Not currently raising. Here is the honest state of things.
SESH is self-funded and rebuilding. There is no round open, no deck being circulated, and no revenue to speak of yet.
This page exists because the last version of this company raised money and did not make it, and pretending otherwise would be a strange way to start the second one.
The 2014 version of Sesh raised funding and built a working product with a contracted team. The build cost more and took longer than the runway allowed, and the company ran out of room before the marketplace reached the density it needed.
The lesson taken from that is not "the idea was wrong." It is that a two-sided marketplace cannot afford to spend its runway on engineering it does not control.
The product is being built directly by the founder rather than contracted out, which removes the cost structure that killed the first attempt. Payments, escrow, listings, bookings, and reviews are already working.
The open problem is the same one every marketplace has at the start: supply density in a first city.
