Why Hero? — We all have too much gear and gadgets we no longer use. Unfortunately, existing marketplaces have failed to adopt modern UX, AI, mobile, or video from the bottom up. That's why we decided to build an AI-native marketplace to rethink all aspects of the selling and buying experience. We talked with hundreds of users during the development of Hero, and the feedback has always been the same — tools are not fun to use, and the process of listing stuff is too frustrating and time-consuming. The v1 of our vision is to simplify cataloging and listing your old electronics for sale. Point your phone, scan, record, and talk about your item, and Hero will do the rest. More to come ??

Hero is so easy – a 5yo can do it ???? Here is our youngest trying to sell his kick scooter ?? https://lnkd.in/gWjjZGMw The title, description, and price are all from the scan and video. You can mention a listing price in the video, and Hero will pull that into the listing — no more typing. We think this is a sweet deal ??

Hear from one of our early users and investors… “I invested as soon as I saw the demo of Hero. It’s an app that uses AI to make selling stuff stupidly simple, by instantly giving you a price and an automated listing. It’s in a private beta but the founder is letting me share a video I took of it.” Get early access: https://lnkd.in/g6YPY84P

Some massive news! Stoked to announce our pre-seed round for Hero. We're building an AI-first, mobile-first marketplace for buyers and sellers. Sell stuff faster with AI — price, identify, and list your items for sale in seconds. Join the waitlist for our private beta. → https://herostuff.com/ We have some incredible investors backing us:?Andreas Klinger,?Jorn van Dijk,?Cyan Banister,?Guillermo Rauch,?Esther Crawford,?Ben Lang,?Aaron White,?Lee J.,?Long Journey Ventures,?Darius Contractor,?Mark William Lewis With the recent developments in AI, we asked ourselves, "what would it be like if buying and selling were completely frictionless?" We decided to find out by building it. I'm so lucky to be building alongside my co-founders Jeremy Herrman and?Kai Gradert ?? The journey will be long, but worth it. If you like moving fast and building stuff at the intersection of AI/consumer, then we want you at Hero. Feel free to DM me or email us at?[email protected]
