Lindsay Meyer is the Founder and CEO of Batch, a shoppable home staging startup that works with high-end residential realtors, developers, and builders to create beautiful, bespoke spaces. Her career has spanned a diverse set of industries, ranging from venture capital to biotech to retail, and she was honored as a 2017 TIME Person of the Year.

In this episode, we spoke with Lindsay about:

  • Growing up in the Midwest as a Korean adoptee and taking on a transracial identity
  • How her inner narrative differed from how others would perceive her and expect her to act based on her outward appearance
  • Why she made the decision to speak on the record, as part of the #MeToo movement, about being harassed while raising capital
