Invest in the company
The system already works.
Now, country by country.
Bonobo builds uNobo Connect, the operating system for unattended commerce: it brings payment, machine and panel into a single cycle. In Spain it has been running in production since July 2024, and expansion happens country by country through a Country Partner, without opening subsidiaries.

Why now
Proprietary technology, in production
Payment, machine and panel in a single cycle, with SofIA for support. It runs on machines from different manufacturers via MDB, with deep control on TCN equipment.
A model that scales without subsidiaries
Each country is run by a Country Partner with the system, the registered brands (Flappers and 1Self) and the working method. Spain is the first, and it already works.
The market is already moving

Who is behind it
Román Suárez
Founder & CEO
He has spent more than 30 years in vending. Between 2009 and 2019 he led the national rollout of two of Spain’s first 24-hour store networks, more than a decade before the format became common. Today he is CEO of uRetail (Metro24st, 1Self Vending, Flappers), with more than 200 points of sale in Spain, 65 of them selling today with uNobo Connect, and a member of the Advisory Board of Automated Foodservice Expo (HIP).
uRetail belongs to the same group: it is the first Country Partner and the one proving the model in Spain.
How the company makes money
Today: a fee per machine or per store depending on the uNobo Connect tier, age verification charged per use, and a licence per country with each Country Partner. With volume: better commissions negotiated with payment gateways and a branded payment gateway with a regulated partner.
What we are looking for
Financial partners to accelerate European expansion: integrating new machines and services, an expansion team for operators and Country Partners, and a branded payment gateway with a regulated partner.
