In their words

Curtsy is an app that lets women buy and sell clothing, shoes, and accessories from their phones. Curtsy doesn't hold inventory; all orders ship directly from sellers to buyers. We make money by deducting a 20% fee from each sale. Curtsy's go-to-market strategy has been to focus on ~Gen Z women ages 15-30, who are underserved by the major players in the space like Poshmark and Ebay.
