Queenly raises $2.3M for its dress marketplace
One of our favorite companies from the most recent Y Combinator batch has closed a seed round. This morning Queenly announced that it has closed a $2.262 million round, following its $800,000 pre-seed raise. TechCrunch covered the company in February, noting that the company was building something akin to the StockX for women’s formal wear.
Queenly runs a marketplace that allows individuals and small stores to resell dresses after they’ve been worn, allowing for more women to access at a lower price point the items they want to wear to a prom, quinceañera or pageant. And as the service could help reduce net clothing waste, it could have a positive environmental impact as well.
