The Arabic Marketplace for Custom & Handmade Goods
One place to discover, customize, and buy — powered by a maker operating system behind every listing. Centralized checkout on tethkar.store; optional branded storefronts for makers who want them. Starting with button badges; built to extend across every custom category.
Buyers and makers are stuck in fragmented channels — no unified catalog, checkout, or discovery
Shoppers scroll Instagram and WhatsApp with no unified catalog, no buyer protection, and no way to compare custom goods — every purchase is a leap of faith.
Etsy has no Arabic-first experience, lacks regional integrated payment rails, and has little cultural relevance for Gulf and Arab buyers or sellers.
Custom and made-to-order goods need precise production files, unified inventory, and custom fulfillment tools that generic e-commerce platforms do not offer.
No dominant localized platform exists for custom & made-to-order commerce in MEA
Unified buyer discovery on tethkar.store — production tools and optional brand storefronts for makers
tethkar.store is the default shopping destination — browse verified makers by category without needing to know the seller. One catalog for the GCC.
Buyers pay Tethkar — never wire money to a seller directly. One cart, GCC payment rails, buyer protection, and platform commission on every order.
Makers who want a direct channel get brand.tethkar.store — same account, same Tethkar checkout. Marketplace listing included by default.
3D customization, print-ready PDFs, inventory, and fulfillment dashboards — the moat generic marketplaces cannot replicate. Live today for button badges.
The systemic AI flood damaging global competitors represents our primary entry barrier and defense
Etsy was forced to remove 4x more Handmade-policy violations last year as mass-manufactured items flood its catalog. Buyers can no longer identify human-made items.
Developing AI-assisted pre-screening to automatically flag synthetic, templated, or non-handmade submissions before human review (Roadmap priority).
Live Today: Superuser storefront and item vetting is active in production. Roadmap: Blending AI pre-checks with physical onboarding protocols.
* Note: Maker verification badges, cryptographic production proofs, and digital appeal flows are currently being scoped as key roadmap targets.
Tethkar sits at the center: discovery, payments, vetting — with maker tools and optional brand stores underneath
Unified catalog on tethkar.store, centralized GCC checkout, buyer protection, seller payouts, and platform commission — owned end-to-end by Tethkar.
Merchant vetting, listing approval, dispute policies, and platform analytics. Maintained by Tethkar.
Makers listed on the marketplace with optional brand.tethkar.store storefronts, 3D configurators, and production dashboards.
Shoppers discover on the marketplace or visit a brand store — same account, same Tethkar checkout. Never pay a seller directly.
A hyper-focused wedge strategy designed to master the hardest aspect of custom commerce first
Custom button badges, enamel pins, and fridge magnets represent high-velocity, small-batch physical workflows. Solving this allows us to stress-test high-resolution production output algorithms perfectly.
Deep engagement directly inside active maker subreddits and developer YouTube walkthrough streams provides low-cost, high-retention distribution loops and immediate technical feedback channels.
The core infrastructure—custom 3D layouts, dynamic PDF generators, print sheet compiling—is structured to extend frictionlessly to magnets, keychains, custom apparel, and other categories.
Transaction-led revenue on every Tethkar-processed order — SaaS and ads at scale
Commission on every order processed through Tethkar's centralized GCC checkout — whether the buyer arrived from tethkar.store or a brand storefront.
Subscription tiers for advanced brand storefronts, agency multi-brand management, and enterprise production configurations.
Sponsored products and category placements on the tethkar.store marketplace — high-margin demand-side revenue once catalog scale is achieved.
* Maker OS (3D, production PDFs, per-brand storefronts) is live today. Unified marketplace catalog and centralized GCC payments are the primary post-funding milestones.
Production infrastructure active — funding unlocks unified catalog, centralized payments, and buyer acquisition

The ideal GCC sandbox with unparalleled digital alignment, policy, and market reach
Qatar sits at the nexus of high-disposable-income Gulf states. Its world-class digital payment ecosystem and regional transport assets offer frictionless commercial scaling.
Tethkar directly advances the digitizing initiatives of Qatar National Vision 2030, transforming micro-SMEs and local home creators into digital-native entrepreneurs.
Favorable licensing pathways under QFC, access to startup hubs, simplified enterprise registration, and modern talent visas make Doha the optimal launching base.
Developing resilient physical craftsmanship in an AI-automated world
As generative AI automates white-collar and digital-only roles, physical maker skills (manual assembly, alignment, screen printing, and tactile design) offer high-agency, un-automatable creative paths for youth.
This academy acts as our organic acquisition engine. Every graduate receives a verified marketplace listing by default — plus an optional branded storefront on Tethkar to start selling from day one.
Directly addresses the Human and Social Development pillars of Qatar National Vision 2030 by transforming regional youth from passive digital consumers into active, skilled micro-entrepreneurs.
