What is Temu?
Temu (pronounced as tee-moo) is an online marketplace founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 2022.
Temu means "Team Up, Price Down”, which refers to the platform's mission to leverage economies of scale to drive down consumer prices.
Temu is backed by a Nasdaq-listed multinational commerce group, PDD Holdings Inc., which owns a global network of suppliers and manufacturers, enabling Temu to source the best products for the lowest price. Temu taps into this global roster to deliver near-wholesale prices for quality products to consumers.
