Fashion, Inc. (Fab.com)

Fashion, Inc. was the legal entity behind Fab.com, the design-focused e-commerce and flash-sale marketplace founded in 2010 by Jason Goldberg and Bradford Shellhammer after pivoting from the Fabulis social network. Fab raised roughly $150M across rounds led by Menlo Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz and Atomico, listed Battery Ventures among its backers, and passed ten million members by December 2012 before layoffs and a collapse in growth. PCH International acquired Fab's digital assets in March 2015; the site was later repositioned around health and fitness goods and went offline in December 2022. The company is defunct and operated no public developer program or API. The fab.com domain is today registered to Epic Games, Inc. and serves Epic's unrelated Fab digital-asset marketplace, so nothing currently published at that host belongs to this company.

Fashion, Inc. (Fab.com) is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, E-Commerce, Retail, Design, and Consumer.
