Our take
Knowde is an online marketplace for the chemical industry, offering a single place for buyers and sellers to conduct transactions for all kinds of chemicals and chemical products. Knowde makes it easy to search for goods, compare products between sellers, and buy online with minimal fees and maximum convenience.
The company's founders have a background in chemicals and programming, and Knowde perfectly combines these two fields. The company was launched with a view to creating the chemical industry's first true online marketplace - a go-to online store for multiple verticals including food, pharmaceuticals, household and industrial chemicals.
Across the world, trillions of dollars worth of chemical transactions are happening every year, and Knowde makes its money by taking just a small percentage of these transactions. It has attracted impressive investment which supports further platform development, and already serves over 8000 suppliers - with thousands more potential clients in the market.
