District

District is an AI-powered platform that helps independent online sellers build community-driven stores and marketplaces without technical know-how. Founded in 2022 by former Snapchat employees Eddie Koai, Patrick Mandia, and Khoi Tran, District enables sellers to combine live selling, community features, and commerce in one place. The platform hosts over 1,000 businesses and their seller communities, with notable customers including Niknax (5,000+ sellers, $5M+ in 2025 sales) and Stacked Golf ($150,000 in weekly sales). District raised a $14.7 million seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz and Kindred Ventures.
