The Ultimate Revive-al: Allison Lee with Jenny Fielding

Allison Lee, founder and CEO of Revive, chats with Jenny Fielding, GP of Everywhere Ventures

In episode 112 of Venture Everywhere, Jenny Fielding, managing partner at Everywhere Ventures, talks with Allison Lee, co-founder and CEO of Revive — a turnkey virtual tailoring solution that helps fashion brands reduce returns and dead stock by refurbishing and reselling garments. Allison shares how a pandemic-forced pivot exposed a damages problem every brand was quietly absorbing but no one was solving. She discusses how Revive challenges the industry consensus that damaged inventory is a write-off, instead unifying item-level inspection, refurbishment, and resale into one system that recovers value brands didn't know they had.

In this episode, you will hear:

1. Replacing SKU-level inventory systems with item-level inspection and decisioning.
2. Bridging the gap between brand needs and 3PL capabilities.
3. Refurbishment as a higher-recovery alternative to donation and liquidation.
4. Live commerce as the resale channel for Gen Z shoppers.
5. Human-in-the-loop operations where AI augments rather than replaces physical inspection.
