💡 How we got here
------------------

In our first week at YC, we built a tool to help interior designers source furniture for less. Early on, a designer told us, “Getting an $8k chair for $4k isn’t material, we do $75k jobs.” Not sure their customer would agree, but it does explain their fee.

Most of us know our taste, but scrolling dozens of websites is a waste of time. Niche sourcing channels are jealously guarded by professional dealers, and the best inventory is difficult to find.

✅ Rastro’s Solution
-------------------

Rastro is your personal interior designer, with no up-front costs.

1.  In an onboarding call, we craft a taste profile for you. Show us your space and tell us what you’re looking for. Share specific pieces you love, styles that inspire you, and how your home is laid out.
2.  Our sourcing agents automatically scour through 46 different sites to find decor matching your tastes. We look through auctions and listing sites as well as classic sources like 1stDibs or West Elm. You receive our top picks and share your feedback directly on Rastro.
3.  We deliver everything you purchase to your door, leveraging retailer partnerships and referrals to ensure a same-price guarantee.
