Today, we\u2019re discussing his more recent venture, Delli, the culinary marketplace that lets independent chefs and businesses sell food on their own terms Founded in 2020, a year before selling Depop, Delli reflects Simon\u2019s belief in the power of unique, story-rich products. Much like Depop, which became a beloved platform for new fashion brands and celebrities alike, Delli aims to revolutionise the food scene by offering a digital playground where foodie innovation can thrive. The app has already seen great success with limited-edition drops and a raw, Fujifilm aesthetic that appeals to its users. But it hasn\u2019t been all \u2018swipe left and add to cart\u2019 for this creative soul - in starting Depop he had to leave his family run magazine and sunglasses business he set up with his brother, emigrate to London, be away from his wife, and suffer long days and nights before burning out, appointing a CEO and taking a year off to recover. Then come back and do it all again. In this episode, we chat with Simon Beckerman about his transition from fashion to food, the inspiration behind Delli, and how he\u2019s using lessons from Depop to create a new market for independent food makers. Plus, Simon shares some of his favourite products on Delli and what the future holds for his next exciting new venture, fatherhood.    ","author_name":"People Doing Things","author_url":"http:\/\/edlittle.co.uk\/","html":"
