What LegitApp does (and will continue to build)
At LegitApp, we’re committed to making authentication of luxury goods trustworthy, fast, and accessible.
Here are a few things we stand by:
1. Expert + AI dual authentication: Each item is reviewed by two or more authenticators with AI analysis to ensure accuracy and reliability.
2. Wide coverage across categories and brands: We support 300+ brands across handbags, sneakers, watches, streetwear, collectibles, trading cards, and more.
3. Fast turnaround & proof of authenticity: Depending on service level, results can come in as little as 10 minutes, with a free digital certificate included.
4. Scalable and global: Currently, we’ve processed over three million authentications and serve two million users all over the world.
5. Educational arm — AuthClass: We also run an online learning platform to teach authentication skills to collectors, resellers, and enthusiasts alike.
Joining AppWorks gives us a chance to accelerate in many of these dimensions — refining our product, expanding into new markets, increasing scale, learning from peer founders, and attracting stronger partnerships.
