Our Mission

Democratizing Global Trade — Starting with Ukraine

We believe every supplier — whether a family farm in Poltava or a steel mill in Zaporizhzhia — deserves direct access to the global market. And every buyer deserves transparent, reliable sourcing partners without opaque intermediaries inflating the price.

Our platform combines a proprietary database of $24B+ in Ukrainian export records with AI-powered matching (Sofiia), advanced procurement tools (Tender Board, Group Buying), and a logistics directory — making professional-grade B2B sourcing accessible to businesses of all sizes.

We started with Eastern Europe and we're expanding to serve suppliers and buyers worldwide. The future of trade is transparent, fair, and powered by real data.

Why Ukraine?

Ukraine is one of the world's top 10 exporters of grains, sunflower oil, steel, and chemicals — yet finding and verifying Ukrainian suppliers has historically been difficult for international buyers due to fragmented information and language barriers.

We built the most comprehensive database of Ukrainian supplier profiles, enriched with real customs export data, trade certifications, and verified contact information. This database is the foundation of Faktorist and what makes our supplier matching genuinely useful.

Today, we serve buyers from Germany, Poland, Turkey, Egypt, the UAE, the UK, the US, and dozens of other countries who rely on Faktorist to find, verify, and connect with Ukrainian exporters.
