And that’s a wrap on our Q3 onsite!
Having our entire LiquiDonate team together in person is energizing, productive, exhausting, and, of course, fun! These moments mean everything to me as a founder—a chance to step away from the screens, catch up and chat off Slack, and really feel connected as a team and culture.
This onsite was a turning point for us– not because we changed direction, but because we sharpened our focus and leveled up how we execute. After days of filling whiteboards, digging into market numbers, and pushing each other with tough questions, we came out with a stronger, more unified plan to win our market.
One major highlight: we took what we learned from our events work and solidified our scalable Flat-Rate Box Method– a streamlined, accessible way for event planners to ship donations of leftover materials and products directly to nonprofits without requiring on-the-ground coordination. It’s simple, cost-effective, and ready to scale.
Q3 Wins Worth Celebrating 🎉
This retreat wasn’t just about planning– it was about celebrating what we’ve already accomplished:
- 12,317,298 items donated to date
- $130,394,836 estimated FMV of goods kept out of landfills
- 4,000+ nonprofits served
A Culture That Can Take the Big Swings
What inspired me most was how our team moved through it all. We can go from:
- A pre-onsite volunteer day
- To a fiery debate on sales strategy
- To a wildly creative Shark Tank pitch session
- To cheering on the Golden State Valkyries
- To a three-hour deep dive on market opportunities
- To rallying behind a shared plan for our future
That’s the magic of our culture: rational, thorough, humble, and built on trust.
We have a clear, actionable plan that every single person helped build and commit to. We’re fired up and ready to lead the way in eliminating retail returns waste across the globe.
I hope you’ll join us– whether as a partner, supporter, or cheerleader—in accelerating the world’s transition to a circular economy. 🌎♻️
