“Ariel Kaye: The Entrepreneur Behind an Enduring Brand Amidst the DTC Craze”
It’s no surprise that after ten years, Parachute, the home lifestyle brand, stands as the dust settles from the direct-to-consumer boom.
Founded by Ariel Kaye in 2012, Parachute has developed a loyal customer base because of its high-quality bedding, towels, and robes.
Naturally, TechCrunch wanted to see what it has been like managing the DTC boom these past few years and brought Kaye onto our podcast Found to chat about it.
“From the moment we launched, we just kept hearing, ‘I’ve been waiting for a brand like this,” she told us.
She learned to manage logistics, hire a team, and find a network of other entrepreneurs who could support her during the highs and lows of — wait for it — being a solo founder.
