OneText Reinvents SMS Shopping with $4.5M Boost from Y Combinator
OneText SMS Shopping Is Reinventing E-Commerce Convenience In a digital world dominated by bloated checkout flows and abandoned carts, OneText SMS shopping is emerging as a refreshing solution. The startup, founded by former PayPal employees, is betting on a simple yet powerful idea: making it possible for shoppers to buy directly through a text message. Backed by $4.5 million in seed funding from notable investors like Y Combinator, Khosla Ventures, and Coatue, OneText is rethinking the traditional e-commerce model.
