Challenge

AptDeco was meant as an end-to-end service to encourage people to discover great furniture finds for the home again. The whole user experience was supposed to be easy and enjoyable - the easiest way to buy & sell your furniture. Keeping in mind that this was to be the first service to provide such options to users and intended to change their behavior, we had to create a powerful and intuitive UI so that people could easily make purchases and list their items. Another challenge was to provide strong security of transactions and personal information such as names, addresses and bank details.

Solution

After a few months of work we successfully launched the first version of AptDeco marketplaces and the first sale was completed within just one hour! Since then this business continues to growand has expanded into new cities. AptDeco was also selected by Y Combinator into their program and then received funding from several investors.

Outcome
