## About

Based in New York, US, and founded in 2023 by CEO Audrey Djiya and CTO Peter Nsaka, Zimi offers innovative cross-border commerce solutions that facilitate global shipping for brands. In December 2024, Zimi raised USD 2 million in seed funding led by Fearless Fund, with participation from Y Combinator.

Zimi's core offerings center around cross-border commerce solutions that facilitate global expansion for international brands. The platform enables businesses to ship products globally from the U.S., with services that include order fulfillment, inventory management, and local reverse logistics. By storing products in Zimi's warehouses, clients can enhance delivery speed and reliability for both direct-to-consumer (D2C) and business-to-business (B2B) transactions. Key functionalities of the platform include real-time inventory tracking, automated order processing, and streamlined returns management. Zimi serves a diverse client base across various geographical markets, including North America, Europe, and Asia, catering to a range of sectors that require efficient cross-border logistics and payment solutions.

Zimi generates revenue primarily through a transaction-based model, positioning itself as a merchant of record for clients engaged in U.S. sales. The company processes payments from customers using its platform, handling verification and compliance while ensuring secure transactions. For instance, when a consumer makes a purchase from a client’s online store, Zimi facilitates the payment, deducts applicable fees, and transfers the remaining funds to the client's Zimi account.

The company plans to use its proceeds from December 2024 funding to expand its business platform across the US.
