Camelan is a Dubai-based peer-to-peer video-based marketplace founded last year by CEO Moustafa Mahmoud, Maha Refai, and Alsayed "Jimmy" Gamal.
After its start as a video-based classifieds app for pet products, the platform has expanded to offer in-app payment as well as delivery services. Available for both iOS and Android devices, Camelan is 100% free to use and makes buying and selling products easy via short video clips that are not only convenient but also a great way to ensure and verify product quality.
"The video makes commerce more personal. It helps you hear the story from the seller and see what you’re buying just like you would in real life. I believe that video is the most natural medium for online commerce. The current status quo exists due to the limitations of technology when ecommerce first emerged, but this status quo should change and evolve, to keep up with the experience buyers expect," said Moustafa Mahmoud about the brand's mission.
