TPH.co operates a subscription marketplace that connects local vintage shops with vintage-fashion buyers, allowing shops to upload their garments to the platform. The startup aims to bring small second-hand stores into the broader resale market rather than focusing on person-to-person listings. Founders include Lisa Gautier (formerly with Outfittery and FYNDIQ) and cofounder Maki Kobayashi; the team positions the product around unique, sustainable fashion. TPH says it has been gaining traction among both customers and stores. Financially, the company has raised a $250,000 seed round from Seedcamp, Wave Ventures, STING and The Nordic Web Ventures. The raise is framed against strong market tailwinds, citing a ThredUP report that projects the second-hand fashion market at $41 billion by 2022 and resale growing faster than fast fashion through 2027.
