episode 208: Grove Collaborative: Stuart Landesberg
Stuart Landesberg is the Co-Founder & CEO of Grove Collaborative, the leading digital-first brand & ecommerce platform for natural home and personal care products. Stu has long been passionate about sustainability. He founded Grove in 2016, when he saw how far too few families really had access to healthy, sustainable home products through traditional retail channels. Grove, which has been a certified B Corp from the beginning, now serves hundreds of thousands of households in the U.S. every month and has raised more than $100 million in total capital. In 2019 alone, the innovations Grove is driving in cleaning products will reduce plastic waste by 300,000 pounds, and fund the planting of more than 100,000 trees in the U.S. Stu was previously an investor at TPG Growth, where he was involved in over $400 million in consumer and technology investments. Stu and his wife, Caitlin live in San Francisco with their two children and dog, and spend as much time outside as possible.
