URMRKT: Your Trusted Marketplace for Industry
The Problem
In today's trading environment, systemic inefficiencies are impeding performance and growth. A significant issue is the absence of a centralized marketplace across various industries, resulting in high fragmentation. Current markets also suffer from categorization that is too general, preventing users from effectively targeting their specific product interests. Moreover, these platforms lack mechanisms to adequately address and incorporate logistical costs, further complicating transactions. Our approach is designed to streamline these processes, creating a more focused and efficient marketplace.
Market Opportunity
AIP aims to initially enter the physical commodity market, focusing on key products such as wheat, soybeans, corn, milo, hay, fertilizer, and fuel. Estimating the market size and growth potential for these commodities reveals a substantial opportunity. Globally, the combined market size for these commodities is estimated to be in the trillions of dollars annually. This estimate considers factors such as population growth, dietary preferences, biofuel production, livestock feed demand, and agricultural productivity enhancement needs. While the market for each commodity varies in size, they collectively represent essential components of various industries, including agriculture, food production, and energy. Factors influencing growth potential include population growth, changing dietary patterns, technological advancements in agriculture, and regulatory developments. Given the vital role these commodities play and their diverse applications, the market is indeed large enough to support significant revenue growth for our venture. Success in capturing market share and achieving revenue growth will depend on factors such as innovative technology, value added proposition, effective market positioning, competitive pricing, supply chain efficiency, and customer relationships.
Our Unique Value Proposition
In the dynamic and rapidly evolving world of supply chain management, logistics and commodity trading, there are several players vying for market share and dominance. The emergence of technology and the rise of blockchain have disrupted traditional commodity trading models, enabling greater efficiency, transparency, and security in the process. Our company will capitalize on these emerging trends to transform commodity trading for the better. Our mission, to accelerate the adoption of decentralized commodities trading by providing a transparent, efficient, and secure platform that enables price discovery, access to liquidity, and risk management for all participants in the global agriculture supply chain, does not come without challenges.
Our exchange faces competition from several other leading platforms in the commodity trading space. These include established players such as CME Group and ICE, although they don’t conduct business directly in the physical arena, they have a dominant market position and deep expertise in the futures industry. Additionally, there are other innovative startups such as Agora Commodities and Open Mineral that are also leveraging blockchain and other technologies to drive greater efficiency and transparency in the energy and metals markets. There are regional and local exchanges that trade live cattle, such as the Livestock Exchange in Omaha, Nebraska and the Oklahoma National Stockyards in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. There is plenty of direct negotiation between buyers and sellers, through commodity brokers and Futures Commission Merchants who handle bringing physical buyers and sellers together. These transaction methods exist with other physical commodities including grains that are exchanged at grain elevators, cooperatives, ethanol plants, feed mills, and other end-users.
As we continue to grow and expand our offerings, we remain focused on differentiating ourselves
through our unique approach to price discovery, product verification, logistics, and distribution. Our commitment to complete transparency throughout the entire supply chain, combined with the latest blockchain and logistics technologies, sets us apart from our competitors and positions us for long-term success. -TOP-

Traction and Milestones
Allied Innovation Partners has made significant strides with substantial investments and key agreements, including our strategic partnership with Modulus, which enhances our technological capabilities. Operationally, we’ve successfully launched our trading environment and started generating revenue, with notable milestones such as onboarding our first hay contract and achieving initial live trades. In terms of market development and intellectual property, we are advancing our innovative platform, URMARKET™, backed by 14 patent-pending innovations and ongoing efforts to address the fragmented agricultural trading market.
Customer Model
At Allied Innovation Partners, we integrate commodities into a strategic ecosystem that mirrors real-world agricultural cycles. For instance, a farmer growing hay and wheat who also needs fertilizer, and diesel seamlessly fits into our ecosystem, acting as both a buyer and seller. This holistic approach streamlines trading processes and enhances efficiency by aligning supply and demand across interconnected commodities.
Business Model
Allied Innovation Partners' business model is designed for scalable growth, starting locally and expanding to regional, national, and eventually global markets. As we grow, we continuously increase the variety of commodities traded and expand into new locations, creating a comprehensive platform for agriculture and related industries. At each stage of this expansion, we generate revenue by taking a transaction fee on every trade executed through our platform, ensuring sustainable growth and profitability.
