Bridging Creativity andManufacturing
We're building the world's first complete design-to-manufacturing platform, empowering creators to turn their ideas into global businesses through AI, community, and cutting-edge technology.
Our Story
The Beginning
Scotani was born from a simple frustration: the gap between creative vision and bringing products to market was too wide, too expensive, and too complex for most creators. Our founders, Alex Chen and Sarah Rodriguez, experienced this firsthand while trying to launch their own design projects.
As a former design lead at Adobe, Alex understood the creative process intimately. Sarah, with her background in AI research at Google Brain, saw the potential for technology to democratize not just design creation, but the entire journey from concept to customer.
The Vision
We envisioned a world where anyone with creativity and passion could build a global business. Where the barriers between idea and implementation would be torn down by intelligent technology, vibrant communities, and transparent processes.
Today, Scotani serves over 50,000 creators across 25+ countries, connecting them with 500+ verified manufacturers worldwide. We've facilitated over $2 million in creator earnings and helped bring thousands of unique products to market.
Looking Forward
We're just getting started. Our mission is to democratize the global economy by giving every creator the tools, connections, and opportunities to build sustainable, profitable businesses around their unique talents and visions.
The future of commerce is creative, collaborative, and globally connected. We're building the infrastructure to make that future accessible to everyone.
