Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

B2B marketplace for wholesale second-hand fashion

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a marketplace that connects vintage stores and online resellers with used clothing wholesalers, rag-houses, and donation centers. Our platform helps buyers source second-hand fashion at scale, while suppliers get better access to the market and price transparency.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in London, England, and Fleek is based here. After YC, we plan to keep the company in London to stay close to our suppliers and buyers, who are mostly in Europe.

Explain your decision regarding location.

London is where the second-hand wholesale market for fashion is concentrated in Europe. Being here allows us to maintain strong relationships and understand our users firsthand. There's no advantage in moving away from the ecosystem we serve.
