About the Company

Veepee

Members-only flash sales of branded goods

Veepee runs a members-only online platform for flash sales of branded products, including fashion, accessories, home goods, and travel. Members sign up to access limited-time offers, with inventory sourced by partnering with brands to sell overstock or past-season items. The platform earns a commission on sales and has expanded into travel deals and a second-hand marketplace called Re-turn. Unlike many retailers, Veepee relies on exclusive, time-limited sales to create urgency and partners with brands to provide a channel for clearing excess stock without diluting brand image. The goal is to connect brands with value-seeking consumers through targeted, time-bound events while growing the member base and expanding category coverage.
