Hi everyone, we’re Kunal and Michael from Smobi!
Smobi is a marketplace that makes it easy for buyers to purchase brick & mortar small businesses. We do this by verifying business listing data and managing deal-flow on our platform.
Website: smobimarket.com
For those looking to buy, we utilize first and third party data to screen listings, so buyers are looking at the complete picture of the business that is for sale. Buyers can keep track of the state of each of the listings they are interested in and manage deal flow on the platform.
Additionally, we create NDA protected data rooms with more in-depth documents for each listing on our website. If the broker / seller of the business thinks you’re a good match for buying the business, we send the data room to the buyer.
For those looking to sell their business, we create a comprehensive profile for each buyer that is interested in a listing that the seller has created. Using data that the buyer has provided and our internal business logic, we classify how well of a match a person is for your business, ultimately saving time in your search for a buyer.
Our long term vision is to digitize the entire acquisition process for main-street businesses, ultimately making small business ownership attainable for everyone.
Hi everyone, we are Kunal and Michael, and we are building Smobi. Our mission is to make small business ownership attainable by everyone.
Kunal formerly worked in Amazon Advertising, where he built several notification delivery channels that supported 10B+ communications annually. Kunal spent over 6 months in 2022 looking to purchase multiple SMBs and found the process of finding and purchasing a business to be extremely complex, especially for a first time buyer.
Before Smobi, Michael worked at another YC startup, Dover, as an early engineer where he worked on growth initiatives and building AI products.
Kunal and Michael grew up together, have known each other for 10 years, and now both reside in NYC. Together, we are attempting to simplify the small business acquisition process for all parties involved.
Thank you for reading about Smobi! We welcome any feedback for our platform as we are just beginning!
