Ce que fait Dressd

Dressd is AirBnb for clothes; a P2P clothing rental marketplace. Unlike Rent the Runway, we don’t handle any inventory or deal with cleaning the items. Our initial target market is sorority girls who can have up to 3-4 events per week that they need a new outfit/dress for. One of our core theses is that this idea couldn’t have existed at scale until now because resale apps like Depop & Poshmark paved the way for a P2P model to work after familiarizing users with the process of taking pictures of items, shipping, etc. Advantages to our P2P model - Entrepreneur-led - Similar to Depop, most of our growth will be spearheaded by a group of “top renters” - More variety in inventory - Existing rental companies like Rent the Runway own all the inventory so they're limited to the brands they buy/partner with. Since we're P2P, our users can rent any item or brand that's in someone else's closet - Better margins - we don’t touch any inventory or deal with the cleaning of any items - Unlike Rent the Runway, we don’t handle any inventory or the cleaning of items. This means people renting out their clothing on Dressd are responsible for shipping things out & returning them in good condition Here are some of our links!

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

We're building a peer-to-peer clothing rental marketplace where people can rent clothes from each other's closets without Dressd owning inventory or handling cleaning. Our app targets sorority girls who need new outfits for multiple weekly events. Users list their own items and handle shipping and care themselves. This lets us offer more variety and better margins than traditional rental companies.

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

I live in Los Angeles, CA, and the company would be based there after YC, with a remote team.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Los Angeles is where I am based and where our early users, like sorority students, are concentrated. Remote work lets us keep costs low while servicing this demographic effectively.
