Archive, founded in 2021 by Emily Gittins and Ryan Rowe, provides software that lets fashion brands and merchants create tailored resale platforms and peer-to-peer marketplaces. Its platform includes smart pricing, product feeds, warehouse management for intake, processing, repair and fulfillment, analytics for profits and costs, and integrations to connect with brands' existing tools and data. Archive says it can support global brands across multiple continents and already works with more than 50 brands, including New Balance, The North Face and Oscar de la Renta. The company faces competitors such as Trove and Treet but differentiates itself on global support. Archive has raised $54 million to date and recently closed a $30 million Series B. It plans to use the new funding to further develop its resale software, drive product innovation, and is planning to launch resale businesses for many new brands in 2025. Archive began in February 2021 as a peer-to-peer resale marketplace and has since built a warehouse management system to enable “managed resale” for brands and their logistics partners. The platform helps brands process returned, damaged, or exchanged inventory, assess repairs, and list items for resale at scale. Archive says its revenue has grown nearly 10x in the past 12 months and it is working with 32 brand partners, including The North Face, Oscar de la Renta, Cuyana, and Marimekko. The company expects to divert hundreds of thousands of items from landfills in the next year. Archive plans to use new capital to expand product development, build implementation and success teams, and pursue new verticals such as home goods and furniture. It is also expanding internationally, particularly in Europe, and growing its partnership network for cleaning, repair, and warehouse management. Archive builds white-label, brand-specific peer-to-peer resale marketplaces that let consumers buy and sell secondhand merchandise directly alongside a brand's existing retail experience. The platform is customized to match a brand’s look and feel and minimizes inventory and logistics since items are sold directly from seller to buyer. Archive is also developing capabilities for brands to list additional inventory such as returns or damaged items. The company launched in February 2021 and went live with five brands including Dagne Dover, Filippa K, M.M. LaFleur, The North Face and Oscar de la Renta, and says it has a pipeline of about 100 brands. Archive raised $8 million in new funding (bringing total funding to nearly $10 million) to scale its team, operations, and product and technology development. The company has not disclosed specific growth metrics, though the CEO described 'incredible traction' since launching.
