    In Latin America, as explained by Yala, “we are unique. We are talking about a portal where sellers can offer their collectible products (comics, manga, figures, etc.) to interested users through auctions and live stream shopping.” But if you think you’re facing a typical marketplace, you’re mistaken; keep reading and you’ll discover why.

    Yala (Peru) was selected by a jury as one of the 20 ideas receiving support from Santander X Explorer in a crowdfunding campaign: they’ve just launched it. Behind this project are Kate and Owen, “two passionate collectors” with the intention of creating a marketplace, yes, but one with many nuances and where security is paramount.

    For example, in addition to implementing a live shopping system on the platform, their idea involves collaborating “with stores and businesses of collectible items, increasing the number of users and clients, generating an impact in the collector community at a regional level, and obtaining commercial partners in distribution and last-mile logistics,” they explain.

    For this, they need (in addition to funding) collaborations,promotion, and support: their goal is to achieve this through their crowdfunding campaign. Click on the link and discover how to help them achieve their goal!

    You want to start a business, but not just any way, of course: the ideal is to do it without risking and connecting with a global community of people like you. And, moreover, with the possibility that your project will be chosen to launch its own crowdfunding campaign. The solution is Santander X Explorer: pre-register by clicking on the link and we’ll notify you when the next call opens.
