About the company
Appkel helps small shops open a Telegram storefront and take orders with no sales commission, for a monthly subscription. Shops handle their own delivery. The team first worked on a 15-minute grocery delivery service, and with that idea took second place at the Glovo KG Startup Competition in 2023. The founder is Meder Stalbek.
AI analysis of the idea
Prepared by AIGive neighbourhood shops a Telegram storefront so they keep their customers and avoid aggregator commissions.
Strengths
- A subscription instead of a commission directly answers shops' frustration with aggregators.
- Buyers already use Telegram, so nobody has to be persuaded to install an app.
Growth outlook
- The country has many neighbourhood shops, and most of them do not sell online yet.
- With many shops in an area connected, the service can add shared delivery, advertising and payments.
