Business: Helping international brands sell products in China via social commerce.

Kuai are building scalable and affordable solutions for the most ambitious brands to sell their products D2C to Chinese Gen-Z consumers using the power of social commerce (the term used when making ecommerce sales directly via social media platforms), unlocking the $1.7tn Chinese ecommerce market for brands that otherwise couldn鈥檛 access it.
Social Commerce is huge within China鈥檚 unique digital ecosystem, with a $449bn GMV in 2021. Kuai partner with brands whose products suit the current trends and demands of Chinese Gen-Z consumers. The startup co-invest with their partner brands for long term success by providing them with extra marketing budget to launch their products successfully into China, as well as handling all logistics, back-office, payments and customer support. Helping them grow in the world鈥檚 largest ecommerce market.
The idea for Kuai commerce came about from a tech product James and Adam built in their agency Tong.Global called 鈥淲eCommerce鈥 – allowing brands to set up stores on WeChat – but the product had some issues that were not solvable in its current iteration, and there was still a huge demand from clients for a solution to sell in China. Kuai Commerce is that solution.
The Kuai founders set clear values from Day 1., wanting to build a world-class company for both people and partners, to always be selling, to hire for the right skills and combine a social consciousness with their success – carbon offsetting, planting trees and giving back where they can.
