The startup won the “Scobleizer Demo of the Day” award and 500 Startup’s George Kellerman named the company in his top 10.
Nikki Durkin, Founder of 99Dresses, said YCombinator had helped provide the perfect platform for their global expansion.
“The last three months in Mountain View, California, have been a tremendous experience for myself and the talented team we’ve assembled.
“We’ve been able to hone in on our offering to women all around the world, perfect our business model, and start marketing 99dresses.com.
“99Dresses is an infinite wardrobe for women. Using virtual currency called buttons, women around the world can trade clothing and accessories, so they’re never limited to just the clothes they have at home.
“We’ve created crack for women,” Nikki Durkin said.
“I love it, it’s addictive as Pinterest,” said Krishna Vedati, angel investor and serial entrepreneur.
