Overview

ShopShops is an interactive global livestream shopping platform that connects shoppers in the U.S. and China to brick-and-mortar stores and sellers worldwide via host-driven livestream events. Its mobile app has operated since 2018 and curates fashion, beauty, food and lifestyle products from over 30 cities and more than 750 brand partners. Host sellers create interactive, in-store live events that allow real-time shopper engagement on fit, styling and discovery; ShopShops runs 30+ daily live shopping events. The company launched a U.S. beta in December 2020 and saw early traction alongside growing U.S. demand for live shopping content. ShopShops positions itself as a scalable distribution and marketing channel for brands and retailers adapting to shifts in retail, and designers like Rebecca Minkoff have cited revenue from ShopShops hosts as important for stores during COVID-19. The company plans to use new funding to accelerate U.S. expansion and continue growth among premium cross-border shoppers in China.
