About Sillable
Our team came together with the common vision of strengthening brick-and-mortar retail in New Haven. As ex-physicists, we saw that online shopping giants currently offer the path of least resistance, so we set about removing friction for shopping local.
Revitalize local markets while having fun
At Sillable we’re motivated to create a more sustainable and affordable way to consume, and to avoid the displacement of small sellers that play an integral role in crafting local culture.

Burton's background is in competitive Physics and robotics. As a double major in computer science and economics at Yale, he leads our technical development.
