OfferUp was founded in 2011 by Arean van Veelen and Nick Huzar. The company has not publicly endorsed plans to participate in an IPO.
OfferUp is an online customer to customer marketplace where users can sell used furniture, appliances, and more. In 2020, the company acquired Letgo, another C2C marketplace. OfferUp has sought to differentiate itself from other similar platforms by including user profiles and ratings, along with a more modern interface. The company has raised more than $380 million in venture capital funding from investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Warburg Pincus, and OLX Group. OfferUp declined to disclose valuation figures following a $120 million fundraising round in 2020.
