Powered by People is a B2B wholesale platform that seamlessly connects makers in 46 countries with buyers in North America & beyond through secure transactions. We want to make ethical, sustainable and social-impact buying easy and risk free. The Creative Manufacturing and Handmade sector is one of the fastest growing global industries, yet it is slowed by communications and digital shortcomings. PBP solves this problem by providing a curated digital marketplace for buyers and makers to conduct business. The benefits are multiple. Buyers are able to customize and purchase products from a highly functional platform on flexible payment terms, leaving the international communication, payment and logistics to us. Makers—from Ghana to India to Guatemala—are able to massively expand their customer base simply by uploading their wares to the Powered by People site. And both makers and buyers can virtually track the manufacturing process every step of the way through our innovative PBP Produce tool. With team members in America, Canada, Kenya, India and Mexico, PBP connects all the dots, providing financing for the makers, facilitating orders and identifying the emerging trends that buyers want on their shelves. And it is the makers, perhaps, who stand to gain the most. When their small businesses thrive, they provide not just for themselves, but their employees, families and communities.
