About Palmstreet:

Palmstreet is the #1 live shopping platform for rare plants, handmade crafts, collectibles, and unique goods. Founded in 2020 by Instagram and Apple veterans, Palmstreet began as a plant identification app and quickly evolved into a trailblazer in live shopping, beginning with plant sellers. Fueled by a passionate community, we rapidly expanded into new categories. Collectibles, launched in 2025, is one of our fastest-growing categories. Our vision is to become the “World’s Online Main Street,” bringing the charm of in-person shopping to engaging, social online experiences. Backed by top Silicon Valley VCs and powered by a nimble, empathetic team, we’ve grown our GMV by 1500x in the last 3 years.
