Not designing. Not creating. Just researching products, coordinating with clients, sourcing assets from manufacturers — manually, across six to ten different tools.

Globally, six million designers face the same workflow problem. Poland alone exports $17 billion in furniture annually — third largest in Europe — meaning the product side is already global.

Designer

Drag-and-drop 3D library into 12 design programs. Auto-generated shopping lists, project management, real-time client chat. Earns 5% on every product shipped.

Client

Approves products on phone. Visibility into project timeline and budget. No more email threads or PDF attachments.

Manufacturer

Live data updates, real-time orders from qualified designers. No cold leads — only committed buyers with specified products.

Contractor

Pre-validated shopping lists ready for execution. Direct link to manufacturer for installation timelines and material handling.

⤢

Drag. 3D library to SketchUp / Revit / Blender — 12 supported programs.

⤢

List. Auto-generated shopping list with live pricing and manufacturer details.

⤢

Manage. Tasks, kanban boards, Gantt charts, milestones — all project-native.

⤢

Communicate. Real-time chat between designer, client, contractor — tied to the project.

Subscription

€49/month PRO tier for designers. Library access, project workflow, mobile app, client portal. Five-month CAC payback.

Transaction commission

15% commission from manufacturers on every product sold through SIMTU-specified projects. No fee from designer or client side.

Success Fee

5% routes to designer's SIMTU Wallet — structural retention. Designers earn from staying. Industry-first mechanism.

Manufacturer pays SIMTU 15%. SIMTU keeps 10% net margin. 5% routes to the designer's wallet — paid out when their project ships. Customer pays catalog price. Manufacturer keeps full retail. Designer earns from staying.

15%

Manufacturer pays SIMTU commission on every transaction made through SIMTU-specified projects.

10%

SIMTU keeps as net margin — covers infrastructure, content, growth, and profit.

5%

Routes to designer's wallet — Success Fee, paid out when their specified project ships.

Average designer specifies €8–15k of products per year. Net annual cost approaches zero by month 6 with Success Fee earnings. Why our projected churn beats category benchmarks — structural retention beats incentive retention.

AI productivity

AI changed software, marketing, healthcare in three years. The design industry is the last $500B vertical without a native infrastructure layer. Designers expect it now.

Industry digitization

Post-COVID interior boom — hospitality, residential, contract. Furniture industry moving from PDFs and Excel to native B2B platforms. Demand for workflow tools accelerating.

European furniture export

Poland alone exports $17B in furniture annually — third largest in Europe. The product is already global. We're building the technology layer for trade flows that already exist.

26

Manufacturer contracts signed — full commercial agreements, not LOIs. Combined SKU portfolio across 5 furniture categories.

1,560

3D models ready in production library at launch. All quality-controlled, manufacturer-verified.

79%

Product-market fit from independent University research — Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, sample size 112 designers.

$170k

Non-dilutive government grants (PARP) deployed. MVP shipped — desktop, web, mobile, cloud all functional.

Beta opens August 2026. Commercial launch October 30, 2026.

Houzz

Lead generation marketplace. No design tools, no transactions, no workflow integration. Different problem.

Material Bank

Sample logistics platform. No 3D models, no workflow, no marketplace. Different problem.

BimObject

3D model library. No transactions, no commission, no designer earnings, no workflow. Library only.

Library + workflow + marketplace + Success Fee. Only platform combining all four — and the only one with structural designer retention.

Three layers of moat: proprietary .SIM2 file format, 3D model quality control pipeline built over 2 years with PARP funding, and the Success Fee mechanism creating designer flywheel. 3–5 years and $10M to replicate.
