Encore, a new search engine founded by Alex Ruber and Parth Chopra, aggregates results from multiple online thrift stores to simplify secondhand shopping. Using AI technology, it processes natural language queries, enabling users to search for specific items or outfits from TV shows. As part of Y Combinator's fall batch, Encore handles over 50,000 monthly searches and is growing rapidly. With the U.S. secondhand retail market expected to reach $73 billion by 2028, Encore is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend.
