What is a token and why do you need to spend a thousand dollars on them per month to make the website work?
I am a 25-year-old professional with industry experience, and I have dedicated my life to developing a disruptive e-commerce platform that will transform the economy, empowering both entrepreneurs, SMEs, and large companies. This platform, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), optimizes business operations, improves the supply chain, and facilitates inventory management for companies, farmers, and cooperatives. My ambitious goal is to democratize access to business technology regardless of the size or location of organizations.
My personal story is deeply connected to this project. I grew up in a small town in southern Colombia, where financial limitations are evident. However, the global vision of our platform drives us to dream big and make this project a reality.
SMEs and farmers in rural areas face multiple challenges: limited access to advanced technology, lack of tools to optimize management, and difficulties reaching broader markets. Moreover, many struggle with inefficient supply chains and issues related to product quality and inventory.
Our solution:
We provide advanced AI tools to optimize operations and forecast market demand.
We support farmers and rural cooperatives in improving their operations, accessing new markets, and increasing product quality.
We enable both large and small businesses to efficiently sell in wholesale and retail markets.
What makes our platform unique is its ability to anticipate market needs through advanced AI. Companies will be able to:
Receive real-time demand predictions.
Automate inventory management to improve operational efficiency.
Use retail and wholesale channels to market products quickly.
Our MVP and beta prototype are operational and have demonstrated their viability. While we continue improving the platform, it is already ready to be implemented by companies in need of immediate solutions. It’s designed with the best UX and UI standards, and a tech stack including React Native.
From an early age, I have been fully committed to this project. At 25, I have relevant industry experience, having received scholarships and collaborated on impactful, experimental projects, which gives me a clear vision of how to achieve our objectives. I am fully dedicated to ensuring that businesses and communities most in need benefit from our platform.
I have sacrificed personal and economic opportunities to focus on this project, which will not only transform the economy but also positively impact the lives of thousands of people.
Use of Funds
Your investment will be allocated to several key areas essential for the growth and sustainability of the project:
Living Expenses: I am currently unable to pay for my own food and housing and do not live with my family. This investment will help cover these essential living costs, which will, in turn, create a less stressful and distraction-free environment. It will allow me to focus entirely on the project and dedicate more hours to its development without the burden of financial worries.
Equipment Upgrade: I have been developing this platform using a computer that is over six to seven years old, which significantly limits productivity. Part of the investment will be used to upgrade my computer, which will greatly enhance my efficiency and enable me to work more effectively.
Basic Services: Funding will also cover essential utilities such as electricity and water, which are vital to maintaining consistent work on the project. These funds will ensure that I can continue to operate in a stable environment, further committing myself to the success of this initiative.
Token Purchases: Additionally, a portion of the funds (approximately $1,000/month) will be allocated to purchase the hundreds of millions of tokens necessary to operate and expand our platform. These tokens are essential for ensuring the functionality of key aspects of our platform, and acquiring them in large volumes will enable us to scale and reach more users.
Only Me, and the people that can and want collaborate with us.
Investment is essential to continue progressing. The market is competitive, and some companies with bad practices could interfere with the positive impact we want to generate. We need funds for marketing and advertising, which will allow us to reach the right audience and consolidate our position as industry leaders.
Without strategic investment, we risk losing competitiveness and limiting our ability to expand to more communities that would benefit from our platform.
Our commitment is to continuous improvement. With the right investment, we will accelerate the development of new AI-based functionalities and scale our operations to global markets. Our long-term vision includes improvements in the supply chain, product quality, and the integration of technologies that will continue anticipating market needs.
For SMEs: We offer AI tools that optimize operations, increase sales, and improve inventory management.
For farmers and cooperatives: We help them access national and international markets, optimize production, and improve product quality.
For investors: They will gain financial benefits and the opportunity to participate in a technological revolution with social impact.
This project is more than just a technological solution; it is a personal mission to transform the lives of small entrepreneurs and farmers in Colombia, and eventually, in other developing countries. By supporting this project, investors will be contributing to empowering communities that have historically been marginalized.
The investment will not only drive technological development but also our marketing and advertising strategies, which are crucial to growing the platform and reaching more businesses. The communication effort will be key to positioning us and making our impact visible both locally and globally.
One of the risks we face is that the business model we have developed cannot be patented or registered, which makes it even more important to act quickly and secure our position in the market. Speed is crucial to prevent competitors from replicating our approach and capturing our potential market share. This is why securing investment now is so critical to our long-term success.

@NeelNanda A token is essentially a unit of value used within a particular system, often in the context of APIs. In this case, tokens are consumed every time we interact with the API, which is integral to the functionality of the project. However, it’s not just about spending $1,000 per month on tokens; the project itself is much larger and more complex.
To clarify, I’m currently covering my basic living expenses—food, rent, utilities—so that I can fully focus on this project, which I've been working on for the past 5 months. It's been a challenging journey, and I’m aware of the high costs and technical difficulties involved in developing a large language model (LLM). That's why we rely heavily on external APIs like OpenAI's to handle the required functionality.
It’s important to note that we’re not just building a website, but two connected platforms: one focused on operations and sales, and the other on administration, which is linked to an ecosystem of three additional apps. This ecosystem is designed to create a deeper market experience. So, while the current costs are high (I’ve already spent over $4,000 on the API), it’s crucial for the next stages of the project, especially as we focus on making it easier for key stakeholders—such as farmers and entrepreneurs who require non-virtual training—to integrate and adopt the system.
At this point, the project needs more resources, not just for the technical side but also for marketing, advertising, and expanding the team. I don’t currently have anyone helping with design or execution, which is necessary to gain more clients, penetrate the market, and make the impact we’re aiming for.
I believe the project is quite advanced, and I’m confident in its potential. I’d love to hear your thoughts or any additional questions you may have so we can continue improving and scaling.

Ah! You mean OpenAI API costs, I thought it was a weird crypto thing. I recommend clarifying this in the post

@NeelNanda I didn’t add because I’m still evaluating how convenient it would be to mention it right now. My plan is to first focus on developing the platform, but I have future plans to integrate blockchain technology and enhance decentralized operations through the use of agents.
Regarding investor opportunities, I have also projected offering tokens and other blockchain-related benefits:
Investor Opportunities
We offer several ways to participate, with scalable benefits depending on the level of investment, starting from $1,000 USD, although you can support us with as little as $1 USD:
Equity in the company.
Tokens or cryptocurrencies.
Exclusive NFTs related to the platform.
Early investors will have the opportunity to join a scalable business model that aims to revolutionize e-commerce and business operations in Colombia and beyond.
