Knowde: The Chemicals Marketplace
Ali Amin-Javaheri, Janakiraman Swamy, and Wojciech Krupa wanted to consolidate a gigantic market.
Knowde is a marketplace for ingredients, polymers, and chemistry. For the first time ever, you can search, learn, engage, sample, quote, and purchase from every major producer on earth — all in one place.
The founders of Knowde saw that the industry that enables the manufacturing of everything we physically touch had not yet reached the digital era. So they build the infrastructure to connect it.
Raw material suppliers are the hidden innovators behind the end-products we rely on every day. Chemistry is used to make every physical good on earth, including the machine you’re using the read this right now. However, it was still doing business the same way it did a hundred years ago.
Until now.
Today, Knowde is a marketplace to over eight thousand suppliers large and small, and over 180k products. Allowing manufacturers such as Unilever to find newer, smaller, up-and-coming suppliers especially in the field of sustainability.
From food, to beauty, to automotive.
Driving the world’s most impactful industry forward.
Knowde believes in the power of chemistry. They believe that easy and efficient access to information and raw materials enables you to work smarter and faster so you can continue to make a rich global impact.
