Seed Round – Q3 2025 • Cultural Commerce Engine
The Unmet Opportunity
A Massive Gap in Infrastructure for Palestinian Creators
Across the Palestinian creative economy, talented writers, designers, and artisans are forced to stitch together fragmented tools - for marketing, logistics, payments, and fulfillment - creating inefficiency, high costs, and lost global opportunities. What looks like a small creative niche is, in fact, a massive untapped economic engine waiting to be unified.
The gap is not in creativity - it’s in infrastructure. And that gap is worth hundreds of millions.
0
Hours Lost / Creator / Year
Average time wasted annually by Palestinian creators on manual logistics, fulfillment, and scattered digital workflows - instead of focusing on creation and growth.
0%
Logistics Cost of Revenue
High fulfillment and shipping costs - often exceeding 8–10% of total sales - due to fragmented, low-volume operations and lack of collective bargaining infrastructure.
0%
Cart Abandonment Trigger
39% of e-commerce carts are abandoned due to extra shipping costs and complex multi-seller checkout - a critical friction Adonis eliminates through unified logistics.
The creative potential exists. What’s missing is the system to connect it. Adonis bridges that gap - turning fragmentation into opportunity.
Market Thesis
A Massive Cultural Economy - Untapped, Unified, and Ready
The creative economy is one of the fastest-growing global sectors, yet culturally-specific ecosystems like Palestine remain underserved and fragmented. By unifying tools, logistics, and payments under one platform, Adonis transforms cultural identity into scalable commerce - starting where the gap is widest and the opportunity most meaningful.
Small geography. Enormous resonance. A localized start with global scalability.

Palestinian & Regional Creative Economy
