ABOUT OUR MISSION: #ReduceReuseRelovv

Did you know that fashion is the 2nd most wasteful industry in the world - worse than oil!? Relovv is the way to save the planet from your closet! 

Relovv is way more than a fashion marketplace - we are a sustainable fashion community and movement to #ReduceReuseRelovv in style! We make sustainable, relovved fashion available at fast fashion prices. On our free app, members connect with eachother as well as buy and sell fashion from their own closets. We match our members like a dating app, helping buyers and sellers be more successful. 

Relovv is also more than the name of our app. It is also the name of our patent-pending feature that allows anyone to be an entrepreneur. Like Pinterest pinning or Twitter’s retweet, simply RELOVV someone else’s item to sell it on your page and earn money. This is one of our many innovative features. 

About our Founder:

In the words of Christine Hunsicker who sold her first company to Yahoo for $850 million, "Alex will eat through a wall." Alex is the 25 year old founder behind relovv.
While in college at Boston University, Alex created a hobby-website called UNItiques to be a fun way for girls on campus to share closets. She was shocked when it spread to 600 campuses, and the demand from members outside of college continued to grow. Meanwhile, Alex was recognized as the "Face of Sustainability," as well as awarded the "Best New Venture" of 16,000 students, which got the attention of Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine, College Fashionista, and even TV show Project Runway Startup on Lifetime. After graduating, Alex made it her mission to spread "relovving" fashion beyond the campus. She began developing relovv, taking all the best pieces from UNItiques and combining them with new, unique features. Relovv launches the Summer of 2018, and has already been backed by the prestigious Techstars Venture Accelerator. Alex was certified, in-person, by Former Vice President Al Gore as a Climate Reality Leader, and is hailed as a speaker at world-class universities nationwide, including Harvard University.

Here's a quick check list on what makes Relovv different:

Selection / Pricing: Go on any other fashion marketplace / app and look at their items under $25. You will immediately see the difference.

*MATCHING*- get matched like a dating app to the items you’re most likely to buy. If you’re a size L, you will not see S or M! 

Relovv - sell other people's items by relovving them and earn money and points. 

“Next Generation” - focus on target demographic of 12-25 and their $30 average pricepoint to make relovved fashion as affordable as fast fashion!

No Commission / Transparent pricing - tell us how much you want to make and you will always make that much money. We add a flat fee to the listing price (which the buyer pays) so selling is 1000000% free. 

At Will:

You accept this internship opportunity at will. We kindly request that you give us two weeks notice should you wish to discontinue.
