Canary Boston Careers in Quincy, MA

Canary’s (www.gocanary.com) mission is to “revolutionize the way we buy and sell locally online, while supporting the community that supports us.” Canary helps clients sell their furniture and household items online by taking pictures of items at the client’s home, researching price, writing and managing a listing on www.gocanary.com, as well as other appropriate platforms, finding credible buyers, and setting up times for buyers to purchase the item. The seller keeps 60% of the sale, and 12% of each sale goes to the seller’s choice of one of Canary’s five charitable partners. To date, Canary has over 160 satisfied clients, $120,000 in sales, and $20,000 donated to charity. Canary was started by Mike Filbey, a Cohasset-native, his freshman year at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He and co-founder Mohsin Khan are currently taking the year off of school to pursue Canary full time.
