Welcome to Aki — The Digital OS for Street Vendors

Aki is live. Here's what we're building, why it matters, and how street vendors across Brazil are already using it to grow their businesses.

2025-06-01 — Aki Team

We're thrilled to officially welcome you to Aki — the digital operating system for street and informal vendors. After months of building, testing, and learning alongside our first vendor cohort on the beaches of São Paulo, we're ready to share our story.

What is Aki?

Aki is a mobile-first marketplace that connects informal vendors — beach sellers, street food carts, barracas — with nearby customers in real time. Think of it as the digital layer that the informal economy never had.

For Vendors

With Aki, vendors get a digital storefront, real-time order management, mobile payments (including PIX), GPS discovery, and sales analytics. No tech experience required — we onboard you in under 30 minutes.

For Customers

Open the app, see nearby vendors on a map, browse their menus, order ahead, and pay with PIX or card. No more wandering the beach hoping to find your favorite açaí stand.

What's Next

We're starting in the beaches of São Paulo and expanding corridor by corridor. If you're a vendor who wants to join, or a city that wants to partner — we want to hear from you.

Welcome to the future of street commerce. Welcome to Aki. 🗺️
