Founded in 2011, Poshmark is the largest social commerce marketplace for fashion where anyone can buy, sell and share their personal style. With millions of shoppers and over 1.5 million sellers, Poshmark brings together a vibrant community everyday to express themselves and share their love of fashion. The company has made it so simple to sell your style that the Poshmark community uploads over three million dollars worth of inventory into the marketplace every day - right from their phone. Poshmark has raised over $70 million in funding from Mayfield, Menlo Ventures, GGV Capital, Inventus Capital, SoftTech VC, Union Grove Venture Partners, Shea Ventures and AngelList. The company was also named a top retail brand to watch and one of the top three shopping apps for college students in Goldman Sachs' 2016 dotCommerce Report.
