Buy and sell previously Lovd goods with 24-hour pickup in NYC

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

We built a marketplace for people to buy and sell the items they previously bought on Lovd. We handle pickup and delivery within 24 hours, currently only operating in NYC. This makes reselling easy and fast, removing the usual hassle from the process.

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

We live in Los Angeles and New York and will base the company in New York after YC to be close to our initial market and operations.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Since our service is live only in NYC and requires fast physical logistics, it makes sense to be based there to build closer to our customers and operations. We live in LA and NY, but the product demands focus on NYC first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Lovd YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Lovd's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Lovd would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
