Kinnek was started in 2012 in New York City, by Rui Ma Karthic Sridharan who noticed that small businesses were stuck in a no-man's land when it came to purchasing for their businesses. They require bulk or customized orders that consumer-facing storefronts can't offer. However, businesses can't run the costly and complex procurement processes used by large businesses.
