  • IPO, Setbacks, and the Power of Resilience: Jennifer Hyman on Rebuilding Rent the Runway

    IPO, Setbacks, and the Power of Resilience: Jennifer Hyman on Rebuilding Rent the Runway
    Oct 2 2025
    Rent the Runway is one of those ideas you should have thought of first. But while the concept seems like a slam dunk — an infinite closet of outfits for customers who want to wear it once — the road was extremely bumpy for co-founder and CEO Jennifer Hyman. The challenges were epic. A global pandemic, which could have been an existential event. An IPO pop which disappeared almost overnight, precipitating a credit crisis. A crossroads when she had drifted away from day-to-day and her father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Even coming to terms with something as fundamental as understanding the company's DNA. "Now, millions of women are renting clothes, whereas there were zero women renting clothes when I had this vision in 2008,” Hyman told me for This is Working. "I believe in this more ever."

    Love the player, like the game — How Overtime's Dan Porter built a Gen Z powerhouse
    Sep 4 2025
    Dan Porter's secret to having a good idea? "Have a lot of ideas." His big idea, Overtime, wasn't even mocked by early prospective backers. They just didn't get it. A Gen Z focussed sports media service with no scores, and no trade rumors, and no talking heads? Short videos meant to be consumed on a smartphone? Of athletes most people probably hadn't heard of yet but which were captivating the cohort? What? The social-media sports platform now boasts 40+ accounts, 100M+ followers, and billions of video views. And then Porter took the next level to a whole 'nother level with Overtime Elite — a league that invests in young players, pays them, and prepares them to go pro. Tune in to learn how Porter created a thriving community built for a generation of sports fans who don't really watch TV, sit through hours-long games and look to influencers for inspiration.
