Ideel, formerly ideeli, [3] is a flash sale based online retailer based in New York City. [4] [5]
Founded in 2006, its $77M in revenue in 2010 led Inc. to rank it as the fastest growing company in the United States for 2011. [6] In August 2012, Ideeli moved from Soho to the 45th floor of the New York Times Building. [7] It has raised $70M in venture capital funding. [8]
Ideel's business model is based on acquiring excess or sample merchandise and selling it quickly at very steep discounts to their members. Sales typically last less than 48 hours. [9] In 2014 they rebranded themselves as a source for affordable designer clothing.
In January 2014, Groupon bought Ideel for $43 million. [10] At some point the name became ideel, dropping the final 'i'.
