Depop: $1.6 billion exit to Etsy & now he’s starting from 0 again I Founder, Simon Beckerman

 

2011 was the beginning for Depop, an app that lets you buy and sell your own clothes on a marketplace, Depop attracted GenZ and created a boom for vintage clothing. Simon Beckerman wanted to create a community behind his marketplace, somewhere users could create virtual stores from a device in their pocket.

Fast forward 10 years, Simon sold Depop to Etsy for $1.6bn.

But he didn’t stop there.

Instead of taking time off, Simon decided to get straight back into the game. This time, he’s taking on the food industry with DELLI, an app that lets you buy and sell a curated mix of locally sourced and produced food and drinks.
