In platform trials and case studies, users have called Fleek a “game changer,” noting its help in scaling from hobby reselling to full-time retail.
Company Origins & Growth
Fleek was founded in 2021 by Abhi Arora and Sanket Agarwal, former engineers and marketplace operators, who saw massive inefficiencies in the way secondhand clothing was sourced and sold globally.
While platforms like Depop and Poshmark made resale more accessible to consumers, the suppliers behind the scenes were still working via WhatsApp, spreadsheets, and freight forwarders. Fleek’s mission was to bring that backend infrastructure online.
The company has raised $14.8 million in Series A funding, backed by a16z (Andreessen Horowitz), HV Capital, and former executives from Shopify and Depop, helping the team scale operations and technology across North America, Europe, and Asia.
Why Fleek Matters
Fleek isn’t just a tech platform—it’s an operating system for the global secondhand supply chain. It:
-
Reduces waste by giving garments a second (and third) life
-
Empowers resellers to start or scale fashion businesses with minimal risk
-
Supports circular fashion movements by marrying old clothing with new business models
-
Levels the playing field between global suppliers and independent entrepreneurs
As Huntscreens describes it, Fleek replaces slow, analog sourcing methods with streamlined, tech-enabled retail logistics—bringing vintage fully into the digital age.
