PreGrab

PreGrab is a venture that wants to tap into the pre-owned products market. We have kicked off from being a market-place for dealers of pre-owned products and will be primarily focusing on the needs of the buyers of these products. Once having established ourselves in our core business competencies, we aim to expand into B2B and C2C avenues. The problem we aim to solve is of the lack of reliability and visibility of these products from a buyer’s viewpoint. All the present arrangements in the market (online and offline) fail to provide these deliverables leaving the market highly untapped and the core problem unsolved.
