A vintage marketplace curated by AI

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

We are building a new kind of vintage marketplace that uses AI agents to find and recommend vintage clothes tailored to each customer's style, size, and budget. Our AI analyzes social media trends, sales data, and personal preferences to surface high-demand pieces that users are likely to want, helping them shop secondhand efficiently without endless searching.

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

We live and are based in New York City, and after YC we'll remain here to stay connected to a large fashion and vintage community and access to sellers and buyers straight from the city.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is a vintage hub with a dense fashion scene and many small sellers who don't have online reach. Being local helps us curate better inventory and understand style trends in real time. It also lets us stay close to early users and test our product face-to-face, which is crucial for a marketplace.
