Jeremy Cai - Manufacturer to Customer – [Founder’s Field Guide, EP. 33]

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My guest today is Jeremy Cai, founder, and CEO of Italic, a subscription marketplace for consumer goods that works directly with manufacturers. I was introduced to Jeremy by my friend Blake Robbins and was dying to better understand the Italic business model. In our conversation, we discuss the Italic business model, the evolving role of manufacturers in supply chains, and the concept of building the next generation “everything store.” I love learning and discovering new business models, and this was fun to dig into. Please enjoy my conversation with Jeremy Cai.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For the full show notes, transcript, and links to mentioned content, check out the episode page</span> <a href= "http://joincolossus.com/episodes/41647692/cai-manufacturer-to-customer"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">here</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p><strong>-----</strong></p> <p><strong>This episode is brought to by</strong> <a href= "http://dell.com/en-us/work/shop/deals"><strong>Dell Technologies</strong></a><strong>.
