Meet Chinwe Oparaji the Founder who is Empowering Artisan Market Coordinators to Create Better Vendor Events

Originally designed to help artists evaluate market events, The SMILE Market has evolved into a platform focused on empowering Artisan Market Coordinators to run more successful and well-matched vendor events.

Through her experience organizing pop-up markets and collaborating with event hosts, Chinwe identified key challenges that coordinators face, including attracting the right vendors, providing transparency, and enhancing vendor relationships.

The Pivot to a Stronger Use Case

To address these issues, The SMILE Market app is being developed as a powerful tool offering data-driven vendor matching, event performance insights, and streamlined communication, helping coordinators optimize their events and create better experiences for both vendors and attendees.

In this video, Chinwe shares her journey and the impact of TechX at Aventi.
