She has created a worldwide business out of her used clothes. Here is the story of Milda Mitkute, and the app that helps you earn and save
Milda Mitkute is one of those digital entrepreneur women to be observed with admiration and amazement: for the genius, foresight, and example of online business, she has created. She is the founder and CEO of Vinted, launched in 2008 which has more than 45 million users in 11 countries and is valued at $3.5 billion.
Before founding Vinted, Milda had several jobs. She worked as a university lecturer and researcher, and also ran her own research consultancy firm.
She is one of those model leaders because she started from scratch. With what? From an idea. Overcoming difficulty and hard commitment, she got to where she is today.
Her story of how she made it, teaches a lesson. A good principle for all of us. At the end of the story of her life, I will explain to you what it is.
It is thanks to that principle that she managed to set in motion the whole mechanism of success as a woman and as an entrepreneur.
Probably at the end of this article — if it’s not already on your smartphone — you will download the Vinted app. I have it and it’s crazy cool. Whether you have to sell old items or buy something while saving.
