Carousell

Carousell was started in August 2012 by Siu Rui, Lucas, and Marcus, with the goal of providing their users with the tools they need to solve problems. Whether it's decluttering or making extra money, there are options for everyone. They believe that technology can help tackle important problems on a large scale. They're working to create the most frictionless user experience possible for individuals to sell what they don't need and find what they do.

Carousell is the largest classifieds company in Greater Southeast Asia, with a goal to encourage people all over the world to start selling and to make secondhand the preferred option. The group, which was founded in August 2012 in Singapore, has a dominant presence in eight markets, servicing tens of millions of monthly active users under the brands Carousell, Mudah.my, Cho Tot, OneKyat, and Ox Street. Leading investors include Telenor Group, Rakuten Ventures, Naver, STIC Investments, and Sequoia Capital India.

It began as a classified ad site and has now expanded into a C2C and B2C marketplace. The company's estimated value is likely to exceed $1 billion in the near future.
