Office Administrator and HR coordinator

• Aug 2010 - Feb 2011

Alphabuyer is a Philadelphia-based early stage startup focused on creating a new demand-driven marketplace for buyers (consumers) and sellers (suppliers). Alphabuyer’s goal is to change the traditional supply & demand equation to benefit consumers in new, real ways. While traditional commerce requires consumers to conform to the product assortment, inventory levels and price of products set by suppliers and distributors, the Alphabuyer Marketplace will aggregate demand first, then use that demand to create greater value for consumers in the form of lower prices, better rates and higher discounts. How Alphabuyer Works Alphabuyer negotiates offers for things consumers pay for every month. - Things people use (and pay for) regularly, like electricity, natural gas and gasoline. Alphabuyer makes it simple for consumers to compare and choose offers. - Consumers get the clarity they need on the details. They also get to see what others are doing and saying. Consumers join forces and save more as a group. - Consumers join the crowd who’ve signed up and watch the deal get better as demand builds. Show less
