About
Scratch is a marketplace for impeccable shopping advice. Our customers come to us when they need to buy something that’s important to them, but they don’t have the time or desire to find it themselves (think gifts, home decor, apparel and even trip ideas). Our shopping experts (an in-house team surrounded by a network of third-party specialists, shopping mavens and tastemakers) gather and send recommendations, which our customers can buy with one tap on any device. We combine refined taste and “wow” customer service with elegant technology and analytics to deliver an intimately personal user experience at scale. We help our customers feel better about how they’re spending their money and time. Founded in August 2014, based in Kendall Square and funded by Bessemer Venture Partners, we’ve recently beta launched our service in invite-only mode, and are working out the kinks before we open up the floodgates.
