Zimi (YC S24) is building Fulfillment by Amazon for exporters in emerging markets. They help merchants deliver to their international buyers in 2 days instead of 2 weeks, and for a fraction of the cost— typically 80% cheaper. Cross-border e-commerce will be a $2 trillion opportunity by 2030, with 64% of that expected to come from emerging markets across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. However, merchants in these regions face major challenges like high shipping costs, lengthy delivery times, and complex logistics. Zimi solves these problems by localizing inventory, handling customs clearance and last-mile delivery, and streamlining the returns process. Their turnkey solution makes selling internationally as easy as selling locally. Founders Audrey Djiya and Peter Nsaka met in graduate school at Stanford, bonding over the successful entrepreneurs who inspired them (like Audrey's great-grandmother Zimi). After enabling commerce at companies like Shopify, they're now on a mission to empower the next generation of merchants in emerging markets, unlocking billions in revenue by making global commerce accessible. Congrats on the launch, Audrey and Peter! 🚀 https://lnkd.in/gkC58pYe
