Markato opened its wholesale marketplace in Hong Kong

The marketplace launched in Hong Kong, connecting independent brands from the United States, Europe and Australia with retailers across Asia. It handles the international payments, logistics and buy now pay later terms that usually keep brands out of new markets.

We backed Markato because a curated marketplace works for both sides of this trade. Retailers trust the selection, brands reach buyers they could not find on their own, and every brand added widens the catalogue that keeps retailers coming back. Global brands are looking to Asian retail for growth, and the timing suits a platform that removes the language, payment and shipping friction in their way.
