What Vendoo does

Vendoo is a software that was created to solve the daily pain points of the millions of sellers in the steadily growing reselling industry. Our goal is to save sellers time and help them make more money. The user friendly interface allows sellers to crosspost their items onto multiple marketplaces in a fraction of the time that it takes to do so manually. Users can currently list items onto 10 marketplaces, including eBay, Poshmark, Etsy, Mercari, Facebook Marketplace and more. The software also provides other conveniences for sellers, like the ability to easily import their existing listings, delisting and relisting items with one click, and inventory management features like easy sorting and searching. Vendoo also provides sellers with business data and analytics to help them make calculated decisions to grow their business.

Help sellers manage sales on multiple platforms

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

Vendoo is software for online resellers to list and manage inventory across multiple marketplaces. Sellers crosspost items to places like eBay, Poshmark, Etsy, and Facebook Marketplace from one interface. We also help them import existing listings, delist and relist with one click, and provide inventory management and analytics to grow their business.

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

We live in Washington, DC and have a mostly remote team. After YC, the company would remain headquartered in DC with remote work continuing.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Washington, DC is where the founding team is based and suits our remote-plus-centralized approach. We don't need to relocate to build and serve our customers, and the city gives us good access to talent and support.

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