The Story

Founded in 2011, Poshmark started with a simple yet powerful idea in Manish Chandra's garage. Along with co-founders Tracy Sun, Gautam Golwala, and Chetan Pungaliya, Chandra envisioned a platform that would revolutionize how people buy and sell fashion. The inspiration came from seeing the potential of the iPhone 4 to create meaningful connections in the shopping experience.

What They Do

Poshmark is not just another e-commerce platform – it's a social marketplace that brings together shopping and community. Think of it as a place where social media meets shopping, allowing users to buy, sell, and discover fashion, home goods, and accessories. With over 80 million users , the platform has become a go-to destination for both casual sellers and entrepreneurial individuals looking to build their own digital boutiques.

Growth & Achievements

• Started as a fashion-only platform and successfully expanded into home goods and electronics
• Raised over $160 million in venture funding
• Achieved a successful IPO in January 2021
• Recently launched innovative features like AI-powered visual search and livestream shopping
• Built a vibrant community of millions of buyers and sellers across the country

Today, under CEO Manish Chandra's leadership, Poshmark continues to innovate in the social commerce space, blending technology with community to create a unique shopping experience. The platform's success story is a testament to how combining social connections with commerce can create a powerful marketplace that resonates with modern consumers.

We are Hiver. We are a bunch of folks with borderline devotional love for email, committed to the idea of making it noise-free and collaborative for teams. Why email you may ask? Email is one of the most common ways to communicate at work, is far less distracting than its chat counterparts, and lets you respond at your own pace. But it hasn’t evolved over the years to meet the changing collaboration needs of businesses. Teams have to rely on inefficient methods like Forwards and CCs to share information, often leading to messy threads and missed emails. Not to mention the toll it takes on your productivity, ability to concentrate and all things zen. We at Hiver are trying to solve this by giving email collaborative superpowers and, in the process, giving you back the most important currency there is - time.

Shopflo is an enterprise technology company providing a specialized checkout infrastructure platform designed to boost conversion rates for direct-to-consumer (D2C) e-commerce brands. Founded in 2021, it focuses on enhancing the online buying experience through fast, customizable, and secure checkout pages that reduce cart abandonment. 

We aim to supercharge conversions for e-commerce websites at checkout by improving user experience, helping build stronger intent and trust during the purchase

Problem statement -

(1) There is ~70% drop off at checkout for most independent e-commerce retailer (outside of large marketplaces)

(2) E-commerce cart platforms allow minimal flexibility on checkout, with their experience still same as the last decade

(3) Whereas user experiences are defined by new consumer platforms such as Swiggy, Amazon, etc.

There is a fundamental unbundling of monolith shopping cart platforms globally for mid-market and enterprise customers, who are moving towards headless (read modular) architecture.

Shopflo aims to be the global default for checkout experiences.
