Mission
Our mission
We're on a mission to help people buy better.
To help people take back control of their purchases through knowledge.
Every day we're surrounded by products competing for our attention. Billions of dollars are spent persuading us to buy more, upgrade sooner, and believe the next purchase will finally be the right one.
The result isn't just overflowing closets. It's uncertainty.
Is this a fair price? Is it well made? Will it hold its value? Will I still be happy I bought it a year from now?
We believe shoppers deserve better answers than advertising can provide.
That's why Zozy exists.
To give people independent knowledge before they buy, so they can spend on what's worth it, walk away from what isn't, and feel good about every purchase they make—and those they don't.
Our commitment
Zozy answers to one person: you.
We don’t take money from brands, sellers, or a cut of anything you purchase. We only earn revenue when we provide real value to you and our community, which means the only side Zozy is ever on is yours.
Our Vision
Independent by Design
Our goal is to become the source you trust whenever you're weighing a purchase. We combine real market data with an ever-growing community of honest feedback, so you're not just seeing what something sells for - you’re seeing what people actually think after they've lived with it.
Price tells you what something costs. People tell you what it's worth.
That only works if Zozy is completely independent. The second a company can pay to influence what you see, incentives misalign. That's why we built our business so it never depends on brand money.
Here's what that means in practice:
No ads. No brand can pay to put a product, a price, or a recommendation in front of you.
No partnerships. No affiliate links. We don't take money from manufacturers, retailers, or marketplaces. We earn nothing whether you buy something or walk away. That means every recommendation starts in the same place: what's best for you.
We never sell your data. Your photos, your items, and your decisions belong to you. Not advertisers.
Funded only by our members. The only people Zozy answers to are the people who use it. That's why our business is built on subscriptions- not ads, commissions, or selling your data.
Our Team
Zozy has been dreamed up and built by a lean team of doers who believe that shopping can be both smart, and sustainable.
Maren started her entrepreneurial journey in college, combining a love for storytelling with a passion for finding hidden gems, flipping thrifted jewelry on eBay. She went on to build and sell two companies in the recruiting space - Zozy is a return to her passion for good deals and allergy to mindless, over-consumption.
Dibo joined the team as intern when Zozy was still a seed of an idea. Through the operational and technical foundation foundation that led to our product pivot, he began building Zozy to bring our vision of conscious consumption and knowledge driven shopping to life. Through his time as developer, Dibo has been driven by the mission of making Zozy as seamless and integrated as possible, keeping intuitive interaction and user experience as his north star.
