Fernish... so much to say! We're on a mission to make it effortless to create your home. We offer premium furniture and décor for bite-size monthly payments, and then you can decide later what to keep, return, or swap out. Think of us as the Stitch Fix for creating a space and home you love. And at our core, we are a circular commerce business built around asset recycling and reuse, which it turns out isn't just great for margins, but it's also great for the environment.

We were founded in 2017 and are backed by some of the best investors out there - from Khosla Ventures on the institutional side to Jeff Wilke, Amazon's former CEO of Worldwide Consumer, on the individual side. We've been featured in a slew of national publications from The New York Times to Fast Company - which we think of less through the lens of vanity and more through the lens of validating our product-market fit!

You'll be joining a team with an exceptionally close-knit culture and communication style - and you will be joining early enough to make a real impact on the long-term success and direction.

Our team is proud of the operating values below that we've built our culture around:

Drive the mission: We exist to help people and make their lives more simple, flexible, and sustainable. All of our decisions should reflect that.
Care for the communal: We care for our team, our customers, our communities, as well as the environment given our circular economy, mission-driven business model.
Be empowered: We value ideas, initiatives and encourage action.
Always get better: We encourage everyone to ask questions, never stop learning, and never settle for the status quo.
Disagree without being disagreeable: We encourage open, honest, and respectful exchanges of ideas and opinions.
Embrace humor: We take our work, but not always ourselves, too seriously!
