The vending industry marketplace built on trust

"We're passionate about creating meaningful connections and building a positive impact on the vending industry."
01

How did it all begin?

David wanted to buy and place his first vending machine. Facebook had plenty of inventory — but also plenty of risk: how do you trust a stranger, verify a machine works and find a quality location to place it? There was no good answer.

02

The epiphany

David's epiphany: vending machine operators were extremely underserved. What they needed was a safe, secure, and dedicated marketplace — and nobody had built it yet.

03

But how would he build it?

Not having the chops to start a tech company, David went hunting for the right partner. After months of searching he found Yoav — a seasoned technologist with 15+ years building companies from the ground up, who'd always been passionate about helping less-tech-savvy people do more on the web. When Yoav heard the idea, he thought: what better industry to modernize?
