The transaction costs in B2B Marketplaces

As platforms evolve, it’s no longer just about connecting buyers and sellers - it's about streamlining everything that happens around that transaction. Think about all the time and effort that goes into finding, contacting, and vetting suppliers or customers. What if a platform could help cut down all that back-and-forth communication and make it easy to close deals faster? That's where the true value lies - hidden transaction costs to boost productivity.


Why hiring an expert pays off

Founders often have a strong desire to maintain control over all aspects of their business, understandably. However, realising that experts can bring unique skills and perspectives can be a crucial step in our growth as Founders.


Decoding reviews & audits for the platform business

As Founders, we are so close to our business, it makes sense that many times we would not even be aware of the blindspots in the platform we are building. Reviews are a good sense check to uncover these potential blind spots and it doesn't HAVE to be a thorough audit that can problem solve, reviews are a great starting point to sense check how we are really doing with our platform business.


Top 10 Client Philosophy

The constraint itself (of having only 10 clients) is the source of creativity to overcome the constraint and build a business that’s even stronger than we have now. With every new prospect that we want to take on we need to ask which client will we let go? It should be the one that we have the least exchange of value with, the one with whom we lack meaningful connection, the one who lacks depth of relationship. This will make us even more successful. Focussing on meaningful connections. Not just for us, but for our clients' betterment too. To hold us both accountable in investing in our shared success.
