Hi there, we are Nulisec. 👋

We’re a marketplace startup helping European businesses take full advantage of technological developments in B2B eCommerce. We think Europe is toxic for businesses to succeed. We are here to change this problem: we believe people should be able to participate in online trade regardless of where they are, the language they speak or their age.

Our Story

We want to begin our story by dedicating this part as a token of gratitude to our parents. Our parents were born into extreme poverty in Vietnam and throughout most of their childhood they lived on less than $1 a day. So they had to leave their families and loved ones behind when they had the chance to come to the Czech Republic to work in factories, in hopes of finding better means of providing for the ones back home.

As soon as commerce was allowed, they’ve worked nonstop their whole life buying and selling goods to provide us with an opportunity to attain higher education so we may have a better future. For this reason, we are so proud to be their children and eternally grateful for their acts of bravery. They have been the story for the founding of Nulisec, with a mission to provide aspiring entrepreneurs in local communities with a platform to succeed in the 21st century, so they too can provide a better life for themselves and their loved ones.

We believe e-commerce is an essential part of business success in the 21st century, and we know it will bring opportunities for many entrepreneurs to take their business to the next level. However, the online development of the wholesale industry in Europe has not kept pace with the retail industry. Moreover, the wholesale SMEs, that mainly operate in the traditional Cash and Carry method of transaction are still very underserved.

Thanks to our parents’ 80 years of combined experience in this specific type of wholesale, we have a developed deep appreciation and understanding of the challenges and opportunities that are present in this niche. Thus, our strength and competitive advantage comes from our ability to understand and internalize the challenges wholesale SMEs are facing on a human level, so that we may create a valuable product for them. To us, these entrepreneurs aren’t just a number. We see ambitious people that are trying, to the best of their abilities, to create a better future and Nulisec is here to serve them in this endeavour.

About us

Our company was founded in August 2017 in the Czech Republic, inside the business and cultural community of Sapa. Sapa started in 1999 with only a handful of Vietnamese immigrant merchants (our parents amongst them) coming together from every corner of the country to form one of the first business communities in Prague. This small and isolated community of wholesalers would become what is today known as Little Hanoi in Prague. 19 years later, this community is home to 700 wholesale SMEs, restaurants and other services and has over 10 000 daily visitors. Despite this tremendous development, businesses in this community don’t know how to leverage the internet to reach buyers or to fulfil orders.

This is where we come in, we want to give this local community a chance to modernize and succeed in the 21st century by building an online marketplace that focuses on solving these challenges that the immigrant entrepreneurs face. We are not stopping here, our goal is to gradually expand and empower wholesale communities around the world, starting with central and eastern Europe.

Friendship

Being a friend means acting with integrity in tough situations. We build relationships with our business partners to unite people for our cause. Putting relationships ahead of quick wins.

Leadership

We lead by stepping out and taking responsibility in our everyday work. It means doing what is in the best interest of Nulisec in the long run, foregoing short terms gains for sustainable growth.

Be of Service

Being approachable and have a “Get Stuff Done” attitude to everything. At our company, everyone is a customer service rep, from the top management to the entry level member.

Integrity

We believe in having the mental and emotional fortitude to forgo short-term gains in tough situations. In order to live up to the responsibility entrusted upon us from our partners.

Our Team

Nulisec is full of smart, driven people who care a lot more about getting it done, and the relationships we build, than about proving how clever we are. Nulisec's people truly become a valuable extension of our clients' teams. As a result, our people are a primary reason our clients would recommend Nulisec to others. We believe in demonstrating a one team attitude. Our collaborative working style emphasizes teamwork, trust, and tolerance for diverging opinions. People tell us we are down-to-earth, approachable and fun.

We have a passion for real results and a pragmatic drive for action that starts Monday morning 8 am and doesn't let up. We rally clients with our infectious energy, to make change stick. And we never go at it alone. We balance challenging and co-creating with our clients, building the internal capabilities required for them to create repeatable results. We work hard, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. We enjoy what we do and we laugh a lot… most often at ourselves.

It feels different to work with us.

There are over 1.8M wholesale businesses in Europe, 99% of them are SMEs. Most of these men and women have been in business for 20+ years and they have been very slow to utilize technology as a competitive advantage.

This creates a market with high fragmentation on both the seller and the buyer side. We want to build a platform where business relationships can be easily established without having to use many intermediaries.

We believe that direct access to the source of the goods will be valuable not only to the end consumer, the retailer but also to the manufacturer.
