The Hunt, a second-hand social marketplace that allows you to discover, buy and sell curated fashion from the world’s most influential, continues to grow its platform and user base with new ownership and investors. The Hunt is poised to disrupt with its exclusive, ever expanding collection of pre-owned celebrity and influencer closets.
The Hunt functions as a platform designed to allow anyone to ‘hunt’ for products worn by the world’s most influential, using a crowdsourcing model that helps identify the problem of where to buy an item by a community of people. The new ownership, which took over in late 2019 to reinvent the Hunt, aimed to integrate this social second-hand commerce platform for progression into the 2020 tech and shopping culture, while keeping the original integrity of their ‘hunt’ discovery mechanism.
“Through technology we’re constantly on the hunt for the latest fashion trends,” Natalia Diaz, the co-founder of The Hunt, said. “Whether it’s through social platforms, blogs, tv shows, music videos or films, we created a hub that centralizes our searches in one platform allowing anyone to buy, sell and find trends that are worn by the world’s leading fashion and brand curators.”
The new integration allows customers to shop and discover products based on curated fashion trends and unique, worthy pieces worn on red carpet events, music videos, tv shows, film and more. The Hunt also introduces a VIP component, where users can purchase directly from influencer & celebrity closets in a more curated format, offering special onboarding services to the talent sellers.
The Hunt is the first of its kind, offering users the ability to access exclusive items from closets of their favorite celebrities, models and influencers such as Martha Hunt, Devon Windsor and Terrence Jenkins, with additional names to be continuously added.
In addition to the introduction of the revised social second hand shopping platform, The Hunt announces new investments from Fanatics Founder Michael Rubin (CEO of Kynetic, Chairman of Fanatics and Rue Lala), Rocco Bassilico (CEO of Oliver Peoples, Rayban and Luxotica Eyewear) and partners Andrew Resnick (Tech Entrepreneur), Natalia Diaz (Founder of Small Wonder Digital Agency & Tech Entrepreneur) and Nick Rose ( (Blockchain Investor and Environmentalist)
This revised and updated platform is the vision of the new co-founders,, based on feedback from their user and customer base, as well as patterns of activity seen in the app platform.
“Resale is the most sustainable fashion, now more than ever people are wearing clothes only one time and then just sits in their closet. Ironically, the nicer the piece the less it is worn,” said Andrew Resnick, co-founder, The Hunt. “We believe that the Hunt gives the aspirational consumer a chance to own a piece of something they consider cool and of quality. Our customers have an emotional connection with influencers and celebrities and we aim to be an extension of it while helping preserve the environment.”
