Sell it abroad before you make it.
An export platform for Korean food makers. We test overseas demand with pre-orders first, make it once enough is ordered, and take what the round showed to buyers.

Round 01 openMakers need to make a lot. Buyers want to buy a little.
A round lets both happen at once. Shoppers fill the gap between a buyer's small test order and the factory's minimum run.
-
01
Two rounds open together. Shoppers in one target market pre-order, and buyers and creators place small test orders.
-
02
The two are counted together. When shopper pre-orders and buyer orders reach the minimum run between them, it goes into production.
-
03
Short of it, everyone is refunded in full. Shoppers and buyers alike. Nothing is made, so nothing is left over.
IN DEVELOPMENT
A product that is not finished yet opens the shopper round only. What is unfinished is stated plainly on the round page.
You made something good. You do not know if it sells abroad.

WHAT WE DO
-
Round setup
We build the round page and run it. Price, minimum and deadline are public from day one.
-
Labelling
Labels that meet the rules of the target market.
-
Ads
We set up ads that reach shoppers in the target market. A round nobody sees is not a test of anything.
-
Freight
When you need it, we connect you with vetted freight and logistics partners.
-
Market report
What the round showed, in numbers, yours to keep.
-
Buyer matching
We take that report to buyers and introduce you.

Buyer catalogue
Once your product has run a round, it stays in the catalogue we send to buyers.

An introduction
If a product interests you, we put you in front of the maker.
A LINE
We do not certify anything. What leaves us is a record of what happened in one round, with no names in it. The judgement is yours.
Every round plants mangroves
The company that opens a round donates a set number of mangroves for every box sold, planted with Veritree and recorded under the round's name. We never collect donations from shoppers, and we do not claim it offsets anything.
Factories, freight and customs
Not customers. The orders we bring you are already counted, already paid for, and have a name on every unit before the line starts.
The ones we get asked before anything else.
Nothing is manufactured and every shopper and buyer is refunded in full. A round that stops costs a few weeks. A first production run that stops costs the company.
Yes, the shopper round only. What is unfinished is stated plainly on the round page, and the price and the date do not move once it opens.
Because the order is small. A buyer tests the product in their own market without committing to a full first order, and the round shows how shoppers there responded.
You get the market report, your product goes into the catalogue we send to buyers, and we use the numbers to find and introduce buyers. The catalogue listing stays after the round.
The company that opens the round, a set number for every box sold. We never collect donations from shoppers, and the record is kept per round, not per person.
Tell us what you want to make and we will tell you if a round fits.
Two business days, from a person. If a round is the wrong tool for what you are doing, we will say that instead.
