Introduction
Blackspace Platform provides an environment through which commerce between consumers and minority owned business can be facilitated.
Why Blackspace
Amazon does not do enough to empower minority owned businesses as well as enable the discovery of such businesses.
There are a lot of "logistics" to get right as we work on bringing our solution to light:
- How to incentivize businesses to onboard on blackspace?
- What ways can we better empower businesses?
- How to elevate the quality of social interactions on our platform?
- How can we transform our ecommerce solution to better fit various use cases?
Blackspace aims to be the complete ecommerce solution of the future.
Our main priorities are the following:
- Provide a marketplace: allow people to not only discover minority owned businesses but also buy from them.
- Empower businesses: provide businesses with a suite of product offerings to better drive traffic and growth.
- Analytics driven shopping experience: enable businesses and platform users to better tailor their content to elevate engagement.
