01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Tradesy was a Los Angeles-based online marketplace for buying and selling pre-owned luxury and designer fashion, founded in 2009 by Tracy DiNunzio. It ran a peer-to-peer resale platform for women's fashion and accessories, positioning itself as the United States pioneer in fashion resale. On March 15, 2022, Paris-based Vestiaire Collective announced its acquisition of Tradesy, combining a 23-million-member community and over $1 billion in annual gross merchandise value; the standalone Tradesy brand was subsequently wound down.
