ThredUp, a secondhand resale platform, has ended 2023 on a high note with record-breaking financial results for the fourth quarter. The company recorded a significant revenue increase of 14 percent year-over-year, reaching $81.4 million.

Gross profits for the year echoed this expansion, documenting an 11 percent YoY increase at $213.8 million. ThredUp‘s fiscal prudence is further evidenced by its shrinking net loss for the year, down from a staggering $92.3 million in the previous year to $71.2 million…
