Hot off the press! Last week, our CEO Rati Sahi Levesque sat down live with Bloomberg to discuss the promise of luxury resale and how AI is helping to drive sales in our business.

Happy Women’s History Month! This year’s theme—Moving Forward Together: Women Educating and Inspiring Generations—reminds us of the importance of uplifting and educating future generations while driving real change for gender equity. As a women-founded and led company, The RealReal was built with the mission to help people shop for the better, and women’s leadership has shaped our vision from day one. Today, women make up 66% of our employees, reflecting our commitment to gender equity and fostering a diverse, inclusive workplace. We continuously evaluate our hiring practices and compensation to ensure equitable pay and continued progress. As we also celebrate International Women’s Day later this week, let’s honor the past, embrace the present, and accelerate action for the future. ??

These initiatives highlight the lasting impact of Black individuals and recognize their ongoing influence in our industry and society.

Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of justice and equality. His work reminds us that true change requires commitment and action.
