Founded in 2015 in South Korea as Danggeun Market, Karrot is a C2C (consumer-to-consumer) marketplace platform centered on neighborhoods, or "dongnae" in Korean. The company's mission is to foster a sense of local community and promote a circular economy by making it easy for users to buy and sell used goods with people in their immediate vicinity. Beyond its marketplace function, Karrot has expanded to include local business profiles, job boards, and community forums, evolving into a "super app" for local life. The service verifies users based on their physical location to ensure trust and relevance within the community.
