+77% AOV growth so far this year compared to this time last year (and growing).
We’re mindful of not just buying growth with marketing. The goal is building a durable business by relentlessly improving the product.
Our AOV trend tells the story better than anything else: users are getting dramatically more confident spending higher cart values with Dupe at their side and its because the product got better not because we cranked ad spend.
The secret is we disrupt ourselves constantly. Every other month or two we’re willing to rethink core assumptions, ship risky changes, and rebuild things from scratch if needed. Most experiments don't move the needle, but the learnings compound until one changes the trajectory of the company.
The unlocks so far have been:
→ AI that understands shopping intent more accurately than leading foundation models and shopping startups alike
→ Superior product matching algorithms that understand shoppers' preferences
→ Deep investment in making our partners more money with each click
→ 1B+ products processed across 1M+ stores
→ Major UX upgrades across the experience
→ Major investments in growing the team
Dupe is the only consumer AI shopping platform purpose-built to compound buyer conviction over time.
We're hiring in NYC (or tri-state) btw. We need:
- iOS Eng
- API Eng
- SRE
- Head of Creator
- AI Systems Eng
- Product Designer
- Executive Assistant
- Growth Marketer
- Lifecycle Marketer

I always dreamed to make proper hard sci-fi.
It been around my head for years - to bring life to new universe with predicting-the-future approach. And, of course, add something new to the genre as I did with Tarkov.
Now my life has become twice as difficult. I decided to rush in with the thought: what if more time passes and I no longer can or want to do anything new?
Frago is being developed by separate company that I created, full of great ppl around the globe.
Escape from Tarkov is my life and I'm continue working on it too with my BSG family no matter what.
Tarkov for life.
Frago is the new adventure that I want to share with you.
Thank you for your support and long live hardcore!

Came across this stat in a WaPo article from October:
82% of bets placed by 21–24 year olds are parlays.
A 5-leg parlay wins ~3% of the time (assuming 50% chance on each leg), with a ~21% house edge...
The purest expression of the get-rich-quick mindset gripping my age group.
Small stakes, asymmetric upside, and knowingly poor odds.
