Written by the Siauliai group

TUESDAY, 23rd April

Interview between the host of the podcast and an entrepreneur at the Vinted corporation.

Host: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to our weekly podcast. Today I am sitting here with a worker at the Vinted corporation.

Entrepreneur: Hello, it's very nice being here.

Host: So tell us, how long have you been working for the Vinted organization?

Entrepreneur: Actually, I've been here since the very beginning, when the organization was started in 2008. Funny story about the beginning of Vinted, like any other great businesses, the idea of an online site, selling second hand items, was brought up at a party. Our founder Milda was complaining to Justas about how there is no efficient way for her to sell her clothes online, so together they decided to create the platform.

Host: Ohh, and how would you rate your experience at the company?

Entrepreneur: It's been lovely. The community here is so sweet, everybody gets along. The environment is very positive. The company offers plenty of facilities, in which the workers can relax, meditate and communicate.

Host: Quick question, where are your headquarters located?

Entrepreneur: Vinted's offices are based in Vilnius, Berlin, Prague, Amsterdam, and Utrecht. But we are planning to expand in the near future.

Host: We have received a question from one of the viewers. They are asking how you make money, since when someone purchases clothes, the profit of the purchase just goes to the seller.

Entrepreneur: Actually, we get a certain percent of profit made from the transactions. We also make income from advertisements.

Host: Ok so let's wrap this up, because we're out of questions. It was very nice having you here and I think you've convinced me to join Vinted.

Entrepreneur: Of course, if you have any more questions feel free to call me. I wish all the viewers to follow their dreams and know that they will succeed. At first, I got rejected from the Vinted corporation, but after trying again a few more times I finally got accepted and it has been like a dream come true.
