Proceeds Purpose
Founder Meaghan Rose has stated goals to use this additional funding to broaden the company's customer base. Specifically, all fulfillment currently is done in house, and the capital will help grow fulfillment capacity. Rose also points to investing in technology and data science since it mainly operates through social media. Rocksbox will be relocating its headquarters to the middle of Union Square, occupying 6,000 square feet in the Tiffany's building. It will expand this way, also keeping its current location, and adding to its leadership team in the future.
