TNW Backstage this week peeks behind the petals of the flower business — but not as you know it. In the latest episode of our podcast, we dig beyond beautiful bouquets to unearth the digital trends, disruptive models, and market moves reshaping the industry.
Guiding us through the changes is Aron Gelbard, co-founder and CEO of Bloom & Wild — the UK’s top-rated online flower delivery company.
Founded in 2013, Bloom & Wild transformed the traditional flower industry by moving it online and pioneering its now-famous letterbox delivery model. Aron shared the scaleup’s story, business strategy, and tips for fellow founders during a talk at last year’s TNW Conference. We revisit the session in the latest episode of TNW Backstage — and preview the founders and insights featured at this year’s event.
You can listen to the show on Spotify, on our dedicated podcast site, or via the media player at the bottom of this article.
