Rental Marketplaces and the FCA: Lessons From a Startup Founder

Marketplace Risk Platform Podcast

This week Elle Tucker talks to Bradley Hornby, CEO and Co-Founder of Homebound, a marketplace for renting furniture and other interior design. Bradley shares his startup journey, talking first about the reasons that furniture rental is increasing in popularity and the need for a mainstream marketplace like this to address the need. He then tells the story of the bend in the road during his startup journey, and how a sudden need for FCA approval forced operations to halt. What lessons has he learned that he can pass on to other startup founders, and what does the future hold for Homebound now? A fascinating conversation!
