The Vision

To bring the efficiency and transparency of financial markets to industrial procurement. Every manufacturer should be able to trade components like stocks - with real-time pricing, instant execution, and complete transparency.

Having seen the inefficiencies in traditional procurement through my experience in renewable energy and e-commerce, I realized that industrial supply chains are stuck in the past while financial markets have evolved rapidly.
