Transpaer is an emerging platform idea designed to help people understand the story behind what they buy. With a simple scan, users can see how products align with their values — revealing which companies care for their workers, protect the planet, and create responsibly. The goal is to make conscious purchasing easier, replacing guilt and confusion with clarity and collective action.
Melisa Y. Kristina and Wojciech KluczkaCo-founders Melisa Y. Kristina and Wojciech Kluczka were inspired by a shared frustration with the uncertainty of “trying to buy the right thing” and used their background in software engineering to build the tool they wished existed. Wojciech brings a physicist’s eye for systems and transparency, while Melisa draws on her experience as an educator and developer to make complex data simple and human-readable. Together, they are translating the complexity of global supply chains into accessible, everyday insight.
