Company mission
To build a platform for retailers that embraces Conversational Commerce, democratizes the concierge experience for online shoppers, connects people with real product experts, and delights customers across their entire buying journey.
Our take
E-commerce today is completely do-it-yourself. But when you’re shopping in certain categories or for specific use cases, you can be completely under-qualified or might just not have the energy to research everything you need to know before buying the product.
Moreover, in an era of soulless bots and AI 86% of users want to shop with a real human.
Humankind is the first Conversational Commerce SaaS platform that allows any brands/retailers/services to layer in 1:1 personalized, human-led selling experiences by SMS at scale. By meeting consumers where they are - humans with humans - brands dramatically increase their sales.
The startup has impressive momentum, already booking work with the likes of Unilever. Recent raises in capital will be deployed to capitalise on all this demand and accelerate growth.
