Bazaa, founded by Voly's Thibault Henry and Depop's Aria Wigneswaran, kicks off with $650K from angels. They're reshaping the pre-loved furniture scene with thousands of items already listed.
Bazaa, the brainchild of Thibault Henry and Aria Wigneswaran, has just secured a hefty $650K in pre-Seed funding from angel investors. Aimed at revolutionizing the antique and vintage furniture market, Bazaa offers a unique platform for buyers and sellers to find, buy, and sell one-of-a-kind items. With thousands of items already listed across various categories, it's clear that Bazaa is setting a new standard for online antique shopping.
Henry and Wigneswaran have built Bazaa with a focus on creating a seamless experience for users. From easy navigation across six distinct sections to a simple fee structure that's more favorable than traditional auction houses or platforms like eBay, Bazaa is all about making vintage and antique shopping a breeze. Their commitment to sustainability and the charm of pre-loved items is evident in every aspect of the platform.
Bazaa's approach to the market is seller-friendly, with a flat 15% commission on sales and no listing fees. This strategy not only supports sellers ranging from seasoned antique store owners to passionate furniture restorers but also attracts a wide array of buyers. With a growing interest in sustainable living and second-hand furniture in Australia, Bazaa is timely in its entry into the marketplace, championing the reuse of vintage and antique items.
The founders' passion for interior design and sustainability drives Bazaa. They envision a future where pre-loved pieces not only continue to tell their stories but also contribute to a more sustainable world. By uniting a community around this vision, Bazaa is not just a marketplace; it's a movement towards a circular economy where every purchase supports the ethos of reuse and responsible consumption.
