Manage your inventory with confidence - track pricing, organize by category and location, and privately share curated collections with the clients you source for.

New

Source for Clients & Patrons

Turn your inventory into a private, white-glove sourcing experience for the collectors, designers, and patrons you work with.

Curate & share privately

Hand-pick a collection and share it with a specific client - a clean, by-appointment presentation of exactly the pieces you chose for them.

A refined client view

Your client sees a read-only view with your asking price - no back-office data, no acquisition costs, no other clients' selections.

About Carousel Shop AI

We built Carousel Shop AI because we believe vintage and antique resellers deserve the same powerful technology that big retailers take for granted. Our mission is to empower independent resellers with AI-driven tools that save time, reduce guesswork, and help them sell smarter.

Whether you run an antique mall booth, a thrift store, an estate sale company, or sell at flea markets and online marketplaces - or you're a professional sourcer or dealer finding statement pieces and rare collectables for private clients - Carousel Shop AI gives you AI-powered item analysis, marketplace pricing research, professional inventory management, and a private way to present curated selections to the people who buy them.

We're building the platform that vintage and antique resellers - and the dealers who source for discerning clients - have been waiting for. One that understands your world and works the way you do.

Built by resellers, for resellers - with the engineering to back it up

Matt Salafia

Matt Salafia

Co-Founder, CEO & CTO

Building the Platform Resellers Deserve

Matt is a technology executive with over 25 years of experience building and scaling software platforms. From engineering leadership roles at numerous Boston-area software companies to architecting cloud-native systems from the ground up, he's spent his career transforming how organizations deliver software - and now he's applying that expertise to an industry he knows firsthand.

Why Carousel Shop AI

After years of helping his wife build her vintage and antique reselling business - managing booths at antique malls, selling across online marketplaces, and working directly with collectors - Matt saw the gap up close. Resellers were running sophisticated operations with spreadsheets, notes apps, and memory. The tools that big retailers take for granted simply didn't exist for independent dealers.

In 2025, Matt left his VP of Engineering role to build the platform he wished existed: a cloud-based, AI-powered inventory management system designed specifically for the way resellers actually work.

What He Brings

  • 25+ years of platform engineering - Led engineering organizations (start-up through mid-market) in designing and delivering innovative, world-class software platforms.
  • Cloud-native architecture - Designed and built the entire Carousel Shop AI platform on Google Cloud: backend services, AI pipelines, real-time data sync, and scalable infrastructure.
  • AI-first product thinking - Integrated computer vision, natural language processing, and marketplace intelligence directly into the inventory workflow - not as a gimmick, but as a tool that saves resellers real time and energy.
  • Mobile-first experience - Learned through experience that vintage/antique reselling is a competitive sport - deals happen fast, and you need answers on the spot. The software meets users where they work.
  • Security and compliance focus - Built Carousel Shop AI with enterprise-grade authentication, role-based access control, and data protection from day one.

Career Highlights

  • Co-Founder, CEO & CTO - Carousel Shop AI (cloud-based AI inventory platform for resellers)
  • Vice President of Engineering (SaaS clinical trials)
  • Software Engineering Manager (SaaS email and social media marketing)
  • Director of Development (on-prem and SaaS network security software)
  • Principal Architect (digital clinical notes)
  • Principal Engineer (mobile EMR platform)

Alison Salafia

Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer

The Reseller Who Built the Tool She Always Needed

Alison was dragged through antique malls and thrift shops as a child. She never stopped going back.

From Dot-Com to Doom Piles

Alison's professional career started in the Boston tech scene - doing product management and marketing work at Boston.com (The Boston Globe) and Lycos, an early web search leader. She moved into software project management and consulting for healthcare software providers before stepping away to wrangle three sons full-time.

But the hustle never stopped. Alison spent years buying and selling vintage and home decor online - including the legendary Claire Murray rug run of the early 2000s. More recently, she launched The Carousel Shop of NH on Etsy and Poshmark, bringing her sharp eye for value to a new generation of buyers.

Boots on the Ground

Alison curates vintage and home decor spaces at Junction 71 in Merrimack, NH and Vintage 101 in Amherst, NH. She knows the reality of managing inventory across multiple locations - the pricing decisions, the sourcing trips, the items that sit and the items that fly. That firsthand experience drives every product decision at Carousel Shop AI.

What She Brings

  • Decades of reselling experience - From online marketplaces to brick-and-mortar booths, Alison has bought and sold across every channel resellers use today.
  • Product management roots - Her early career in tech product management and marketing means she thinks in workflows, not features. Every screen in Carousel Shop AI reflects how resellers actually work.
  • The voice of the customer - As Chief Product Officer, Alison is the bridge between the reselling community and the engineering team. If a feature doesn't make a reseller's life easier, it doesn't ship.
  • Life-long curator of the Museum of Great Buys - Some stories are best told in person. Ask her about it.

Alison is the champion the reseller community needs - the banisher of doom piles and reclaimer of dining room tables everywhere. She co-founded Carousel Shop AI because she lived the problem every day and got tired of waiting for someone else to solve it.
