B2B Is Broken — That’s Why We’re Building Prodnet
Every founder says they’re solving a problem. We didn’t realize how broken the B2B space really was — until we started trying to fix it. If you’ve ever tried to grow your business using current B2B platforms, you probably know the feeling: Endless product listings but no real buyers. Paying for leads that never reply. Being ignored because you’re not in a Tier 1 city. Watching others with lesser products get more attention — because they know how to game the system. We’ve lived that pain too. And that’s exactly why Prodnet was born. 🧠 What We Discovered After Going Deep Our early assumption was simple: B2B businesses just need a place to show off their products. But after talking to real businesses, suppliers, buyers, and manufacturers — we saw something deeper. ❌ The platforms out there aren’t failing because they don’t have enough features. They’re failing because they’ve stopped caring about real business growth. We uncovered 4 major pain points: 1. Visibility Doesn’t Equal Trust Anyone can upload a product photo and write “premium quality.” Buyers are tired of unverified listings and ghost suppliers. 2. Lead Generation Feels Like Gambling You pay for 10 leads. You hear back from 1. Maybe. The system is broken — and businesses are losing money chasing shadows. 3. Discovery Is Broken Buyers are shown irrelevant results. Suppliers don’t know where to focus. Platforms want to keep you scrolling — we want to get you results. 4. Tier 2 & 3 Cities Are Ignored Some of the most competitive products come from smaller regions — yet they’re buried under big players. That ends now.

What Will Prodnet DO?
🔹 What is Prodnet?
Prodnet is a platform built to empower manufacturers, buyers, and suppliers — especially those often overlooked by mainstream B2B systems. We’re not just listing products. We’re building real connections that lead to real growth.
Our mission is simple:
To help great products get discovered, trusted, and sold — no matter where they're made.
🔹 Who is Prodnet for?
If you’re a supplier who’s tired of being ignored, or a buyer who’s tired of chasing flaky leads, Prodnet is built for you.
We focus on:
✅ Trusted connections
✅ High-intent demand
✅ Transparent supplier discovery
✅ Tier 2 & 3 city empowerment
✅ basically everyone having a business
🔹 How much does it cost?
During our early access phase, it’s completely free to join and get matched.
When we launch full features, we’ll offer transparent pricing based on the value you get not just clicks or views.
No hidden fees. No bloated costs. Just growth.
We make money only when you make money, Sounds Good.
🔹 I’ve been burned by B2B platforms before. Why trust Prodnet?
Because we’ve been burned too.
We’re not backed by vague venture promises — we’re built by founders who’ve walked in your shoes and felt the same frustration.
We’ve talked to over 100+ businesses — from first-time exporters to experienced manufacturers in small towns — and every conversation revealed the same truth:
The platforms out there aren’t helping you grow.
They’re helping themselves grow — at your expense.
Prodnet exists because we realized no one was listening to the real builders of the economy — the businesses making things happen on the ground. You’re not just a number in a database. You’re a business that needs clarity, connection, and trust to thrive.
So, why trust us?
✅ Because we’re not charging you to gamble on leads — we’re helping you connect with verified intent.
✅ Because we’re not showing you ads — we’re showing you opportunities.
✅ Because we believe your business matters, even if you’re not in a metro city or paying the most.
We’re building a new kind of B2B platform — one where the rules are designed for growth, not gatekeeping.
🔹 What if I don’t see immediate results?
Think of this as your first-mover advantage. The platform is growing — but those who join early will shape what comes next and get priority support, visibility, and trust badges others won’t have later.
They will have to earn those badges and trust from others using the platform.
🔹 What industries does Prodnet support?
We’re starting with manufacturing, retail products, raw materials, and regional specialties, and expanding quickly based on demand.
If your business creates, trades, or sources real products — you’re in the right place.
Empower global commerce.
