How it happened

ThredUp is an online resale marketplace for secondhand clothing that went public in 2021 at a valuation around $1.8B. Persistent losses and slowing growth pressured the stock, cutting its market cap to roughly $0.45B (~-75% from peak) and dropping it below unicorn status as a public company.
