Unlock mint‑condition returns for everyone.
Mint Shelf connects everyday shoppers to mint, open‑box, and gently used returns across every category — starting in Austin, expanding nationwide. Sellers are vetted businesses with customer service and quality processes, so buying second‑life goods feels as easy as buying new.
Colton Stephens
Co-founderAustin‑born, I’m driven by competition, curiosity, and smart risk‑taking; that path led me from hands‑on ventures to co‑founding Mint Shelf, a marketplace to make buying smarter, simpler, and more human. I run several high‑volume resale warehouses and bring deep experience in sales, marketing, and influencer partnerships.

Co-founderAt 18, I left upstate New York for San Francisco to dive into AI, data science, and startups. Over 10+ years I’ve worked across the stack (product, engineering, QA, design, sales, and marketing) and at three marketplace/network startups. I love everything about building startups.
For investors
Massive, fragmented supply from retail returns meets mainstream demand for deals. Our go‑to‑market starts with Austin inventory and partner warehouses, with national shipping as sellers come online. If you’d like to talk, reach out via the Contact page.
