44. Cherry Pick: Building The Entire Internet of Vintage Fashion with Founder Delaney Delponti
Hello and welcome back to Fashion and Founders, the podcast. My name is Victoria Smith, and this week I'm joined with Delaney Delponti, founder of Cherry Pick. Cherry Pick is going to be your one stop shop for everything vintage, combining your most loved online thrift and vintage sites into one place.In this episode Delaney not only gives us a bit of a sneak peek into what cherry pick will be, but she also shares some invaluable and really honest advice about being an entrepreneur from all the questions she had starting out, all the things she didn't know and had to figure out herself for the first time. Showcasing how much she's learned and sharing this knowledge for other people.If you listened to the episode with Brigitte and Ellie, the founders of Zero, they referenced Delaney as being somebody that they go to when they have founder questions and need advice. This community is so strong and supportive, full of amazing young female founders, and I just feel so grateful to be a part of it.This episode with Delaney is so information and knowledge rich and she really breaks things down in a way that anyone can understand because she's been in that position before too. So if you are someone interested in not just fashion tech, but really anything business or entrepreneurship, there is something for you to take away from this episode from time management, hiring, finding mentors, networking, and an insane, insane story about fundraising as well.Follow Fashion & Founders:Podcast IG: @fashionandfoundersPodcast Substack: Fashion and FoundersPodcast Website: fashionandfounders.comVictoria TikTok: @vfsmith11Podcast LinkedIn: Fashion and FoundersPodcast YouTube: Fashion and FoundersVictoria Pickle Closet: @victoriasLocker Links: LockerFollow Cherry Pick:Ig: @cherrypickdotcomSign up for the waitlist: https://cherry-pick.com/ Follow Delaney Delponti:Ig: delaney_delpontiFollow Oh What a Match!:IG: @oh_what_a_matchMatchbook Guide: https://owam.substack.com/ Shop: https://ohwhatamatch.com Thank you for listening!

40. ZERO: The Revolve for Sustainable Fashion from Friends to Founders with Ellie and Brigitte
Hello and welcome back to Fashion and Founders the podcast. My name is Victoria Smith and this week I'm joined with Ellie and Brigitte, the founders of Zero. I think of Zero as the Revolve for sustainable fashion where you can discover some of the coolest brands that you'll actually want to wear that you haven't already seen played out everywhere and also a way to explore your own personal style.I think what they are building is insanely cool and they have great advice to share from their experiences about building a business in fashion and sustainability with a mission. We talk about how they built out an advisory board, lessons from fundraising, and leaning on a network of other founders, all while still being friends. They met at USC and took what they learned and applied to a business that could create an impact.I learned a lot in this episode, and we also laughed a lot - do not miss the ending when they talk about their hot takes.
