Ideel, formerly ideeli,[3] is a flash sale based online retailer based in New York City.[4][5]
History and Operations
Founded in 2006, its $77M in revenue in 2010 led Inc. to rank it as the fastest growing company in the United States for 2011.[6] In August 2012, Ideeli moved from Soho to the 45th floor of the New York Times Building.[7] It has raised $70M in venture capital funding.[8]
Ideel's business model is based on acquiring excess or sample merchandise and selling it quickly at very steep discounts to their members. Sales typically last less than 48 hours.[9]
In January 2014, Groupon bought Ideel for $43 million.[10]
