Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Community driven marketplace for used things

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

We built a marketplace where people can get rid of things they no longer need without spending time or money. Instead of traditional selling, users bid with virtual coins to win items, often getting products at big discounts. It's a mix of a social network and marketplace focused on circulation of used stuff.

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

We live in San Francisco, Minsk, and remote locations. After YC, we plan to base the company in San Francisco to be close to investors and partners while keeping engineering distributed.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are located where we built the product and have local connections - San Francisco and Minsk. We keep remote work because it fits our team's strengths and cost-effectiveness. YC would speed up our network and help us scale from SF.
