Ideeli, the closed shopping network where consumers can buy luxury brands at discounted prices, has just secured $3.8 million in Series A funding, led by Kodiak Ventures and angel investors.
Ideeli is a members-only shopping community that offers women's luxury bags, sunglasses, jewelry, accessories, fragrances and more for 50 to 90% off original prices from top luxury and fashion brands, plus giveaways every week.
All the items are only available for a limited time, and they have a limited quantity of each, so it pays to move quickly if you see something you like. All sales are final - no returns.
When you become a member, you can choose to be notified when we post items for sale (or are accepting entries for giveaways) via email (2nd Row member - free) or on your cell phone via text message (1st Row membership - $7.99 per month). 1st Row members can also shop an hour early for all our sales and enter all the giveaways from their cell phones.
Ideeli is a great concept and likely to gain traction. Ideeli has an interesting business model in that it plans to make money from text messages rather than just concentrating on the revenue from the product sales.
