Pollen is a B2B marketplace for short-life and obsolete (SLOB) inventory. It connects large consumer brands in Southeast Asia with bulk buyers globally. SLOB inventory is a wasting asset - its value drops every day. Pollen uses its data and AI to estimate the best price to sell the inventory at to maximize revenue for the seller while still selling it quickly enough that it does not lose more value.

Pollen takes a fee from every transaction on its platform. It sells data that predicts the recovery value of old stock. Pollen monetizes the circular economy through automated workflows. The company charges for access to its private network of discount buyers.
