About Us
Imagine Simple!
Our vision is to bring the farmers and manufacturers in front of the consumers to make the transaction a win-win for both
We have built a marketplace where consumers can directly connect with producers – farmers, manufacturers, sellers, etc. – to buy the products they need at a cheaper price. Additionally, by simplifying the process and eliminating the middlemen, the farmers and manufacturers can also get better price (hence, better margin) than they typically get by selling to distributors and wholesale buyers.
Our founder originally started this venture called kNEEBU in 2018, with the focus on connecting service providers like Handymen, Plumbers, Chef, etc. with homeowners looking for those services. The pilot was in the Chicagoland area and it started growing quickly in 2019. However, with the Covid-19, people were locked in their homes for months and this project was shut down until further notice. However, we started getting a lot of suggestions from our loyal customers to bring kNEEBU back so they could buy products ON Demand, directly from farmers and other manufacturers. While the requests kept coming in from local customers in the Chicagoland area, one Utah based company – Sugarloaf Valley Farms – saw us as an ideal partner to bring their fresh organic produce in front of consumers. Along came kNEEBU 2.0, which is now called NIBU!
We are excited to kick off NIBU and signing up sellers (farmers, manufacturers, small businesses, individual sellers, etc.) who want to bring their product directly in front of consumers.
Our Differentiators:
- Consumers can view price & availability upfront
- Consumers & Sellers can connect instantly with each other via chat and other mechanisms through our app
- Consumers can get products as and when they need.. On Demand
- Sellers set the price for each product they sell
- Sellers can list multiple products
- Only 10% platform fee for each transaction, which includes the 3% processing fees charged by payment processors like visa, Mastercard, stripe, PayPal, etc.
