Miri Buckland: Founder of LANDING
This week we chat with Miri Buckland!
In this episode, Miri and Erica talk about how they each define creativity and how Miri's business, Landing, was created to help members find their inner creative voice. She shares the origin stories of the business (originally was targeting interior designers!) and what it's been like to scale their community and uncover trends before the rest of the world sees them (ex. tomato girl summer, which you can learn about in the episode)!
Miri Buckland is the COO and co-founder of LANDING, an online social commerce platform that allows users to tap into daily creativity, discover collective inspiration, deliver authentic expression, and nurture meaningful connections.
As someone who discovered her identity as a 'creative' later in life, Miri is on a mission to empower everyone to be and feel creative. Together with her team, she is developing LANDING’s platform to ignite creativity across its growing +200k global LANDING VERSE community.
Landing is backed by leading investors including Cowboy Ventures, Defy VC, DreamMachine Ventures, and Progression Fund. By trade, Miri is a marketer, community builder and consumer tech operator. Prior to co-founding LANDING, Miri held roles at Sky TV in London and in venture capital in San Francisco. Miri was a 2022 Forbes 30 under 30 recipient and a Graduate of Stanford University School of Business.
