The things that we eat, the things that we buy, the places we go, how we get there<\/a>,\u201d shares Vikas Garg, Founder &amp; CEO of 500-backed social commerce platform <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abillion.com\/\">abillion<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vikas has been obsessed with using data and redesigning algorithms to spread sustainability, positive impact, and social well-being over the last 5 years and counting.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>His efforts and success caught the attention of V-Label International, and Vikas was honored as a 2023 <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3KSo7x9\">#FOODHEROES20 for transforming outdated food systems, and being a pioneer in a plant-based, cruelty-free, fair world<\/a>!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If abillion\u2019s mission speaks to you, there\u2019s 10 days left for you to be part of the movement too! <\/strong>After hitting 4x user growth across 173 countries in just 2 years, 4,700+ customers, and 2.5M+ user reviews, the team is <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/41GIcx7\">fundraising through a community investment round open to everyone<\/a> until April 30.

With abillion, he wants to make the journey not just a lot easier and accessible for people, but also more fun.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Today, the team serves about a million people worldwide who have reviewed more than half a million consumer products on the platform, including ~30,000 plant-based meat products and over 100,000 cosmetics products.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cWhat we wanted to do is really make sure that businesses are getting that feedback so they&#8217;re improving and increasing their options,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt&#8217;s creating competition \u2014 showing businesses what their competitors are doing. We&#8217;re sending them content and information that ultimately the goal is consumer advocacy because that&#8217;s going to move the needle from a sustainability perspective.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 insights Vikas would share with aspiring entrepreneurs:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>#1 Make sure you are building something you really want to build, and that you&#8217;re very passionate about, because it&#8217;s just too easy to get disengaged and get distracted<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>#2 Realize that it&#8217;s a grind<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>#3 Value your relationships, be good to people, appreciate them, and try to learn something.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Watch the full interview <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3MQ42dr\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sustainability at your fingertips<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4064,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[322],"tags":[476],"class_list":["post-4063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily","tag-abillion"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Daily Markup #728: abillion redesigned social data &amp;
