About
Black Locus was an Austin, Texas-based SaaS pricing analysis and optimization platform for online retailers. Its cloud technology automatically scanned the competitive landscape and told retail customers which products were priced too low or too high, recommending pricing changes that maximized profits. Founded by Carnegie Mellon graduates Rodrigo Carvalho (CEO), Lukas Bouvrie (CCO), and Francisco Uribe (CTO), the company was acquired by The Home Depot in 2013 and its team went on to form Home Depot's data science and pricing innovation group.
