As CEO and founder of The Sill, Eliza Blank is the ultimate plant person. Inspired by her mother's love of gardening and her own struggle to find plants for her tiny NYC apartment, she started The Sill as a direct-to-consumer houseplant company, bringing the benefits of plants to indoor environments. Though Blank had the initial idea for The Sill back in college, she didn't yet have the tools to execute it. So when she graduated, she actually began her career as a brand strategist at global brand agency Wolff Olins before moving to haircare brand Living Proof as a brand manager. But the whole time, she kept the houseplant business in the back of her mind, and in 2012, she made the leap. She left her job, created a Kickstarter that raised $12K, and The Sill was born.

We've had our eyes on The Sill since someone on the team who's younger and cooler than I am described this Warby-Parker-for-plants to the team and insisted that it be listed on our gift guide. Eliza Blank, founder and CEO of The Sill, felt the call to make nature more accessible to everyone through beautiful potted plants - even someone who isn't horticulturally inclined in the slightest. And through small moments with nature, she knew that she could give people the feel-good benefits of caring for something green, like reduced stress, better indoor air, and improved focus. Yes, plants can do all of that. And on this episode of #WeGotGoals, you'll hear Eliza explain how moving from a lush, green area, where she could literally ground herself by putting her feet in the grass, to a series of concrete rectangles when she was enrolled at NYU, made her truly appreciate what plants did for her. So, that lack of green and the way she sought it out in the city led to the seed of the idea that would become The Sill as she cultivated her skills in branding in her early career. By the time she struck out to dig into the potting soil and build The Sill, she was ready to do everything from build the brand to handle customer service to dig in and care for the plants herself. I can't wait for you to hear from this delightful human who really IS happier around plants. Who isn't, though.

The Sill is the first “digitally native” houseplant brand and they're on a mission to connect people with beautiful plants. Eliza Blank was, in her words, a typical young professional living in a small New York apartment, desperate to make it feel like home. Going from a communications degree and working in brand strategy on both the agency and client side for Living Proof, to choosing a path in plants was certainly unconventional! Eliza reveals the importance of resilience on her entrepreneurial journey in a niche she didn't know a lot about at first, how she navigated early challenges without any funding, and the benefits and downsides to working with a co-founder.

Eliza Blank is the Founder & CEO of The Sill. Although Eliza grew up in a Massachusetts household full of plants, it wasn't until she moved to New York City to go to school at NYU that she realized how important they were to her. After moving into her high rise apartment in the city, she was desperate to find a way to bring nature back into her life and realized it was a big part of her wellbeing. As she took frequent trips to the park to get her nature fix throughout the rest of her time in college, she never forgot how much she missed that connection with plants. After graduating and spending a few years as a brand strategist, moving from apartment to apartment in NYC, she realized that there wasn't a consumer brand designed to solve the pain point of discovering, buying and taking care of plants. That's where she got the idea to start The Sill. Today at The Sill, Eliza and her team have built one of the largest community driven-brands for houseplants on the market today. They have a simple yet powerful mission - to enrich people's lives through a connection with plants. They go-to market both online and through their 5 brick and mortar stores and are creating thousands of new plant parents each month. In addition to a beautiful product and website, they drive an engaged community through their social content and Plant Parent Club, a membership that unlocks discounts and access to online workshops and events.Tune in to hear Eliza's story!As a special offer for our listeners, Eliza is giving you 10% off all of The Sill's products through the end of October.

Ask any entrepreneur, starting a startup is one of the hardest paths you can take. As a female founder there are even more challenges to overcome, especially when it comes to raising funds. Eliza Blank, Founder and CEO of The Sill, a direct-to-consumer plant delivery startup, bootstrapped her company for 5 years before deciding to raise outside venture capital money. In this episode, she shares how she successfully raised money as a solo founder, how the fundraising process is different (and harder) for women than for men, and provides specific tactics to improve your fundraising process.

Growth. It’s a part of every Entreprenista’s journey. For founder Eliza Blank, it’s at the heart of the experience and nature of her amazing business. Her company The Sill, offering locally, easy-to-care-for, quality houseplants, shipped right to your door, is a rising star of startups, innovating the not-so-new basic premise of having a plant in your home or office. Eliza joins Socialfly co-founders Stephanie Cartin and Courtney Spritzer for a conversation about building her business and career, describes her journey to success including her breakup with a business partner, the complex logistics of shipping countless houseplants virtually everywhere, why a board of advisors holding you accountable as a solo founder is important, how running a business prepared Eliza for motherhood, growing as a person in her time as a business, and how your plant just may be a reflection of your life. Plus, a surprise!

Eliza Blank founded The Sill because she understood that urbanites needed an easier way to find, acquire and care for their houseplants.  Since quitting her job and launching her Kickstarter in 2012, Eliza has grown The Sill into an Instagram and eCommerce phenomenon raising over $13 million in funding, and expanding into multiple retail locations across the U.S.  In honoring her personal ambitions as an entrepreneur, Eliza was also able to honor her mother, and the Filipino side of her heritage as a young girl growing up in a house full of green.    Just like Eliza’s favorite plant, the resilient and fast growing Philodendron, The Sill has taken the world by storm, and I'm excited to share her, and its story with you! Tune in to hear about why Eliza feels like we should lean into our differences, and how she was able to use that as fuel for her fire.  Eliza gives me a quick masterclass on fundraising, and asks all of us to embrace the idea of making mistakes.  Head over to https://www.thesill.com/ and check out the amazing selection of houseplants that you can ship straight to your home!

With the goal of bridging the gap between people and plants, The Sill has faced challenges running a company with a perishable product. CEO Eliza Blank shares how brick-and-mortor stores have helped them better serve the needs of modern day customers and how building people ops early has helped them grow a healthy company culture. 

After college, Eliza Blank longed for a greener life — the concrete jungle wasn’t cutting it. She went to the basement (yes, basement) of Home Depot to look for plants and thought, There must be a better way. She developed her idea for The Sill in a pre-Instagram era, and she’s pretty much responsible for turning you into a plant parent. But it wasn’t all easy growth — her co-founder left after a few months, leaving Eliza to make her plant dreams happen on her own. Spoiler alert: She did it. thesill.com @thesill

In 2012, CEO and founder Eliza Blank bootstrapped The Sill through a Kickstarter campaign and started the ecommerce business locally — hand-delivering indoor potted plants around New York City. Six years later, The Sill is shipping everything from ferns to succulents nationwide. When plants are your product, the information to keep them alive becomes part of the product offering. By taking the guesswork, and ultimately friction, out of buying and caring for plants, Eliza and her team are seeing the community (and sales) flourish. Their goal? To make the experience enjoyable, even for the sorest of green thumbs. On this episode of the podcast, Eliza shares how The Sill is making the plant buying process approachable and directional through guidance and a growing supply chain (11:31). She goes through The Sill’s major business milestones and transitions (18:23), and how the brick-and-mortar business shaped how they marketed and sold their products online (20:54). She talks about outgrowing her bootstrapped business (22:31), acting on ambition (24:51), and investing in a solution-oriented online shopping experience (27:40). Finally, Eliza shares how they’re building beyond the zeitgeist of plant parenthood (41:50). Link and images from this post are on the Lumi Blog.
