At Slate, we’ve got one job: building a vehicle you’ll fall in love with, right here in the USA. We believe that car buyers—not car companies—should call the shots. We like looking at a road, not a screen. We don’t like paying for stuff we don’t need.
We like picking out the stuff we do need. We think dings are badges, not blemishes. But we know not everyone likes what we like. So, we built you a Slate: you make it yours.

Martie is an online shopping platform on a mission to make quality goods accessible and affordable for everyone, while keeping perfectly good products out of landfills. Every day, millions of dollars worth of products from brands people already know and love never make it to shelves, not because theyre bad, but because of a date on a label, a packaging update, or a simple forecasting error. Martie intercepts that excess and turns it into an opportunity for shoppers, for brands, and for the planet. Martie works directly with brands on their overstock inventory, bringing high-quality pantry staples, beauty, and home goods to customers at up to 80% off retail. Featured in The New Yorker, The Strategist, and Eater.
