]]>This latest financing round was led by Sierra Ventures, with participation from the company’s pre-seed lead investor Origin Ventures and brings its total financing to date to $27 million. Hammoq startup has Automated More than a Half Million Resale Product Listings Across a Broad Network of eCommerce Marketplaces Using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
A glut of online retail returns and a flourishing market for sustainable fashion upcycling and vintage items has created an exploding reCommerce industry. With this financing round, Hammoq will accelerate development of its AI and machine learning platform to automate marketplace listings and open up channels for reseller financing as well as product sourcing.
“The reCommerce market is exploding, with the fashion resale market alone expected to reach $26 billion in 2022,” said Sid Lunawat, CEO and Co-Founder of Hammoq. “There are an abundance of resale marketplaces supporting this economy. Yet, the largest gap is in the labor required to identify product value and push it to the marketplaces. With rising labor costs, the need for automation in the reCommerce industry continues to grow. Using AI and machine learning, Hammoq has put a major dent in this labor gap, empowering its customers to automate the identification and listing process. Our latest funding will accelerate tech development while supporting our sales and marketing strategies to capitalize on this rising opportunity.”
Goodwill of the San Francisco Bay and Hammoq share a deep commitment to sustainability. Hammoq’s AI technology is helping Goodwill to process more material donations, more quickly to help divert more items from landfill. Donated items are given a second life in Goodwill thrift stores.
Another customer of Hammoq is reseller Flip the World. “Before we brought Hammoq on to handle our listings, I would average around 40-50 listings a week. Listing across platforms is time consuming work and after a full day of sourcing, cleaning, prepping and photographing I found that I was falling asleep in bed trying to get my listings up,” said Chris Hatfield, Owner, Flip the World. “Now with Hammoq, we’ve more than doubled our weekly listings and have gone from a 500-item store to over 2,000 in less than two months. It’s been a game changer for our business. Now we can focus on the most important part of reselling, sourcing the items, rather than the listing.”
Hammoq was co-founded by reCommerce industry veterans Sid Lunawat and Ty Blunt, sustainability advocates who believe the 80 billion resalable items dropped in landfills every year have a viable purpose for prolonged use. After successful stints running a reseller business, Lunawat and Blunt understood that identifying and easily listing products for resale was an acute pain point. To solve this challenge, they developed the Hammoq software platform using AI and machine learning to enable listing at scale. Starting with a simple photo, the platform uses product data to automatically enable listings across dozens of resale marketplaces. Hammoq has listed over 600,000 products for sale and ensures 100% compliance with data listing requirements prior to pushing to the marketplaces.
“Hammoq is uniquely serving the exploding reCommerce industry by applying technology to solve sellers’ largest challenge: intelligent, real-time listings,” said Vignesh Ravikumar, Partner, Sierra Ventures. “Their solution and business model are well aligned with our mission to invest early in emerging technology companies that are moving the needle in key market areas. Their SaaS reCommerce solution is delivering precisely what the rapidly transforming market needs as consumers actively seek ways to buy used products that support sustainability and reuse.”
Hammoq is a company that is reimagining reCommerce, digitizing resale goods and automating online listings so customers can list and sell more. Established in 2021 and based in Phoenix, Hammoq has supported the identification and listing automation process for more than 600,000 items. For resellers, liquidators, thrift and retail organizations, Hammoq enables the resale of returns, lost SKUs, overstocks and other pre-loved goods. Built by resellers for resellers Hammoq’s SaaS platform drives customers’ ability to scale reCommerce, while significantly reducing the time and labor needed to get merchandise online.

]]>Retail returns topped $761 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach trillions over the next few years. Due to the complexity of processing these items for resale, merchandise is frequently incinerated, exported, liquidated for pennies on the dollar or dumped into landfills. This is not only unsustainable, it’s costly. As online shopping flourishes and the culture of ‘buy and return’ continues to overwhelm retailers, a resulting used goods marketplace has emerged to a tune of $36 billion in 2022. And that’s just apparel, electronics adds $32.5 billion, used furniture another $12 billion, the list goes on -– placing the resale industry sternly in the trillions.
While there is an abundance of product and a variety of resale marketplaces where these items could be sold, the barrier is in the processing and listing of these products. This has traditionally been a labor-intensive process where products must be manually identified, valued, and characterized before listing for sale. With artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, all this is changing.
Retailers, along with used product resellers, non-profits, thrifters and liquidators, want to capitalize on this thriving reCommerce market to cut the billions of dollars going to waste. AI and machine learning has become the answer. Here are the key ways AI is enabling the reCommerce industry to scale.
There are many uses for AI and machine learning technology, but perhaps none are as market changing as how AI can transform reCommerce. AI bridges the gap between sustainability, labor shortages, and the increasing consumer demand for recycled goods. It will indeed change the game for today’s retailers as they move quickly to compete in today’s competitive retail industry and maximize the losses from high volumes of returns.

]]>The fact that not just young people, but adults, are struggling to control their smartphone addiction — even at work — raises the following question: should we use bold, broad-based approaches to help people develop healthy screen habits while they are young?
To answer this question Screen Education partnered with Innovate MR and statistician Glenn Stark to survey three relevant stakeholder groups — high school students, high school teachers, and workplace managers.
When asked whether they believe smartphones should have built-in AI applications that sense when young people are using their smartphone in an addictive way, and that then help them regain control:
When asked whether they believe school systems should teach students, as they progress through each grade level, how to control their screen time:
When asked whether they believe there should be regulations requiring the companies that create the most addictive apps — games, social media, streaming video — to place daily time limits on young people to reduce their daily screen time:
When asked whether they believe society should place greater emphasis on cultivating personal qualities that would help youth control their screen time, such as discipline, self-control, sacrifice, the drive to achieve:
According to Michael Mercier, President of Screen Education, “We’ve been having a national conversation about addressing smartphone addiction for five years. This research reveals that very strong majorities of people are fed up with the enormous toll smartphone addiction is taking, and that they therefore support broad, bold solutions that limit children’s screen time, and that help them develop the ability to self-limit their screen time.”
Other issues examined in the study include the following:
All three surveys were fielded during the summer of 2021, included a combined total of 1,388 respondents, and had a margin of error of 4-5%.
