Cosa fa Curtsy

Curtsy is [an app]( that lets women buy and sell clothing, shoes, and accessories from their phones. Curtsy doesn't hold inventory; all orders ship directly from sellers to buyers. We make money by deducting a 20% fee from each sale. Curtsy's go-to-market strategy has been to focus on ~Gen Z women ages 15-30, who are underserved by the major players in the space like Poshmark and Ebay.

A sustainable clothing resale app

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

We made an app that lets women buy and sell clothes, shoes, and accessories directly from their phones. Sellers ship items straight to buyers, and we take a 20% cut of each sale. It's built specifically around Gen Z women who don't get good options from bigger resale platforms.

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

We live in San Francisco now and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we can recruit talent and be close to other startups and investors. It's also where our team is already located, so it makes sense to stay here.
