What Ole does

Ole brings fashion with delivery and return on-demand. Customers use our app to order clothes from nearby stores, try them at home while the driver is waiting, take only what they like and return to the driver what they don't. We already have $35k monthly GMV, growing 35% MoM. What’s unique about our business is our average order value which is 7X higher than typical on-demand business. While their average order is $30, ours is $200, which is why we are already positive in unit economics.

Fashion shopping with delivery and return on demand

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

We built an app that lets customers order clothes from local stores and try them at home while the driver waits. Customers pick what they want and leave the rest with the driver, simplifying fashion shopping and reducing friction on returns.

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

We live and operate in Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel, and the company would be based there after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Tel Aviv has a dense urban environment with active fashion retail and delivery logistics; local consumer behavior fits our on-demand model well. We want to keep building here where the market demand and supply partners are close, and YC will help us scale globally while staying here.
