Today, we’re introducing District to the world!
District is an AI commerce platform that lets anyone build and manage a world-class commerce business. Create online stores, marketplaces, live selling platforms, and more, designed for how you sell today.
More than a thousand businesses are already powered by District with top performers already generating millions in sales.
We’ve raised $14.7M in funding to date led by @a16z and @KindredVentures , with participation from @GreylockVC , @JarenGlover , @gokulr , @soleio , @dottkhan , @jacobandreou , @petersellis , @jsiegz , @svangel , @20vcFund , Maria Raga, Deborah Liu, and others.
PERSONAL UPDATE: After 5+ years, I am leaving @a16z to start a fund! This was the toughest career decision of my life. I learned from the best partners and was privileged to work with incredible founders. So why leave? It is simply time to build. More to come on this.
