On today’s show, we’re chatting with Kate Sanner, the Co-Founder and CEO of Beni, working on making resale as easy as buying new. 

We've all been there: You're scrolling, spot something you absolutely love, and you want to hit ‘add to cart.’ But guess what? There are 300 million resale bargains out there just waiting to be snagged. We’re chatting about how Beni takes the time, energy and know-how out of the resale dig with just a couple of clicks (it’ll blow your mind!)– let’s dive right into it!

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE:

  • [5:18] With her background in marketing, Kate thought solving ‘secondhand first’ would be a fascinating problem to tackle.
  • [12:19] How the team conceptualized Beni through manual search, in its early days
  • [17:33] Can we convince people to choose secondhand first instead of new?
  • [22:49] Why she thinks of sustainability as “the gift with purchase”
  • [25:13] How Beni makes secondhand search easier.
  • [31:34] Being a female founder in the tech space
  • [35:48] Kate’s best secondhand finds
