We are Powered by People. We believe the future of wholesale is small-batch and responsibly made.
We enable independent, diverse makers and brands by providing access to
markets, financing, and digital tools. We make it easy for buyers to source differently.

With backgrounds in retail, design, tech and international development, we created Powered by People to be a company built on more than just its bottom line—but one that could make a genuine impact. We work to provide sustainable economic opportunities to independent makers by providing them access to the global economy. They, in turn, strengthen the lives of their employees, families and communities, potentially impacting millions worldwide.

Our Vision;
Connecting the world to a new creative economy - powered by people.

Our well-curated, digital wholesale marketplace partners with diverse makers from more than 70 countries, all of whom focus on small-batch production of responsibly made goods. Which is exactly the kind of products that more and more consumers are demanding, as they want transparency into the goods they purchase. Many of our makers offer significant output capacity by merging heritage-craft techniques with modern manufacturing capabilities. All adhere to fair-employment and sustainable practices, and a majority are women led.

Our innovative tech and financial solutions enable independent brands to easily upload and manufacture their wares. And they allow retail buyers to seamlessly and confidently purchase these distinct goods. By removing the friction from what is too often a time-consuming, complicated process, we take care of the laborious hassles so our buyers and makers don’t have to.

Since its launch in June 2021, Powered by People has grown to become a truly global company. With team members strategically located in the US, Canada, Kenya, India, Mexico, Turkey and the UK, PBP provides real-time support to its community of more than 700+ maker partners — which are spread across 70+ countries. We will continue to work to expand our community because that is what’s best for our maker partners.

At Powered by People, we see the power of technology enabling human capital, rather than displacing it. In an age of automation, we see the beauty in handmade. With offices around the world, we understand firsthand the challenges and complexities that makers face today.
