## About

Founded in 2022 and based in Delaware, US, The Real Established Inc., trading under the name Realest, is a marketplace and authentication standard for physical memorabilia, particularly entertainment and sports memorabilia. It allows users to research, purchase, and sell specific consumer goods, also referred to as "items" or "property." As of January 2024, the company is led by Scott Keeney (CEO). In January 2026, The Realest raised USD 12 million in series A funding led by EnOne Ventures, with participation from Elysian Park Ventures, Interlock Capital, PGA Tour, KB Partners, Alumni Ventures Group, and BAM Ventures.

The platform directly gets items from artists and athletes, serving as a modern authentication standard and marketplace for entertainment memorabilia. On the company's website, you can find various items for sale, like sports cards and limited-edition memorabilia. The Terms of Service describe it as a live marketplace, and the company's patent-pending authentication technology ensures authenticity. The revenue generated goes straight to their partners or a charity chosen by them.
