How do you create a leading social marketplace where selling and buying are simple, social and sustainable? This was the vision Manish had when he founded Poshmark in 2011.

Just this past January, Manish led a successful initial public offering, listing Poshmark on NASDAQ under the symbol POSH.

He believes that the tech evolution will continue to fuel the success of Poshmark’s social marketplace in the foreseeable future.
