Our take

GOAT is a resale marketplace with a focus on sneakers, that pioneered the ship-to-verify model. GOAT customers can be sure that their sneakers are authentic, which is especially important for the highly-sought after items that populate GOAT's website and mobile app.

The company has attempted to gain an edge over competitors, such as StockX, by beginning to authenticate items using Nvidia's deep-learning algorithms. Strategic acquisitions of the physical retailer Flight Club and streetwear marketplace Grailed have contributed to GOAT's expansion into brick-and-mortal sales, and online diversification, respectively.
