🛒 Phia’s AI Resale App Is Changing How We Shop

🗞️ TL;DR: Phoebe Gates (yes, Bill Gates' daughter) and Sophia Kianni (Gen Z UN Advisor + activist) launched Phia, an AI-powered shopping app that scans 250M+ resale listings (The RealReal, StockX, Poshmark, etc). [🔗 WWD]

💎 Why This Matters:
Resale is a $218B+ market. AI makes it frictionless to shop and sell smarter. Phia is a personal shopper + market analyst for resale.
