PASSENGER.ME

In a nutshell: PASSENGER is like UBER for cross-border shopping. Shoppers order goods from overseas and get them delivered by travelers. We connect these people. Here's why: People living in emerging countries like Russia and Brazil all face the same problems when they want to shop for global goods: doubled prices and poor choice. International shipping can take 30 days or more. At the same time, travelers arrive in these countries every day, each of them with customs allowances of up to €10,000. Someone flying from United States to Moscow can deliver the goods on demand 6 times faster than international shipping. Even better: Our platform is a cross-border marketplace featuring 50 million goods, and escrow accounts to keep all transactions safe and guaranteed. Plus we've started earning money. Our business model is comprised of a 5% transaction fee, plus the affiliate commission from Amazon up 9%. Funds secured up to date - $300k, from angels and Axel Springer Plug and Play (Berlin).
