How do you mobilize your community as an early-stage startup? Capri Wheaton joins Kipp and Kieran to talk about how to scale a community using unscalable tactics, creating feed-based hype around your product, using social dynamics to your advantage, and how she dropped out of Berkeley to start her fashion-tech company, and more!

Who is Capri Wheaton?

Dressd Founder and CEO, Capri Wheaton studied at the University of California, Berkeley, before stepping away to start the app company Dressd, expected to launch in May. In business since November 2021, Dressd is funded by Y Combinator, an investor in early-stage startups and such well-known companies as Airbnb, Dropbox, Reddit, Twitch, and Instacart.
