Cosa fa Celery

Celery emerged from Y Combinator in 2012 with one goal: to help you sell your great ideas, better. Filling a void in e-commerce, Celery has become the single-stop for innovative brands - large and small - to take pre-orders, crowdfund independently, and to continue selling before and after items are in-stock. Today, Celery has helped thousands of businesses launch their way by providing the tools to crowdfund and pre-sell independently. Celery is founded by a team crowdfunding and e-commerce experts and alums from MIT, Stanford, Groupon, LinkedIn and Foursquare, and is venture-backed by Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Elementum Ventures, Max Levchin, SV Angel, and other top investors.

Platform for pre-orders and crowdfunding

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

Celery is a platform that helps brands take pre-orders and crowdfund their products independently. It lets businesses, from small startups to larger brands, start selling before inventory is ready and continue selling after items are back in stock. Our tools fill a gap in e-commerce for managing pre-sales and crowdfunding without relying on third-party platforms.

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

We all live in San Francisco, CA, and the company will be based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being in San Francisco puts us at the center of e-commerce innovation, close to potential users and investors, and surrounded by a strong tech community. This density helps us move fast and get direct feedback.
