Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
Julie Wainwright (Founder, The RealReal) on Facing the Competition and Taking Companies Public

It's so funny to hear you talking about these kind of scrappy early days, because after that phase, after you had a warehouse with a crusty carpet and the French guy stepping into the toilet to photograph. Yeah. So after all of that, the business grew. Like you say, you raised hundreds of millions of dollars. You took the company public. What did it feel like to ring the bell?

Yep, and then also my friends over at Figs had a great IPO. Figs is a great product. Yeah, that's wonderful. So we're seeing it more and more. A little bit. Yeah. Yeah, a little bit, little cracks, little cracks. Yeah, and so you took the company public. It is the greatest victory for a founder to do that. It's fabulous. From zero to IP.

Everything was totally normal after 2019, right? COVID hit, yes. And so you were still running the company. Now it's a public company, which means that you have to report to the whole world how you're performing, right? It's different than when you're a private company. Nobody knows your business.
