We Have Dreams: A Thriving Market for All

The world of e-commerce should be a world of opportunities for everyone, but it hasn’t been. Existing marketplaces such as Amazon squash margins of small vendors, and minority/women-owned businesses—who already face many other challenges—are pushed away from the opportunity of offering their products and services on these platforms.

Consumers from minority groups are also faced with expensive products (that vendors on large platforms need to price higher to cope with high marketplace fees), putting an even stronger strain on their already slim personal finances.

In a nutshell, BuySellBlack is the marketplace that economically embodies the principles of the ‘I Have a Dream’ speech of Dr. Martin Luther King: every business and consumer should find opportunities to produce, sell, and buy what they have to offer or what they need as consumers without any form of discrimination—namely economic discrimination rooted in inequality issues.

Zero Seller Fees Means Higher Profits

As a commission-free marketplace, BuySellBlack bets on a different business model. We don’t cause a 30% overhead to be added to products or services due to extremely high seller fees. Instead of pushing vendors and consumers away, we bring them into the marketplace by making it affordable to everyone.

To summarize, as a business, BuySellBlack does not aim to make high profits per sale—we aim to make high profits based on volume and the special value-added services offered to vendors and also to buyers.

Catering to Different Industries

Sellers on BuySellBlack will be able to offer a range of goods and services from electronics, fashion, and groceries to consulting, catering, and gardening services. Sellers will also be able to host auctions, digital products, offer subscription,  booking, and reservation services—always having the add-on option of boosting sales by running advertisements.

A Marketplace that Makes a Difference

As a marketplace, BuySellBlack also sets itself apart from competitors by:

• Being a Peer-to-Peer Platform: Using a Web 3.0 blockchain technology to facilitate peer to peer transactions
• Rewarding Members: Offering small membership plans and fees to create incentive programs and rewards for buyers
• Staying Committed to Transparency and Privacy: Giving users voting rights for product improvements and letting them be in full control of their data

We Are The Future: Will You Build It With Us?

BuySellBlack represents a massive opportunity for profits. Yes, we are a socially mindful business wanting to drive a positive impact on our society, but we’re tying that goal to a well-structured business model that has as much room to grow as the demographic trends that support it.

• The U.S. has over 44 million foreign-born people living in the country, representing over 14% of the population
• Americans from minority groups are growing exponentially as demographic groups whereas white Americans are declining as a demographic group
• The social and demographic landscape is projected to further change
• The declining white population is projected to keep giving way to increasing non-white Americans
• Albeit not as fast and significantly as desirable, minority groups are experiencing increasing income growth
• Minority/women-owned businesses are claiming a higher market share in the consumer market
• Millennials and Generation X consumers are increasingly motivated to support minority-owned businesses

Based on these trends and the way BuySellBlack is positioned to leverage them, this major shift affecting the American consumer behemoth provides a unique investment opportunity. Will you help build and shape this future with us?

Management Team

Andre Robinson, Founder and CEO

In 2018, despite personal challenging circumstances, and the hardship of being a solopreneur, I was honored and awarded a Certificate of Recognition from the New York City Comptroller, Scott M. Stringer for my extensive contributions to the Minority/Women owned business community. In short, I am the living proof that one’s circumstances do not matter provided that we have the determination to re-build and create value. With BuySellBlack, I want to help other entrepreneurs to find the opportunity and marketplace they need to be successful business people and to give back to their community.
