AI-Grow Your Manufacturing Business. Fast.

SeekMake operates as a digital manufacturing platform, connecting clients with a global network of industrial manufacturers to streamline the production of parts and prototypes. Founded in 2018 by Adel Ayari and Zino Adidi, the Tunisian-based company aims to simplify and accelerate the manufacturing process. Adel Ayari, who serves as CEO, has a background as an aeronautical engineer and mechanical manufacturing expert, having founded two other startups before SeekMake. The company's business model functions as a marketplace that connects users in need of manufacturing services with machine owners who have underutilized capacity. Clients can upload their designs to the platform, and the system matches them with the most suitable manufacturer based on factors like proximity and cost. Revenue is generated through a commission on each transaction conducted through the platform and a monthly subscription fee for machine owners. The platform serves a diverse clientele, including students, architects, designers, startups, and manufacturing companies. One of its notable achievements was its involvement in prototyping parts for Tunisia's first satellite, Challenge ONE, in 2021. SeekMake's platform offers a range of on-demand manufacturing services, such as 3D printing, CNC machining, laser cutting and engraving, and sheet metal fabrication. For manufacturers, the platform provides tools to manage their workflow, including smart quote generation, file management, customer communication, and order tracking. For clients, it offers an instant quoting system, a secure platform for intellectual property, and the ability to track production progress. The company has built a network of over 10,000 users and more than 72 manufacturing partners across 40 countries, including Tunisia, the United States, and Australia. In August 2023, SeekMake secured EUR 500,000 in funding from Lafayette Group to fuel its global expansion, with a focus on the French and German markets, and has established a subsidiary in Estonia.
