Dear Poshmark Community,

Last week, as we celebrated our 10th annual PoshFest, I watched this phenomenal community come together to inspire and support one another, embrace new ideas and build your businesses together. As I connected with many of you, I felt deeply energized and confident in our shared future. That’s why I’m thrilled to share our next step as a business, and what it means for you, the millions of Poshers who are the heart of this company.

Today, we announced that Poshmark has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Naver, Korea’s largest internet company. This is a tremendously exciting point in Poshmark’s journey. I believe this step will provide us with more resources and the flexibility of being a private company, strengthen our ability to serve our sellers and shoppers with new technology and world-class search capabilities, accelerate our live selling efforts, and leverage Naver’s significant resources and expertise to scale our community as it expands globally.  

Our mission has always been to put people at the heart of commerce, empowering everyone to thrive. We envisioned a vibrant community, equipped with leading-edge technology, that could share their style and create the largest network of shoppable closets across the world. By joining forces with Naver, we can build a more sustainable, more social future of shopping—on a much bigger scale. 

Once the transaction closes, Poshmark shareholders will realize significant and immediate value – Poshmark will no longer trade on the public markets, and for those of you who own Poshmark stock, you will receive $17.90 in cash per share. We will continue to operate independently, as a standalone subsidiary of Naver. Our current management team, brand, mission, values and—above all—our focus on our community, will remain the same. What will change is our capacity to invest in the areas that will enable our community to thrive for the next decade and beyond.

The future of fashion is in your closet, and I believe that this future is brighter than ever.

Sincerely,

Manish Chandra
Founder and CEO, Poshmark
