Other executives have held senior roles at eBay, Gilt Groupe, FreshDirect, BarnesandNoble.com, MLB.com, Group Commerce, and Venmo. We are backed by prominent venture capital firms like Benchmark Capital, Index Ventures, Insight Ventures, and Spark Capital. Alibaba Group has also made a significant investment.
