Stuart Landesberg: Grove Collaborative
Stuart Landesberg is the founder and CEO of Grove Collaborative (formerly known as ePantry), an online platform that delivers eco-friendly home essentials, including household cleaning, personal care, baby, kid, and pet products.
In this episode, we chat about everything from Stuart’s upbringing to his experience working on Wall Street during the economic crisis of 2008 to where he got the idea for Grove. Stuart also shares some of the early challenges and constant rejection he faced after pitching to 175 investors, and the unconventional path he took to building a successful business that is now valued at over $1 billion.
We also talk about his learnings as a CEO and business leader, the long-term vision for Grove, what “changing the world” means to him, raising over $200M in venture capital, and his advice for anyone who is looking to become an entrepreneur.
