How We Turned $120,000 Into a Billion-Dollar Eyeglass Brand – Warby Parker

OPEN TO ALL
When: Monday, January 28, 2018
Where: IAB 1501
Time: 6:00PM to 8:00PM EST
Warby Parker is a transformative lifestyle brand that offers designer eyewear at a revolutionary price, while leading the way for socially-conscious businesses. Their social claim? – Almost 15% of the world’s population lacks access to glasses, which means they cannot effectively learn or work. To help address this problem, Warby Parker partners with non-profits like VisionSpring to ensure that for every pair of glasses sold, a pair is distributed to someone in need. Neil will talk about conceiving, growing and scaling a social impact business.
