Rishabh Gupta I built Alerzoshop from zero at Alerzo, a B2B marketplace where 180K+ small retailers in Nigeria buy their stock. It reached $160M GMV, 64% of the company's retail GMV. We then added embedded stock financing on top of it and grew loan disbursements 71% QoQ, with a UK partner carrying the underwriting. Now I'm the founding PM at Partao, a European marketplace for agricultural and construction machinery parts with 5M+ SKUs. I lead 14 engineers there, ship AI into production, and run most of my daily product work through Claude agents.
