Announcing Rrrastro! Rastro is Amazon search for every auction lot in Europe: we help interior designers, collectors and auction nerds find nice things. Auctions? In 2024? Hear me out. I spent January 2023 in an empty, frigid Lisbon apartment with Maggie. We'd just moved to Europe, our life fit in carry-on suitcases, and we needed two things: heating (surprisingly), and a space that felt like ours. For 6 months, we roamed through every vintage market in the city, poster shops in Porto and antique stores in attics. How do picky people find nice things? A year later, as I left Shopify, I asked a dealer and a market seller directly. They had the same answer: they spend 3 hours a day tearing their hair out scrolling auction lots. The rewards were not just antiques, but also vintage wines, Gucci umbrells and mid-century coffee tables. The deals were worth it, but buried ten foot deep, and their jobs had turned into non-stop scrolling. Rastro brings joy back to sourcing. Instantly access all auctions in Europe, without the headaches. We analyze every single auction lot in Europe with AI to tag the most promising products for you. Search with anything: by image, country, or description in any language. Interior designers, collectors, antique dealers and auction lovers: check us out Rastro (YC S24), Rastro.ai Lots more planned with the Rastronauts @Augustin and @Papa. More news soon 🙂

Wow soooo proud of my son! Go go go Baptiste
Congrats for the launch Baptiste - can people based in the US buy there too?
Fantastic idea
How are the auction lots digitized? Or are they already happening online and you index this data with Rastro?
Super excited to try this! 💪
I heard you out. It’s remarkable work, sir!
