“Just as I carefully choose my outfits and accessories every day, I put the same thought into how my room would look,” shares Amanda Zuckerman, co-founder and president of Dormify, a leading retailer specializing in college dorm and apartment essentials. This week, Amanda joins Lindsay Pinchuk to dive into the importance of truly listening to the community around a brand—a practice that has been central to Dormify's success.Amanda's entrepreneurial journey began in her own college dorm, where she identified a gap in the market for stylish, functional decor. This insight sparked the creation of Dormify, a thriving business now partnered with nearly 900 colleges and universities and supported by a vibrant community of over 1,000 student ambassadors. But what really drives Dormify's growth? Amanda emphasizes the critical need to understand and connect with Generation Z, the company's primary customers.Reflecting on Dormify's early days, Amanda recounts how they built their brand from the ground up, starting with a WordPress blog that engaged college students and their families. This focus on content and community laid the foundation for their success and allowed them to seamlessly transition to emerging social media platforms like Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok. A pivotal moment came when they embraced a TikTok strategy, inspired by advice from Gary Vaynerchuk, leading to a significant boost in their following and engagement. Amanda shares practical advice for aspiring female founders, emphasizing the power of networking, finding the right strategic advisors, and staying in tune with your customers. Quotes“As our customers and their content consumption habits changed and evolved, we followed suit. We were very much the type of brand that jumped on every social platform as soon as we learned about it. We had to just experiment and gain traction.” (12:56 | Amanda Zuckerman) “If you have something you want to talk about and content you want to put out there, just start doing it, no matter what is holding you back.” (16:59 | Amanda Zuckerman)“Community is really important to the brand. As I mentioned, we position ourselves as a big sister to all of those college students. That means going above and beyond, with customer service at a really high level… I often refer to our customer service team—or rather, our customer experience team—as therapists in a way.” (39:02 | Amanda Zuckerman)“Staying close to our customer is probably the number one thing that differentiates us from any of the competitors in our space. No other competitor understands the customer like we do, and that's because we've made it a priority.” (41:11 | Amanda Zuckerman)Connect with Amanda Zuckerman:https://www.dormify.com/http://www.instagram.com/dormifyConnect with your target customer!

My guests today are Rei Wang and Anita Hossain, Co-founders of coaching platform The Grand, which was seed funded by Alexis Ohanian's firm Seven Seven Six in 2023. Rei is the Chief Product Officer and Anita is the CEO. I met Rei ages ago, in her early days in NYC at General Assembly, where she worked as a Product Manager and Global Community Lead, developing educational opportunities for students. And I was excited to interview her about her work as the CEO of the Dorm Room fund at First Round Capital a few years back to get her perspectives around the intersection of community and product design…especially when the community IS the product. Check out that conversation here. Rei cultivated a vibrant startup ecosystem, mentoring over 250 entrepreneurs on various aspects of business management and fundraising. Their leadership garnered recognition, including the Forbes 30 under 30 award. Rei and Anita met during their time at First Round Capital, where Anita was the Head of Knowledge. While there, she helped hundreds of entrepreneurs connect deeply and vulnerably, to share their concerns and to learn from each other. Anita was also an executive coach with the renowned coaching firm, Reboot, and is a certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner. Key Advice for Working Through Challenges Prevention is first and foremost! Speak early and often to reduce buildup, bottling up and boiling over of tensions Make feedback about actions and behaviors, not about the person or their personality Rei suggests that using a simple framework like SBIO is a great way to frame feedback. (Situation or data, the Behavior you see, the Impact it has on you, and the Opportunity for improvement or transformation) Make sure feedback conversations are two-sided, with both partners regularly asking for and offering feedback Anita underscores the importance of Co-Creation of resolutions to challenges instead of telling someone to be different. Working on these tensions with a sense of collaboration can lead to reduced defensiveness.
