Alpay Koralturk, the CEO of furniture resale platform Kaiyo, explains the opportunity and the challenges ahead for his startup
There used to be something of a stigma around "used" furniture. Now, whether it's to circumvent supply chain issues, get a deal, find something unique, or go the more sustainable route, furniture resale is an increasingly hot business, and Kaiyo is one of the hottest platforms. The site, founded in 2014 by entrepreneur Alpay Koralturk, offers a smooth e-commerce experience for buying and selling used furniture online, mostly in the Northeast. Now, with a $36 million fundraise in the bank, Koraltuck is looking to expand across the U.S. On this episode of the podcast, he discusses what's next both for Kaiyo and the world of furniture resale.
