Etsy in the Press: Entrepreneur Magazine and Meaningful Marketplaces

Published on October 4, 2007 in Etsy News 		Photo by actually, the photo of Rob is from the bArter

Entrepreneur Magazine just wrote an article about Etsy's founder Rob Kalin (better known to us here as Rokali).  If you go to Entrepreneur.com right now (Oct 4, 2007), and wait for it...Rob pops up!

We're happy about the article because it focuses on our mission to build a sustainable business and to foster the entrepreneurial spirit in an online community.

"After speaking with Rob Kalin, the founder of handmade products marketplace Etsy.com, it's apparent that like any true entrepreneur, his company isn't just a means to a paycheck. It's a mission: A mission to change the way commerce works; a mission to promote sustainable products..."

Also, The Storque's got its first mention in the press (not counting blogs, of course) since launch, and we're really pleased!

"The latest feature on Etsy, The Storque, is an online magazine written by members."

Great article! Great to see the Etsy name getting out there! Thanks, Rokali for making Etsy...I know I wouldn't be selling without it. Etsy and the Etsy community made the whole idea of my shop so easy and attractive.

I don't know, if it's mentioned somewhere before. There are a video and an interview on FocusOnline (an online version of a German magazine):

Etsy has been mentioned in the press many, many times, and we are grateful.

I was talking about the first mention of The Storque.

Thanks for those links, though, imperfectalia...I hadn't realized that Etsy had made it into the press at all here in Germany.
