A pragmatic solution to fashion sustainability
Naha is an early-stage startup based in Stockholm in the field of sustainable fashion.
We turn eco-friendly into the most convenient and effortless option available.
Secondhand marketplaces have been stuck with the same model since the 90s, failing to actually reduce fast-fashion consumption because of the effort they require from the user.
On Naha marketplace, buyers can see all available options from a single product page, just like a normal e-commerce. Searching a piece, making a decision and paying just takes a few seconds, instead of days. Items are sold by resellers, secondhand stores and fashion retailers, who can upload inventory in minutes by connecting their e-commerce or ERP system, accessing new revenue instead of throwing away unsold garments.
Our model eliminates the barriers to sustainable shopping and drives businesses into the circular economy, making eco-friendly choices effortless for everyone.
Naha is supported by KTH Innovation and its network, providing strong technical, business and funding support.
The Founder & CEO Roberto Scifo, navigated fashion reseller and Computer Engineering student, has both a deep domain expertise and the ability to build the product, and is looking for a co-founder with a software / UX engineering background.
Accomplishments & Mid-term goals
We have built the basic infrastructure of operational processes and an MVP with automated end-to-end transactions between sellers and buyers. The current MVP, focused on the sneakers vertical, is already enjoying good early traction - in the tens of thousands € of sales per month.
We are now working on:
- The development of a platform that fully satisfies the customer need with the best possible performance
- EU expansion outside of the current test market, Italy
- Increasing our user base of both sellers and buyers, both via technological development and communication efforts
- Reaching scalable and sustainable unit-economics
- Being in the position to raise a seed round in Q1 2025
