Our ecosystem is positioned to solve supply chain complexities, focusing on day-to-day operational activity from environmental damages, visibility gaps to trust between parties, and fragmented data exchange.While incentivizing supportive Kols, Resellers, and Ambassadors, we are naturally amplifying the benefits of a network effect required to enable circular business applications that are forming the nodes of our infrastructure - paving the way for Nexity to become the global standard in any supply chain activity and for all stakeholders from manufacturers, distributors to consumers and recyclers.Manufacturers will no longer have to worry about how the product is performing after is leaving the factory because we are creating a digital twin of their products to capture data along each consumption step of their lifecycle, including real-time lifespan data and performance, environmental impact, stories, and events - everything to protect their brand and to create a never-before-seen connection with their customers and partners.Retailers will no longer worry about old, web-based user experiences and low/no interaction between products and customers. We augment the entire buying process in a reactive, living system experience that virtually connects the customers with the products they love.Customers will no longer have to research if a product is authentic manually, the brand is responsible, or even the processes behind arranging the atoms inside of the things they are looking for because of Nexity’s combo between digital twins and product tracking. | $865K / Pre-Seed / Jan 15, 2022 | |
