HOW IT ALL STARTED
In 2012 Lars’ friend Roberto invited him to a place close to Venice where Italian companies were being incubated. Depop was called Garage back in the days and the founder Simon Beckermann was sitting in a small black cube trying to revolutionize the way people shop fashion items. After many discussions about the changing fashion landscape and its consumer behavior (and some proper Italian food) they decided to work together.
"DEPOP WANTS TO BREAK THE CURRENT FASHION SYSTEM BY BRINGING IT TO A PLACE WHERE THERE IS A MORE RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION. AND WE DO THIS BY WORKING WITH UNIQUE AND INSPIRING CREATIVES WHO CARE ABOUT PRODUCTS WHICH CAN LAST FOREVER."

FUTURE PERSPECTIVES
Depop today is one of the world`s largest fashion communities around the globe, with more than 15 million users in 147 countries listing more than 100.000 items a day and growing. Depop is about to become the global conduit of connection, not only in m-commerce, but culture, design, and creative communities around the world. With a global community buying, selling and connecting to make fashion more inclusive, diverse and less wasteful. This is what transforming fashion looks like. “Lars’ experience and his straightforward thinking that focuses on areas of improvement are an extremely helpful ingredient for the success of Depop. We spent a lot of time together, especially during the early years when Depop was still vulnerable…I know that I can fully trust and rely on Lars and his partners who have supported and invested into Depop across all financing rounds in the past eight years, thus becoming Depop`s largest shareholder.” – Simon Beckerman, Depop Founder
