him to adapt, take responsibility for what he could change, and keep moving forward when the way ahead was not obvious. It also taught him how much it matters to have someone dependable in your corner.

WHERE MY STORY BEGAN

Some lessons stay with you for life.

This is one of the few photographs I have with my mother. I'm on the right, with my brother Dragoș on the left, and our mother holding us both.

Those early years taught me the importance of resilience, responsibility, and having someone you can depend on.

Alexandru Stoica · A family memory

In 2024, he survived three strokes and spent months in the hospital. As a father and an entrepreneur, the experience made the value of time even clearer — his own time, and the time of people trying to keep a business running.

That perspective shapes VerticalFoundry: start with a real problem, keep the solution useful, and respect the person who has to use it on a busy working day. Clear instructions, honest descriptions, meaningful functionality and fair pricing matter more than impressive claims.

His story explains why he cares. Each product must show whether it can help.

Our operating principles

Useful before impressive. We favor working tools, verified functionality and clear onboarding over feature lists. Specific over generic. Products must fit the real workflow of their industry. Transparent by design. We describe compatibility, product contents, terms and limitations before a purchase.
