Welcome back to The Pitch! This season, we head to Chicago to meet 14 founders with 12 business ideas big enough to change the world. Everything from a better ketchup to a potential solution to one of the biggest problems of our time - energy.

The founders just need one thing... money. And on this season, investors commit over $900,000 to bring those ideas to life. Plus, for the first time, we’re letting listeners invest alongside the investors on our show. New episodes drop weekly starting February 8th. See you in The Pitch Room.

CEO & Founder of Dressd at Dressd

I’m Capri, a Berkeley dropout backed by Y Combinator. Previously, I built a secondhand clothing marketplace and SaaS tool for clothing resellers. Today, I’m the founder of Dressd: a peer-to-peer marketplace where Gen-Z women rent clothes from each other. We allow women to turn their clothes into cash… *and* retain ownership of those items. Clothing rental is a $5.87 Billion market.
