, an earlier version of Pinterest, to Hearst in 2007 for an undisclosed amount.
Chandra said he and his founding team struggled to convince investors that Poshmark could be a successful app that only lived on a user's mobile device. According to Chandra, multiple investors asked the team to develop a version that worked on a web browser or completely abandon mobile for more familiar territory.

Chadda ended up leading Poshmark's $3.5 million Series A in February 2011 that valued the company at $6.5 million. His conviction in Chandra and his team paid off: the company was recently valued at $625 million and will raise even more if the public offering goes as planned.
