Business Model

Konero operates at the intersection of functional beverages and sustainable agri-food distribution, leveraging both direct-to-consumer engagement and wholesale channels to scale efficiently.

1. Direct-to-Consumer (D2C)

• E-commerce Platform: Consumers purchase directly from Konero’s website, with seamless delivery across the USA.
• Subscription Model (YellowBox by Konero): Curated monthly boxes featuring Konero Tigernut Drinks in multiple flavors, bundled with recipe ideas and wellness content. This creates recurring revenue and strengthens brand loyalty.

2. Retail Partnerships

• Health Food Stores: Placement in Whole Foods, Sprouts, and Planet Organic-style retailers where functional and plant-based beverages dominate shelf space.
• Afro-Caribbean Supermarkets: A culturally authentic entry point, serving diaspora communities that already recognize Tigernut as part of their food heritage.
• Wellness Cafes & Specialty Outlets: Targeted retail locations in urban centers (New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles) to reach health-conscious early adopters.

3. Foodservice Channels

• Gyms & Smoothie Bars: Konero positioned as a post-workout, gut-healthy energy boost.
• Plant-Based Cafes & Restaurants: Integration into recipes, smoothies, and meal pairings to build awareness through culinary experiences.
• Corporate Catering: Supplying Tigernut-based beverages to health-focused companies as part of their catering services.

4. Agri-Food Distribution & Sustainability (SciFruVeg Model)

• Supply Chain Backbone: Konero leverages SciFruVeg, our AI-enabled agri-food distribution model, to secure a consistent, cost-efficient Tigernut supply chain from African growers to USA processors.
• Sustainability Advantage: By using controlled-atmosphere storage and optimized logistics, Konero reduces post-harvest losses, lowers carbon footprint, and ensures farm-to-bottle transparency.
• Scalable Platform: This backbone not only supports Konero Drinks but also positions the brand to extend into future product lines (salads, sauces, YellowBox meal kits).
