Kaiyo is an online marketplace committed to great design, exceptional customer care, and a more sustainable planet.

Forget about dealing with strangers, renting cars, five flights of stairs, impossible doorways, and hours of assembly. Our team handles all the hassle so you don't have to.
Our company has entered a hyper-growth phase, serving the New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles metro areas, with plans for continued expansion. Our team is experienced — we’ve scaled companies before and have seen successful exits. Our customers are passionate; we receive stellar reviews and have a world-class NPS score. We’ve been featured in top-tier publications including The Wall Street Journal (https://www.wsj.com/articles/reselling-furniture-expert-tips-11643987380) , Forbes (https://www.forbes.com/sites/sanfordstein/2021/12/22/the-furniture-resale-business-is-ripe-for-disruption-kaiyo-may-be-the-disruptor/) , The Washington Post, (https://www.washingtonpost.com/home/2022/01/26/antiques-vintage-furniture-popular-during-pandemic/) and Vogue (https://www.vogue.com/article/whats-old-is-new-again-vintage-furniture-is-the-hottest-home-decor-trend) and are funded by Edison Partners, Moderne Ventures, Lerer Hippeau, Correlation Ventures, and Max Ventures.
