4. Aside from the zip code of our office building
[Brooklyn], Portland has been the bedrock of our
customer base for years. Etsy practically invented
bird-on-apparel technology, so this is our way of
saying ‘thank you’ to a city that literally helped put
us on the map by making feather hair-clips and
steampunk goggles socially acceptable articles of
clothing.

27. THE SHARING ECONOMY: A QUIET REVOLUTION
This sharing economy is based on people coming
together to create their own markets...[like]Etsy ...
This new shared market economy is being driven
by a quiet revolution... This movement is
inadvertently creating a new economic engine that
has the potential to reorganize our economy.
Occupy Big Business: The Sharing Economy’s Quiet Revolution
Sara Horowitz in The Atlantic, December 6, 2011

28. We believe, more than ever, that Etsy can help
fundamentally change the way the world works by
making it possible for individuals to make and sell
things to other people around the globe —
a people-powered economy.

people at the center.

33. 800,000 active sellers
$525 million in community sales in 2011
(already passed in 2012)
40+ million visitors per month
150 countries

34. With the rise of small businesses around the world we
feel hope and see real opportunities: Opportunities for
us to measure success in new ways… to build local,
living economies, and most importantly, to help create
a more permanent future.
Hello Etsy
September 2011

35. gross national product … does
not allow for the health of our
children, the quality of their
education, or the joy of their
play, the beauty of our poetry or
the strength of our marriages. . .
it measures everything, in
short, except that which makes
life worthwhile.
Robert Kennedy, US Senator
1968

36. We are a mindful, transparent, and humane business.
We plan and build for the long term.
We value craftsmanship in all we make.
We believe fun should be part of everything we do.
We keep it real, always.

48. B CORP DECLARATION OF INTERDEPENDENCE
We hold these truths to be self-evident:
That we must be the change we seek in the world;
That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place mattered;
That, through their products, practices, and profits, businesses should
aspire to do no harm and benefit all.
To do so, requires that we act with the understanding that we are each
dependent upon another and thus responsible for each other and future
generations.

54. Etsy is not a nameless, faceless Internet company.
Etsy is a community of real people creating real
economic value in the communities our senators
represent. And we believe that platforms like Etsy
are a model for a brighter economic future.
