Etsy

✨We’re building a more browseable, inspiring Etsy.✨ At #GoogleCloudNext, our team showcased how we’re using AI to power a more personalized shopping experience where buyers can browse by trends, occasions and aesthetics – and discover items they love from real people, faster. Watch below to learn more about how we built it – and get a glimpse into our immersive experience at Next:

This morning Etsy reported our first quarter 2025 results. “Etsy's first quarter 2025 financial results were aligned with our expectations, with solid adjusted EBITDA performance despite pressure on the top line,” said Josh Silverman, Etsy, Inc. Chief Executive Officer. “We're excited to see green shoots, particularly in our App metrics, indicating that our work to build deeper connections with buyers and encourage more frequent visits is taking hold. By leveraging the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning, we're creating a more inspiring and engaging app experience that provides us with richer insights to personalize Etsy in meaningful ways for each buyer. We believe our seasoned team is ready to drive the next phase of Etsy’s growth and success, and that our resilient two-sided marketplace business model can help us weather macroeconomic volatility.” To watch the full video earnings call, see investors.etsy.com.

During uncertain times, we stand by our sellers. 🧡 Etsy CEO Josh Silverman sat down with CNN’s Phil Mattingly at the Semafor World Economy Summit last week to discuss the state of small business today. Josh reiterated that Etsy will keep doing everything we can to support our sellers and advocate on behalf of their needs – from communicating the latest on trade policy to supporting tax reform and caregiving support for independent workers.

It’s a simple fact: fostering employee growth is key to success. 🌱 Building a thriving workplace culture at Etsy starts with giving our people leaders the tools they need to develop themselves and their teams. One of these is our quarterly Leadership Labs:  intentional conversations designed to grow our people managers’ leadership skills.  Our first session of this year featured a fascinating conversation with Kim Scott, the acclaimed author of “Radical Candor,” moderated by our own Chief Marketing Officer Brad Minor. Kim & Brad discussed giving (and receiving) hard feedback, why empathy without challenge can be "ruinous," and what it really looks like to care about an employee. Thank you to our People & Workplace team for organizing, and to Kim for sharing your wisdom with Etsy!

Few people have had a front seat to Etsy’s growth like Chief Product Officer Nicholas Daniel over his eleven years at the company. Nick joined Carlos Gonzalez de Villaumbrosia of Product School to discuss Etsy’s evolution and how we work to drive growth through product innovation, like the new discovery experience we recently launched. 🔎🛍️✨ The episode dives into how we think about creating useful tooling that can help our sellers grow, and prioritizing the right projects to enable our community of 5M+ sellers and 90M buyers to thrive. Take a listen! https://lnkd.in/gnD-JVQJ

One of the great things about Etsy is that shoppers can connect with sellers and discover amazing items from nearly anywhere–whether it be their own hometown or halfway around the world. As global trade policies shift between the US and many countries around the world, we remain committed to delivering a seamless experience: helping our buyers shop with confidence and empowering sellers to run their businesses with as little disruption as possible.

We brought the magic of Etsy to life this past week at #GoogleCloudNext! With the help of Google Cloud, we created an immersive exhibit that highlighted how we use Google’s AI tools to fuel Etsy’s new visual-forward discovery experience and help us better understand our unique inventory. The exhibit even featured an 11-foot tall physical manifestation of the endless inspiration our new browsing experience offers! And of course, we put our sellers and their incredible items front and center, showcasing their creations in a “Museum of Extraordinary Objects.” A huge thank you to the Google Cloud and Etsy teams who made this happen!

We love connecting with and learning from our sellers – from in-person events to seller surveys, we’re committed to nurturing our community 🧡 We recently welcomed sellers to Etsy’s HQ in Brooklyn for a panel discussion to share their experiences with our Seller Services team. Hosted by Deborah Dana, Senior Director of Product Management, and Hannah Ghidey, Senior Manager of Product Research, the group provided valuable insights and we’re grateful for their time sharing how we can continue to support and enhance the seller experience. Thank you to Laylo Pets, LetterParty, ON24THBYJORDIE, MELLOWWORKS, and CorrieBethMakes for spending the day with us.

Introducing a more browseable, inspiring, AI-powered shopping experience – right in the Etsy app! Shoppers can now browse by curated collections based on trends, aesthetics and occasions. These collections are distinct and varied, ranging from timely trends like “Island Luxe” to everyday aesthetics like “Modern Farmhouse.” The new experience combines the human curation of our expert teams with the power of AI to bring curation to scale across our marketplace of 100M+ items. And, it’s personalized to each shopper based on what they like. This is a first step in our journey to reimagine browsing on Etsy, with an experience designed to inspire and delight shoppers and celebrate the creativity and craftsmanship of our sellers.
