Connect Ethiopians with people abroad who can buy or bring products they need.

The problem: Finding authentic products in Ethiopia is hard — many goods are unavailable, overpriced, or counterfeit. People rely on friends or relatives traveling from abroad to buy and bring items, but finding a trusted traveler at the right time is pure luck. Today this happens informally in Telegram and Facebook groups with no accountability: no ratings, no records, no recourse when something goes wrong. How EthioBring solves it: It turns that informal network into a structured peer-to-peer marketplace. Buyers in Ethiopia post exactly what they need with a store link (Amazon, eBay, etc.), budget, and deadline. Travelers and diaspora members returning home post their trips — route, date, and spare luggage capacity — and match with requests along their way, earning a fee they negotiate directly. Trust is built into every step: negotiations stay in in-app chat, travelers upload purchase receipts to prove authenticity, deals move through a tracked six-stage lifecycle (proposed → agreed → purchased → in transit → delivered → confirmed), and both sides rate each other afterward. Optional admin-managed escrow holds payment until delivery is confirmed. Evidence-based reports, dispute resolution, ID verification, and deal caps for unverified users protect both sides — all in English and Amharic, mobile-first.
The Problem
Ethiopians struggle to access genuine products from abroad due to limited local availability, high prices, expensive shipping, and difficulty finding trusted people to buy or bring products.
The Solution
EthioBring connects people in Ethiopia with travelers and people abroad who can buy or bring products they need. Users can post requests or trips, match, chat, negotiate, track deals, and build trust through verification and ratings, with optional escrow for added payment protection.
Who It's For
EthioBring is for Ethiopians who need products from abroad, travelers who have space to bring products to Ethiopia, and people living abroad who can source or sell products to buyers in Ethiopia. It also serves diaspora communities and small businesses seeking easier access to international products.
What Makes It Different
EthioBring is a peer-to-peer marketplace rather than a traditional online store or shipping company. It directly matches people who need products with travelers and people abroad who can buy or bring them. Its Ethiopia-focused approach combines trip matching, direct negotiation, user verification, ratings, deal tracking, and optional escrow to make cross-border buying more accessible and trusted.

Kabu is a ConTech marketplace simplifying product discovery and sourcing across the construction induistry.
The construction industry remains highly fragmented. Builders, homeowners, architects, engineers, and contractors often spend significant time searching for materials, comparing suppliers, verifying product information, and checking availability. This results in delays, inefficiencies, and limited visibility into the products available in the market. What Kabu Solves Kabu is building a complete digital ecosystem that connects design, specification, sourcing, and procurement into one streamlined platform. By bringing construction products, materials, and suppliers together, Kabu enables users to discover, compare, and connect with trusted suppliers efficiently, reducing time and uncertainty throughout the project lifecycle. Through 3D.Kabu.et, architects, interior designers, and engineers can access digital product libraries and integrate real-world products directly into their designs from the earliest project stages. This allows design decisions to be made using actual materials and products available in the market, creating a seamless workflow from concept development to material sourcing and project execution. By bridging the gap between manufacturers, suppliers, and design professionals, Kabu creates greater transparency, improves decision-making, and simplifies the entire construction supply chain making every step from design to delivery clearer, faster, and more efficient.
