History

[edit ]

Prior to Poshmark, Manish Chandra founded the social shopping company Kaboodle.[4] After selling Kaboodle to Hearst in 2007,[5] Poshmark was founded in 2011 by Chandra, Tracy Sun, Gautam Golwala, and Chetan Pungaliya in Manish’s garage.[6]

In November 2017, Poshmark announced that it had raised 87ドル.5 million in Series D funding, at a valuation of nearly 600ドル million, in venture-backed funding led by Singapore-based Temasek. Menlo Ventures, GGV Capital, Mayfield and others also participated, bringing their total to date to 160ドル million.[7]

In a May 22, 2018 interview with Reuters, Poshmark's CEO and founder, Manish Chandra, stated that since Poshmark's launch, sellers on the website had earned 1ドル billion selling clothing and accessories. Reuters reported that "much" of these earnings were "concentrated in a group of sellers making five, six and even seven figures" [8]

On January 14, 2021, Poshmark went public, at a valuation of over 3ドル billion, listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol POSH.[9] In October 2021, Poshmark announced its first acquisition, Suede One, a platform for checking the authenticity of sneakers.[10]

In October 2022, South Korean internet conglomerate Naver Corporation agreed to buy Poshmark for a total enterprise value of US1ドル.2 billion.[11] The acquisition finalized in January 2023.[12]

International expansion

[edit ]

Poshmark announced its first international expansion to Canada in May 2019. As of May 2021, there are over 2.5 million Poshmark users in Canada who have listed nearly half a billion dollars worth of inventory.[13]

In February 2021, Poshmark announced its expansion to Australia as part of its strategy to drive long-term growth through international expansion, starting with English-speaking countries. It later expanded into India.[14]
