## About Blanka

VC Fund · Vancouver, Canada

Blanka is a platform that helps anyone start a makeup or skincare line by automating the process of branding products. Blanka gives merchants access to cruelty-free products manufactured in North America, with no minimum order quantity - all through an app that works with any ecommerce store. Traditionally, if someone wanted to start their ownproduct line, they would spend hours vetting suppliers, they would have to make a large upfront investment in inventory to meet minimum order requirements, and they would have to manage the logistics related to shipping products to their end customer. With Blanka, merchants no longer have to deal with these headaches.
