The OG E-Commerce Company With a Conscience with Uncommon Goods Founder & CEO Dave Bolotsky (S6E08)

Uncommon Goods Founder & CEO Dave Bolotsky offers an inside look at the groundbreaking e-commerce company – one of the very first in the space at its founding in 1999, and one of the original purpose-driven companies. Now a certified B-Corp headquartered in Brooklyn, Uncommon Goods is an online marketplace to connect creators and their products with shoppers looking for truly unique goods. Through the longstanding Better to Give program, the company donates $1 for every purchase to select nonprofit partners, donating over $2 million to date. Dave and Aaron discuss this and more, including Dave’s childhood dream of becoming an entrepreneur, how today’s younger generations want to engage with companies that have a conscience, and why his people-first philosophy – including always paying above the minimum wage – is so important. Tune in to hear about the positive influences of being a fourth-generation resident of Manhattan’s diverse Lower East Side, and learn more at uncommongoods.com.
