019 From finance to fashion tech entrepreneurship The Stanza

Subscribe to ⁠The Stanza⁠, a newsletter at the intersection of investing, hospitality, & fashion.

Today's guest is Bianca Rangecroft, founder of Whering. Whering is a digital wardrobe and styling app that allows you to catalogue your clothes, create outfits, and get styling suggestions. As of today, the app has 1.5M users. Think of it as the modern app version of Cher's wardrobe from Clueless. Prior to Whering, Bianca worked at Goldman Sachs in asset management.

 

We chatted about fundraising as a first time founder, how she financially supported her transition from Goldman to entrepreneurship, and her view on the future of sustainable fashion. I appreciated Bianca's honesty throughout the conversation
and I know any early stage entrepreneur will benefit from this interview.
