| Cudoni is the leading serviced luxury marketplace in the UK and Europe; leveraging data and technology to provide exceptional service and complete convenience to consumers and businesses in the buying and selling of pre-loved luxury, in a way no resale business has before. We do all the work involved in the sales process; from item collection,through to providing data-driven market valuations, professional photography, descriptions, authentication, listings, storage and fulfilment. Our experience and credibility allows us to attain a 30-50% higher selling price on average for our sellers (than if they sold their items themselves), as pre-owned luxury is a market characterised by counterfeits, and value extraction is often difficult. For those who prefer not to wait for items to sell on consignment, but still want to avoid the hassle of selling themselves, we offer an ‘Instant Purchase’ solution. As we exclusively control inventory, unlike P2P incumbents, buyers are able to browse the most in-demand, curated products, with assurances around authenticity and quality, available for next day delivery at the click of a button. | $9.3M / Series B / Jan 23, 2023 | ||
