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.

자주 묻는 질문

MBX의 실제 YC 지원서인가요?

아닙니다. Y Combinator는 제출된 지원서를 비공개로 유지합니다. 이것은 재구성된 것입니다. 실제 YC 양식 질문에 MBX의 공개 데이터(출시 노트, 창업자 배경, 제품 설명)를 기반으로 답변했습니다. MBX과 같은 회사가 YC에 어떻게 자신을 소개하는지 보여주며, 그들이 제출한 텍스트는 아닙니다.
