Growsari

Growsari is helping to build the future of Sari Sari stores in the Philippines. Sari Sari stores are the largest retail channel and source of employment in the country, yet the average store owner barely makes her ends meet - stuck between an increasingly demanding customer and the middlemen traders who take away their earning potential with each sale. This chain of middle-men is no different from the travel industry in the 2000s (remember travel agents?), from the middle men in the insurance industry (remember insurance agents?) and many others which have gotten disrupted. We use technology to connect Sari Saris to companies directly, allowing owners to add up to 50% to their earnings. Add in new types products to sell (load selling, bills payment, remittance, banking, loans, insurance, store layouts, re-selling programs, billboards, e-commerce drop off points) and you see the potential to transform the industry in the Philippines. And later the rest of the developing world.
