What specific problem are you solving?
The Selling Network is solving three key problems in secondhand fashion.
First, 39% of people we speak to say that selling secondhand helps put food on the table. These everyday sellers (70% of whom are women, often from marginalized communities) need tools built for them, not professional resellers. We use AI to make listing faster, pricing smarter, and sales easier, giving them more time, income, and confidence.
Second, encouraging more people to sell secondhand drives a positive environmental flywheel. Every garment resold offsets the need for new production: keeping just one item in use for nine extra months reduces its carbon, waste, and water footprint by 20–30%. With fashion responsible for 10% of global emissions and producing 92 million tons of textile waste annually, the shift to resale is urgent.
Third, today’s resale tools are clunky, slow, and optimized for power users. We’re building a mobile-first, human-first platform that gives everyday sellers superpowers, because when it’s easier to sell secondhand, more people will do it. That’s better for families, communities, and the planet
What is your solution?
Our solution removes the friction from selling secondhand by making it fast, mobile, and accessible to everyone. Listing an item takes just one click, from your phone, anytime, anywhere, eliminating the biggest barrier for new and casual sellers: time. By lowering this entry point, we empower more people, especially women and marginalized groups, to earn supplemental income on their terms.
Our AI generates titles, descriptions, and category tags automatically, so listings are consistent, searchable, and attractive to buyers. This boosts visibility, drives faster sales, and gives sellers the confidence of knowing their items are being marketed effectively. No more guesswork, no more clunky forms, just clear, data-backed support to help them succeed.
This ease of use fuels the secondhand flywheel. As more people experience how simple it is to list and sell, more inventory enters the market. As listings become more searchable and relevant, buyers find what they want faster. Together, this creates a vibrant, self-sustaining circular economy that reduces reliance on fast fashion, cuts textile waste, and supports low-carbon consumer behavior. By making selling easier, we unlock both income opportunity and environmental impact at scale.
Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
Our solution is designed to serve two rapidly growing and underserved groups in the resale market.
Trend Thrivers are under 30, 60% women, and use secondhand selling as a way to keep up with fast-changing trends while staying budget- and climate-conscious. For this group, fashion is self-expression, but the constant cycle of buying and selling is time-consuming. The Selling Network makes it effortless: listing in one click, from your phone, with AI that handles titles and tags. This gives Trend Thrivers more time to focus on style, not logistics, while helping them build a sustainable closet and earn money along the way.
Everyday Hustlers are over 30, 80% women, and often motivated by financial need. For them, selling secondhand is about putting food on the table, covering bills, or creating flexibility while managing caregiving or multiple jobs. They want tools that save time, increase profits, and actually work. Our mobile-first, AI-powered platform removes complexity and maximizes earnings by helping them list and price items quickly and accurately.
By serving both Trend Thrivers and Everyday Hustlers, we’re creating a solution that’s inclusive, scalable, and impactful, economically empowering everyday people while accelerating the circular fashion movement.
