Global multi-brand beauty and personal care startup

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

We build and operate an e-commerce platform that curates and sells K-beauty and personal care products through multiple owned brands like Kaja and Pony Effect. Our platform uses data from customers and market trends to develop new products with partners such as Sephora and Ulta, focusing on gaps in the market and moving quickly from concept to shelf.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA and the company is based here, with additional offices in Seoul, Shanghai, and Taipei.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the heart of tech innovation and venture capital, which helps us grow technology and partnerships with US retailers. We maintain offices in Asia to stay close to product development and manufacturing in Korea and other key markets.
