Marianne Sea, 2011 Anthill 30under30 Up-and-Comer
Young Republicans, the creation of 24-year-old Marianne Sea, is an online marketplace dedicated to emerging, independent Australian designers. The site offers one-stop shopping for men’s, women’s and children’s clothing, accessories, housewares and art. Sea, who owns the business with partners, was a senior website designer and developer who saw first-hand how expensive and difficult it could be for many emerging designers to have their websites built. That obstacle, along with a passion toward helping young entrepreneurs succeed, led to the creation of Young Republic.
