── ABOUT 101 MARKETPLACE
Egypt's local brands, one doorway.
We're building a single home for the people making things in Egypt — designers, ceramicists, perfumers, parents, printers and painters. One cart. One checkout. A hundred-and-one ways to find them.

The manifesto · №02
We're not another store.
"A marketplace built around Egypt's independent makers, brands and small businesses."
For years, Egypt's best brands lived on a hundred different Instagram bios, WhatsApp numbers and pop-up calendars. You'd hear about them from a friend, then lose the link.
101 is the doorway we wished existed — a single, curated marketplace where the ceramicist, the perfumer, the streetwear label and the 3D-printing studio across town are all one cart away.
We take a small cut. We give makers real tools, a real audience, and a checkout that works. Everything else — the craft, the names, the stories — stays theirs.

2024 ─── 2026
2024 · THE NOTICE
A founder kept losing links.
Bookmarks. Screenshots. Voice notes. The best Egyptian brands lived everywhere except in one place you could find them again.
2025 · THE BLUEPRINT
A team came together.
Designers, engineers and operators who've worked with hundreds of small brands — all asking the same question: what if Egypt had its one home?
2025 · THE BUILD
We built the cart.
One checkout across every brand. Real tools for sellers. A logistics layer that respects both sides. Months in private beta with founding makers.
2026 · THE DOOR OPENS
You walk in.
A waitlist of thousands. A roster of hundreds of brands. Ten categories. One marketplace. We open this year.
WHAT'S INSIDE · №05
10 categories. 100s of brands. 1 marketplace.
Every category is curated by a person, not an algorithm — most of them makers themselves.

WHAT WE BELIEVE · №06
Three things we keep repeating to ourselves.
01
Local before loud.
Every brand on 101 is made in Egypt. Not "designed here, made elsewhere" — actually made here, by people whose names we know.
02
Curation, not flood.
We say no a lot. The point isn't "everything for sale" — it's the things you'll be glad you found.
03
Makers keep more.
A fair cut, transparent fees, and tools that actually help sellers run their thing. No mystery, no lock-in.
For makers · №08
You make something.
We'll help sell it.
Onboarding is free. Listings take minutes. We handle the cart, the checkout and a chunk of the delivery. You stay focused on the thing only you make.
№ 09
The doors are about to open.
Be the first through. We'll send one email when we go live — no spam, no countdown timers screaming at you.
