What we’re about
Support Local. Discover Smarter. Help Us Shape the Future of Neighborhood Commerce.
We’re building a new AI-powered platform VKonnect.ai, designed to help people in Denver find and support local businesses more easily. Whether it's handcrafted goods, artisan foods, or small neighborhood services, we believe the best things are made right here in our own community.
We believe small businesses are the soul of any city. Yet in a world dominated by big-box chains and global platforms, it’s still shockingly hard to discover what’s being made, baked, stitched, or grown right in your own neighborhood. We want to change that.
This group is for anyone passionate about local:
– Makers, crafters, and small business owners who want to reach more nearby customers
– Shoppers who love exploring local markets, handmade goods, or unique finds off the beaten path
– Foodies, farmers, or friends of farmers who care where their products come from
– Or just anyone curious about how AI and tech can help build stronger local economies
Join us as we share early ideas, test prototypes, gather feedback, and co-create a smarter way to connect locals with what’s nearby and worth discovering. Your voice will directly shape what we build. Whether you're here to give feedback or just stay in the loop, you're part of something meaningful.
Let’s bring local businesses online in a way that works for everyone, without needing a marketing team, a Shopify store, or an Instagram hustle.
