🌐 It's Founder Friday! Today, we shine the spotlight on Markato and its founders, Brian L. and Martin Li. Their vision is reshaping Asia's B2B wholesale market by connecting retailers with premium independent brands from across the globe through a seamless digital platform. 💡 Identifying a gap in the market, Brian and Martin launched Markato to empower Asia’s retailers with easy access to a diverse range of international brands from the US, Europe, and Australia. They've simplified global sourcing to feel as local as your neighbourhood shop, eliminating upfront costs and commitments. 💻 With its innovative platform, Markato enables seamless integration with cross-border payment and comprehensive logistics functionality, allowing retailers and buyers a 20% savings on transaction costs. It goes beyond by offering a 60-day Buy-Now-Pay-Later option and 90-day free returns to reduce retailers' risk. 🌐 Since the launch, Markato has expanded its team and partnered with over 500 brands, the majority of which come from Europe, the United States, and Australia. With 70% of these brands being new to Asia and 80% exclusively available through Markato, retailers now have access to a diverse catalogue of over 20,000 products. 🚀 Since the beginning, Markato has been about more than just transactions; it's about building a community where retailers can discover, connect, and flourish. Under Brian and Martin's leadership, Markato is setting new standards in the B2B marketplace and quickly becoming the go-to platform for retailers seeking to diversify their offerings with quality international products. 📈 With an eye on expansion, Markato continues to address the underserved needs of Asia retailers and global brands by advancing the marketplace’s proprietary technology, optimizing logistics infrastructure, and innovating data-driven products.
