CHICMI is a fashion e-commerce marketplace, connecting fashion lovers in NYC, London, LA and other cities with each other and with retailers. Our 400k registered users go to events, meet up, share tips, buy, sell, exchange and shop exclusive prices!
Our 500 brand and retail partners sell to these fashion lovers on the platform, shipping directly to them - generating $3.5m in sales each year, transacted directly on our site. We don't hold or buy stock, instead taking a commission on the sale.
We also have 1,200 Pro subscribers, paying us $5.99 per month, generating £55k in ARR.
Our platform is built in-house with PHP running on AWS behind the website, plus Python for extensive automation, and React Native for our mobile apps for iOS and Android.
We have been investing heavily over the last year, ready to raise a £650k seed round this year. Unfortunately our co-founder fell badly ill, so we are looking to exit instead.

The vast majority of these scams involve the transfer of substantial sums of money. We advise all transactions made are through a solicitor to prevent fraudulent activities from occuring.
Send a test amount before you consider handing over a large amount of funds. Maybe even try transferring £1, and then speaking to your solicitor to confirm receipt.
Do not disclose proof of funds directly to the sellers. If the sellers request you to show proof of funds, we advise that it is done through a solicitor to prevent fraudulent activities from occuring.
Buying a business is not covered by consumer rights legislation. It is your responsibility to acquire a business that holds up in quality and agreement.
Fraudsters will typically use false news in an attempt to get you to act quickly. For example, 'Your account has been disabled. Reset your password now.'.
Review the performance of a business to make appropriate financial projections. Some businesses are dormant or not trading, so it is essential to check their short and long-term potential.
