About Vendah
Vendah is building a marketplace that connects digital-first beauty brands to a network of individual sellers across Brazil, powered by embedded microcredit. Brazil is one of the largest beauty markets globally (~$30B), with millions of individuals already selling through fragmented, offline channels that lack modern infrastructure. After pivoting to a marketplace + credit model, traction has accelerated: GMV is growing ~30% MoM, we’re approaching 1,000 active sellers, and risk-adjusted margins are now positive and improving. We’re building a network of sellers powered by a proprietary credit engine.
