In 2022 Chelsea Kramer was connected to a big vintage clothing warehouse. She thought it was a great opportunity to bring the vintage jeans she loved to the masses. The supplier’s minimum order size was 200 items in each style, which felt like a huge risk at the time. Still, Chelsea took a swing, placed an order, and reworked the vintage men’s jeans into women’s sizing. Within the first week she sold through 150 of the 200! But, it’s hard to really scale a business like that, so Chelsea made the decision to start dropping her own collections. Two years later, her company Parke made $16 million in a single year. ??Swipe for Chelsea’s story

Julia O'Mara made 4,000 trips on the subway delivering clothes across NYC when her app launched. She's the co-founder and COO of Pickle, an app that’s AirBnb for your closet, allowing you to rent out and borrow from peers. Julia and her cofounder met while working in investment management and were drawn to the idea of understanding purchasing decisions. They raised $250,000 from friends and family to start an app that was totally different to the Pickle we know today. The original idea didn't work and ran out of money. But Julia and her team?identified the peer-to-peer clothing rental idea and, with no cash left, built a new app themselves. A little over a year later, they raised $8M for Pickle 2.0 and since then have been seeing 80% organic growth.
