    "description": "A for-profit company built on social enterprise values \u2014 here to help small stores, takeouts, and suppliers. We connect a segregated, unsupported group of local businesses onto one platform so together they're as strong as the big box chains.",

    "service_type": "Local Marketplace, Restaurant, Supplier & Delivery Platform",
    "mission": "Independent stores, takeout restaurants, and suppliers each fight their own battle alone \u2014 small shops can't match big-box logistics, suppliers stay isolated from the retailers who'd buy from them, and takeouts juggle disconnected delivery apps with no ownership of their customers. United on one platform, equipped with an AI Cofounder and shared delivery infrastructure, they compete head-on with the big box.",
    "vision": "A future where small and medium businesses \u2014 stores, takeouts, suppliers, and the drivers who connect them \u2014 succeed with the same tools and reach as the big chains. Local is the new global.",
