The Rounds

Decades ago, no one bought milk at the store. Instead, milkmen delivered dairy in reusable glass bottles. This zero-waste model inspired Alex Torrey WG21 and Byungwoo Ko WG20 to create The Rounds, a subscription service that keeps subscribers stocked with necessities like toiletries, dry goods, and, yes, milk, at least of the non-dairy variety. Just like milkmen — the startup was originally named Mlkmn — subscribers avoid single-use plastic. Last year, the firm raised nearly $40 million; it has expanded from Philadelphia to Atlanta, Miami, and Washington, DC. “We’re building what we believe is the future of last-mile logistics,” says Torrey.

Scoring that coveted coffee table just got easier.

Now, AptDeco is expanding with its launch of national shipping and is the only end-to-end marketplace that accepts all kinds of furniture resale items, from futons to rugs to floor lamps. “As we look to the future of the furniture industry, we recognize the importance of the role we play in changing consumer mind-sets around used furniture. With this expansion, anyone can easily participate in a circular economy,” says Fagiri, who serves as AptDeco’s CEO.
