The Main Tab is a New York-based luxury wholesale marketplace that enables curated brands, independent sales reps, and retailers to discover and transact from a single site. The company is redesigning its platform and plans to launch a new website and app this fall with about 200 brands and a waitlist of roughly 1,000 retailers. It operates a sales-rep-friendly model in which sales reps write orders and were integrated into the company after initial contract-related roadblocks. Brands are charged a commission when they receive orders and pay zero commission on retailers they refer or already work with; retailers can access buy-now-pay-later and other rewards based on business status. The company reports an approval rate of about 30% for incoming brand applications and features curated brands like Agraria and Bodewell Living. Founder Liseda Shelegu is focused on cautious, direct sales and marketing outreach while expanding the current team of three.
