Hi,

In September, we’re bringing The RealReal’s founder and CEO Julie Wainwright to the main stage at Code Commerce to speak about the luxury consignment retailer’s IPO for the first time.

On The RealReal’s first day of trading, shares closed at 45 percent above its debut price, and the company raised $300 million in the process. The secondhand luxury retailer distinguishes itself by employing a team of professionals who hand-authenticate every product, and it has successfully courted millennial consumers by eschewing fast fashion and focusing on quality and sustainability.

But the IPO also made history for another reason: It was the first IPO overseen by Wainwright since her stint as CEO of Pets.com during the height of the dot-com bubble — and its crash.

Register for Code Commerce to hear from Wainwright firsthand about her entrepreneurial journey and what’s next for The RealReal.
