What they are building

A two-sided marketplace that gives brands an additional channel for inventory outside traditional retail, while helping shoppers discover, compare, and buy discounted home products in one place.

Why it matters

  • Surplus and outlet stock can retain recoverable value.
  • Traditional retail may not suit non-showroom inventory.
  • Households need more affordable ways to furnish homes.
  • Digital redistribution can extend use and reduce waste.
