Founded by LeMarc Johnson
An online marketplace where people buy, sell and bid on the toys, games, clothes, tapes and tech of the 1980s through Y2K, stocked by vetted independent sellers.
"What you get when Myspace and eBay make a baby..."
The nostalgia market is spread across generic resale sites where nothing is curated and nothing is verified. ThrowbackBuys puts it in one place, with curators who assemble Time Capsules and Top 8s and run live auctions.
Millennials and Gen X buying back what they grew up with, and the collectors and resellers who sell through it.
Curation, for one era, the 1980s through Y2K. It also publishes its own research on the category.
Contributions go into the fund that writes them. If ThrowbackBuys exits one day, our share comes back to the fund and goes out again, which is what makes us an evergreen fund.
A marketplace that matches companies with vetted student freelancers for marketing, business and tech work.
Lets founders and creatives trade services with each other instead of paying cash.
Buy and sell luxury and vintage goods in person, with the money held until the buyer has the item in hand.
Updates on the founders we back and the work behind the checks.
