About Us
At mpaqt, we believe in the power of sharing—sharing underutilized space, time, talent, and business acumen to generate revenue while helping others build and expand their distribution channels. Our mission is rooted in community and collaboration, creating a network where small businesses can thrive together rather than compete in isolation.
Our Story
mpaqt was born out of a simple yet profound idea: that small businesses could achieve more by working together. Our founder, Alex Gorelik, envisioned a world where cooperation, not competition, defines success. Reflecting on his journey, Alex shared, “I realized that some of the most innovative solutions come from looking beyond traditional business playbooks. mpaqt isn’t just a platform; it’s a movement to empower small businesses to collectively unlock their potential.”
Inspired by grassroots community-building and concepts borrowed from humanitarian relief efforts, Alex and our team developed a unique ecosystem. This system combines shared resources, decentralized participation, and innovative tools to help small businesses serve their customers more efficiently and effectively.
What We Do
mpaqt is a small business fulfillment ecosystem that fosters cooperation rather than competition. Our marketplace is designed for retailers of all kinds—Amazon stores, Shopify sites, Etsy sellers, or brick-and-mortar shops—to join forces in servicing their customers. Here’s how we’re different:
- A Virtuous Network: Every member of our ecosystem participates in a virtuous cycle, leveraging shared resources and collective power to drive growth.
- Grassroots Principles: We prioritize people helping one another, valuing community-building over traditional MBA-led philosophies of isolated individualism.
- Innovative Tools: Borrowing from humanitarian supply chain processes, we’ve developed tools like group buying and community pickup/dropoff stations to streamline operations.
- Empowering Small Businesses: Our software incentivizes decentralized participation, allowing small businesses to compete with mega retailers without falling into the traps of gig economy exploitation.
Each member brings unique perspectives and skills, enabling mpaqt to innovate and create solutions that resonate deeply with small business owners.
Our diverse team brings a rich tapestry of experiences, united by a shared passion for empowering small businesses:
