Participated · Equity · Apr 2024
Paradigme operates a secondhand fashion platform that connects buyers and sellers and lists premium brand inventory; the founders say the platform was self-funded until this raise. The company reports about 20,000 customers (buyers and/or sellers) and 150 premium brands available on the service, with roughly 5,000 pieces currently for sale. Cofounded by brothers Vincent and Fabien Huché-Deniset in 2022, the startup has signed a strategic partnership with e‑commerce site Showroomprivé. Paradigme plans to hire to grow its team to about ten people by summer, adding marketing, partnership management and tech staff. Product and engineering work will focus on smoothing the user experience and developing tools for partner brands. The company aims to multiply its current volumes by ten before year-end and to deploy its model more broadly to compete in a crowded resale market.
