Etsy Straps on Booster Rockets

Rob Kalin, the CEO of Etsy, wrote a long post detailing the latest financing with Accel and the plans for the future of the site. It’s a great read for anyone interested in Etsy.

Some numbers on Etsy pulled from Rob’s post:

Now, thirty-three months [after Etsy's initial launch], Etsy is a company with fifty employees, a community with over 650,000 members, and a marketplace with over 120,000 sellers in 127 different countries.
