About

Zanbazaar was a social shopping platform that enabled anyone to create beautiful, community-curated catalog pages of products they wanted to editorialize and recommend to others. Authors earned a portion of the referral bonus for products sold through their catalogs. The platform combined social engagement with e-commerce product discovery, allowing users to share trusted product recommendations and helping retailers reach engaged audiences through peer influence rather than traditional advertising. Founded in 2006 as part of Y Combinator's Summer 2006 batch and headquartered in Boston, MA, Zanbazaar was an early pioneer of the social commerce model before shutting down in 2007.

Summary

It lists 1–10 employees. It has raised $125K in total across 1 round, most recently a $125K Seed round in 2006 (est.). Investors include Y Combinator.
