Prometei: a startup that enables earning on marketplaces without owning any products

Sellers on marketplaces face some big challenges. Some invest millions and can’t sell their products, while others struggle to balance e-commerce with their day jobs. With seven years of experience in the marketplace industry, Daulet Batyrbek has seen it all. During this time, he became an official retailer for Marvel and even reached out to Jeff Bezos about issues with Amazon. With this wealth of experience, Daulet decided to become a modern-day Prometheus—bringing fire to the people—and founded Prometei. This B2B aggregator connects sellers with suppliers and marketplaces. In an exclusive interview with ER10 Media, he shared how his startup is solving some of the biggest problems in e-commerce.


Prometei makes the entire process easier—from investment to delivery to the final customer. By subscribing to our platform, users get access to thousands of suppliers and half a million products with ready-to-use photos and descriptions. You don’t need to make a huge investment. With Prometei, you can buy even a single unit at wholesale prices.

«Right now, our clients are all in Kazakhstan. But through the Google for Startups accelerator program at Astana Hub, which we were selected for, we’re working on expanding to Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. These countries are officially on platforms like Wildberries and Ozon, and in Uzbekistan, the marketplace Uzum is gaining momentum. The recent push by Kaspi bank to enter the Uzbek market and acquire the Umo payment system is a strong indicator. E-commerce penetration in Uzbekistan is lower than in Kazakhstan, but the market has huge potential. We’ve run the numbers, analyzed the data, and forecasted that it’s a very promising market. We’ve already found partners to help us with this expansion», said Daulet Batyrbek.
