LinkedInTradeAlign was founded by operators who experienced the fragmentation of B2B tools firsthand.
We built TradeAlign because we lived the problem. Between the two of us, we used six different platforms just to manage supplier discovery and business development — LinkedIn for intros, Alibaba for sourcing, email for follow-ups, spreadsheets for tracking, ThomasNet for lookup, and nothing for reputation.
Every handoff between tools meant lost context, duplicated effort, and deals that quietly died in inboxes. We knew there had to be a better way — and we knew SMBs were the ones who needed it most, since they couldn't afford the enterprise tools that had solved this for large companies.
Founded in the United States, TradeAlign is live at tradealign.me with businesses already on the platform across 24 countries.
“To give every small business the tools once reserved for enterprise procurement teams — making discovery, trust-building, and commercial relationship management accessible, affordable, and AI-enhanced.”
Verified identities, transparent reputation scores, and real accountability at every layer of the platform.
Capabilities previously gatekept by enterprise pricing — now available to every SMB that trades.
One platform. One profile. AI that does the heavy lifting of discovery so you can focus on the relationship.
