We started Palmstreet in 2020 with a simple idea: creating an open and inclusive community for everyone who loves plants. What began as a plant identification app quickly evolved into something much bigger when we discovered the power of live commerce. Today, we're a team of about 50 people building what we like to call the 'World's Online Main Street' - a place where real people connect over shared passions, whether that's rare plants, handmade crafts, crystals, reptiles, or unique collectibles.
Our platform has grown to over 2 million passionate collectors and sellers, and we've been fortunate to partner with investors who believe in our vision (a16z, Craft Ventures, and Headline). We're not trying to be another faceless marketplace. We're building something different - a place where you can actually talk to the seller, ask questions in real-time, and discover items that come with stories attached. Our team works from everywhere, and we're proud of the inclusive community we're fostering where businesses of all sizes can thrive.
