Manish Chandra discusses aligning business practices with personal values while scaling. He shares success stories from Poshmark users and explores the challenges of growing a company without compromising what matters to you.
Over time, one of the challenges that happens is when those things become, when love and money gets disconnected and you start to become a public company or whatever, all these pressures start to take you down into dark alleys. Right. And it's taken a lot of work up front. The first three, four years were super hard. But as you're scaling, by coinciding these two pieces, you can create something really, really hard. So my sort of core takeaway from this is as you go through your journeys in life, obviously you're very young and as you sort of evolve, as your own value systems get clearer, think of how you can create products and services that can be meaningful, have economically sound foundation. So we didn't give away the product for free. We charged 20% partnership. But over the long term, it becomes very symbiotic and synergistic with what you want to do. Right. And that clarifying around what your value systems are, what you're trying to do, is very, very powerful. But then being able to build products and services that you can symbolize is even more critical. And particularly with the amazing opportunity that all of you have and the amazing opportunities that this valley gives you in terms of growth, I think the responsibility that we have to society is at an all time high. Right. And so we have to be able to level up to that responsibility and combine it and integrate with all the amazing opportunity and successes that all of you are going to achieve. And so one of the beautiful parts of working at Poshmark is that every day we get to see the success of over 10 million people who are actively selling and buying on the platform and continue to scale. And we have women who have gone from sort of starting from their closets, now running million dollar businesses, managing three or four fashion brands entirely on Poshmark. We've heard stories of people escaping abusive relationships using Poshmark. We've heard people who have started again and build a multi sort of city group and then of course connections. So that is fantastic. And the fact that we don't have to go and give them another tax bill at the end of the day is very, very nice because they can continue to scale their business.
