AI enabled Real-time marketplace for informal street commerce in developing markets
Aki (getaki.app) is the live map for street vendors.

Every commerce app assumes the seller has an address. Street vendors don't. They move all day, so customers can't find them, and they end up walking and shouting, hoping someone sees them. People walk to McDonald's instead of Juan. Not because Juan is worse. Because Juan moves and McDonald's doesn't.

Aki fixes that. Customers open the app and see who's selling around them right now: the corn cart, the açaí stand, the ice cream guy on the beach. They order and pay in a few taps, then meet the vendor where they are. Vendors get a storefront, a menu, orders on the move and their own sales numbers, all from a phone. No fixed spot, website or card machine needed.

For companies that run vendor fleets, we're building Aki Console: live visibility of every cart, cash settlement, stock and compliance, without turning independent vendors into employees.

We call the category dynamic commerce: commerce where the seller moves. Beaches, streets, markets, festivals, events. Wherever there's one vendor and one customer, there's Aki.

The name comes from "aqui", Portuguese for "here". It's what vendors shout on the beach so people can find them: "Aki, estou aqui."

Where we are:

Launched June 2026 on the São Paulo coast in Brazil
Most customers come from vendors sharing their own Aki link
Delaware C-Corp (GoVeme, Inc.) headquartered in Los Angeles, with a team on the ground in Brazil
Supported by Sebrae-SP (Programa Pier), NVIDIA Inception and Thomson Reuters Foundation TrustLaw

Founded in 2025 by Victor Calfat Luzzi, who grew up on the Baixada Santista coast, where his mother sold food on the beach.

We're hiring people who want to build for the two billion people who work informally. If that's you, say hi.
