Look in your closet. I’m sure you have tons of clothes that you don’t wear that just takes up space. That is how these three entrepreneurs, Reinhart, Homer and Lubin , created SF based thredUP. ThredUP started out as an online community where people could inexpensively buy and sell used clothing. These 3 soon realized they would tap into children’s clothing since parents retire about 1400 articles of clothing as a child grows. $CHA-CHING$
In April ’10, the site launched a children’s clothing service. For $5, members could purchase a box of used kids’ clothing; they can upload and offload their own boxes. This turned out to be such a hit, they retired the original service and focused in on children’s clothing.
