Company profile
researched Aug 2026Enjoei operates a Brazilian online marketplace for buying and selling fashion and consumer goods, with an emphasis on giving unused or unsold items a second life. Individuals open their own storefronts on the platform to list new or used clothing, shoes, bags, accessories, jewelry, perfumes, books and electronics; the app cites more than five million listed items and brands including Farm, Zara, adidas, Arezzo, Apple and Samsung. Buyers can search, follow favorites, receive price-drop notifications, ask sellers questions, make offers, and pay by card installments or Pix.
The company is headquartered in São Paulo (Av. Ipiranga 200, Edifício Copan) and is listed on the Brazilian stock exchange under the ticker ENJU3.SA. Its web platform is complemented by iOS and Android apps; the Android app reports more than 10 million downloads and a 3.7-star average across roughly 248,000 reviews. Reported employee counts have grown from about 160 in 2018 to approximately 447 as of mid-2026, and third-party estimates place annual revenue in the $10M–$25M range.
Beyond its core secondhand fashion marketplace, Enjoei has operated adjacent marketplace assets, including Elo7, a platform for handmade and creative products. In May 2026 the company's board approved discontinuing Elo7's operations, citing a sharp revenue decline, intensifying competition from large global e-commerce players, rising customer acquisition costs and scale constraints, while committing to honor obligations on transactions already made.
Founding story
Enjoei started as a blog created by Ana McLaren while she was working at the internet portal iG. McLaren had begun her career in e-commerce as a sales executive at Americanas.com after graduating from the Superior School of Advertising and Marketing (ESPM), then moved into media roles at Abril, iG and Google, before leaving Google to build Enjoei into a full company.
Business model
Enjoei runs a peer-to-peer marketplace model: individual sellers list new or used items and the platform intermediates discovery, negotiation, payments and shipping. Sellers are charged a commission on sales, and the platform offers paid or promotional visibility tools such as a "megaphone," boosted listings and stand-out storefronts, plus an internal wallet ("enjubank") from which sellers transfer proceeds to their bank accounts. Buyer-facing features include price offers and negotiation, buyer protection with money-back if the item does not arrive as expected, card installments and instant Pix payment.
Revenue is generated from commissions on marketplace transactions and from seller-facing promotional and visibility products, alongside payment and shipping services integrated into the platform.
Traction
The company reported $250 million in gross merchandise volume in 2018 with about 160 employees, and approximately 447 employees as of mid-2026 with estimated annual revenue of $10M–$25M. Its Android app has surpassed 10 million downloads with about 248,000 reviews and a 3.7-star average, and the marketplace advertises more than five million listed items.
Latest developments
On May 11, 2026, Enjoei disclosed a material fact stating that its board had approved the discontinuation of the Elo7 handmade-goods marketplace, halting new orders immediately. The company attributed the decision to Elo7's 39.5% year-over-year net revenue drop in Q4 2025, higher customer acquisition costs and competition from large e-commerce multinationals, and said financial and accounting impacts would be detailed in upcoming quarterly results.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies
Market position
Enjoei is described as a prominent Brazilian marketplace for reselling fashion and consumer items, competing in a crowded local e-commerce field that includes OLX, Dafiti, Submarino, Magalu, Casas Bahia, Riachuelo, Amazon and eBay, and facing increasing concentration and competitive pressure from large global e-commerce operators.
The platform positions itself around resale and reuse of items that would otherwise sit unused, combining a low-friction listing flow (including scanning a book's barcode to create a listing) with negotiation tools, buyer protection and seller promotion features, and an informal, colloquial Brazilian brand voice.
Technology
Enjoei runs a web platform plus iOS and Android applications. A third-party profile lists a technology stack including Vue.js, Docker, Integromat, Amazon Route 53, Graylog, Google Workspace, Google Sign-in and Microsoft Advertising. Product features include barcode-scan listing creation for books, in-app offers and messaging, favorites with price-drop notifications, and an internal payments wallet with Pix and card installment support.
Go-to-market
Enjoei acquires users primarily through its consumer web platform and mobile apps on the App Store and Google Play, supported by promotions such as a 30% discount code on a first clothing purchase, daily promotional campaigns, and paid media and search advertising. Growth is driven by two-sided network effects between individual sellers listing dormant inventory and price-sensitive buyers.
Everyday Brazilian consumers: individuals who want to monetize unused clothing, shoes, accessories, books and electronics, and price-sensitive shoppers looking for discounted fashion and branded items.
Geography
The company is based in São Paulo, Brazil, and its marketplace and apps serve Brazilian consumers, with pricing in Brazilian reais and Pix as a payment method. One third-party profile reports employees across four continents, including South America, Asia and North America.
History
Enjoei began as a blog started by Ana McLaren while she was working at iG, and she later left Google to develop it into a company. By October 2018 it employed about 160 people and reported $250 million in gross merchandise volume for that year, and its founder appeared on a TechCrunch Startup Battlefield Latin America panel in São Paulo in November 2018. The company is publicly traded under the ticker ENJU3.SA. It later added the handmade-goods marketplace Elo7 to its structure; on May 11, 2026 Enjoei's board approved the discontinuation of Elo7 following a strategic and capital review, after Elo7's net revenue fell 39.5% in the fourth quarter of 2025 versus the prior-year period and attempts to reduce dependence on paid media and improve operational efficiency failed to restore scale.
Risks & controversies
The company operates in an e-commerce market described as increasingly concentrated, where competition from global multinationals has raised customer acquisition costs and made scale a survival factor; these pressures contributed to a 39.5% revenue decline at its Elo7 unit in Q4 2025 and the unit's shutdown in May 2026, with financial impacts still to be reported. User reviews on Google Play average 3.7 stars and include complaints about account deletion during an app outage and about listings being removed from a seller's store.
