Startups were racing to break social shopping.
Lindsay Petper, the founder of the startup in New York and who spent seven years working in Ralph Lauren, enters the battle with Rodio.
Perper Rodeo was founded in 2022 and launched a mobile social shopping application in 2024. The headquarters for the application looks familiar to any TIKTOK user, according to the design.
Perper Business Insider told her that she wants to become Rodeo “a destination for the next generation to shop the way it is passed.”
On Rodeo, users scroll via photos and videos, each with layer shopping products and links on the content. Rodeo users can also synchronize Instagram and Tiktok accounts with automatic content content.
Bayberberry said that the app uses programs like Aws Rekognition and Google from AI to determine the stores that can be stores in the content of users. (If artificial intelligence is wrong, Rodeo also allows users to manually enter products for products.)
AI’s primary application for AI is on the app, but Perper said that customization – the tanner word for many startups currently – will come later on the road map.
Perper Rodeo compares more than any other trade platform. Rodeo wants to shop for shopping in a way that helps Discovery Weekly Playlists and other tools to determine the vitality of music or artists you love.
With the appearance of the Tiktok store, startups for social trade had a new interest from users and investors. The direct shopping application has announced the 265 million dollar financing round in January and said that it has been through $ 3 billion of Livestream sales for 2024. Shopmy, a marketing company, announced a series of 77.5 million dollars in January. Last month, the Creator Shopping LTK application fixed its mobile app to include more discovery and social features.
A few weeks ago, Perper started an intense program to start the rapid operation hosted by Andressen Horowitz. The program is running, Talent X Opportunities (TXO), by A16z Kofi Ampadu partner and the founders of the mentors who are “Building cultural breakthroughs”, according to the A16Z website. The TXO box writes $ 175,000 checks for founders of the program (this last group includes five startups).
Since its launch, Perper Bi told Rodeo that raised $ 950,000 from family and friends. She also said that Rodeo aims to raise another $ 2.5 million of the accelerator, which will allow the start of the operation to expand its team, build more artificial intelligence tools, and ink facility partnerships to provide user growth.
