The founders of online mattress company Leesa are launching a marketplace with 100 direct-to-consumer brands like Allbirds, Untuckit and S'well.
If it seems like every day you get an Instagram ad for yet another brand you've never heard of, you're not alone.
"Direct-to-consumer brands are springing up left and right. It's getting harder and harder to discern which brands are fly-by-night and which are quality brands driven by a mission," says cofounder Matt Hayes, 37. "We are making it our mission to curate a lot of that."

Small businesses are getting a crash course in e-commerce - Marketplace
Sucharita Kodali: I don’t know that there’s an easy answer to that, unless you go hire an agency to go do that for you. And now increasingly, there’s a presence on Instagram, because Instagram offers Instagram Shops, and Facebook has Facebook Shops. If you’re in apparel, there are companies like Poshmark to put your stuff on. So there are a lot of different players out there to service these small businesses.

That another player, like a QuickBooks, will come in and say, “Oh, OK, so we need to enable this dashboard”? How long before Salesforce builds a product for this?

When Scott Kirby took the helm at United Airlines in May, the country was just eight weeks into the coronavirus pandemic. But more than six months later, even with a vaccine in sight, the beleaguered airline industry continues to burn through millions of dollars each day . In October, federal aid under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act expired, and United was among several airlines to lay off thousands of employees.
Kai Ryssdal: Let me toss you the easy softball first, and if you’ll pardon the pun: give me the 30,000-foot view of commercial aviation right now in this economy.
