Company Blurb:

Isthmus App makes it easy and fun to discover, connect, and share items with like-minded groups. (Think outdoor gear, books, slow fashion, vintage clothes, baby items, and more.)

We’re not just a marketplace, we’re a community-powered platform. And more than a business, we are a movement that will shift how we consume and connect with others.

Problem:

The secondhand clothing market is exploding with $28B in sales last year ($64B projected in the next 5 years). Instead of using P2P secondhand marketplaces, 500 million+ people prefer trading clothes within online communities. But since the platforms they use (Facebook, Reddit, Instagram) are not built for these purposes, they're failing group leaders and members. It's time for a better way to buy, sell, and trade together.
