Kaiyo is an online marketplace committed to great design, exceptional customer care, and a more sustainable planet. We take the uptight and out-of-reach out of good design by making it easy to buy & sell quality secondhand furniture. Forget about dealing with strangers, renting cars, 5 flights of stairs, impossible doorways, and putting the pieces back together again. Our team handles all the hassle so you don’t have to.
Our company has entered a hyper-growth phase, serving the New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles metro areas, with plans for continued expansion. Our team is experienced — we’ve scaled companies before and have seen successful exits. Our customers are passionate; we receive stellar reviews and have a world-class NPS score. We’ve been featured in top-tier publications including The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, The Washington Post, and Vogue and are funded by Edison Partners, Moderne Ventures, Lerer Hippeau, Correlation Ventures, and Max Ventures.
