  4. Ariel Kaye (Parachute) on Getting D2C Right, Building Customer Trust and Selling Out of Product Without Becoming a Sellout
Today, Sammi is joined by Ariel Kaye, the founder of Parachute—the
cult-favorite home essentials brand that helped define the
direct-to-consumer movement. Ariel shares the real story behind
Parachute’s early days: from bootstrapping her first launch to
navigating funding rounds, managing growing pains, and expanding
from digital to retail. She opens up about the emotional toll of
solo entrepreneurship, the importance of mentorship, and how she
kept her business grounded in customer experience—even during the
chaos of COVID. Plus, Ariel reveals how she thinks about growth
today, the pressures of staying independent, and why having
options—not obligations—is the real founder flex. Follow Sammi on

Mein Archiv

Deine Privatkopie der Folgen, die du nicht verlieren willst.

Podcast-Folgen verschwinden. Feeds werden auf die letzten Episoden gekürzt, Hoster räumen alte Dateien ab, Formate wechseln den Anbieter und lassen ihr Archiv zurück. Mit „Mein Archiv“ sichert podcast.de die Folgen deiner Podcasts für dich — angefangen bei den ältesten, denn die sind zuerst weg.

  • Deine gesicherten Folgen bleiben hörbar, auch wenn das Original offline geht.
  • Auch Folgen, die im heutigen Feed gar nicht mehr stehen — podcast.de kennt sie noch.
  • Herunterladen bleibt möglich, solange die Folge beim Podcaster liegt. Der zählt seine Abrufe wie bisher.
