Rent The Runway
Rent The Runway is a fashion rental company founded in 2009 by Jennifer Hyman and Jennifer Fleiss that disrupted the traditional retail model by allowing customers to rent designer clothing and accessories for a fraction of the retail price. The company pioneered the concept of a 'closet in the cloud' and helped create the rental economy category.
The company raised over $540M in venture funding, built a massive logistics operation including its own dry cleaning and fulfillment facilities, and went public via IPO on the Nasdaq in October 2021. At its peak, Rent The Runway served millions of customers and managed an inventory of hundreds of thousands of designer pieces.
I contributed to the frontend engineering team during a period of rapid growth, building e-commerce features that supported the browsing, booking, and rental experience for a platform handling complex inventory, sizing, and logistics workflows.
