Q+A with @alikaminetsky founder of @modernpicnic 💡What inspired you to start Modern Picnic? I started Modern Picnic completely out of a personal need. When I graduated from college I was working in the retail industry and would bring my lunch to work everyday because of how much faster, cheaper and healthier it was. However, I quickly realized I did not have a chic or functional way to do so. And when I went online to buy one for myself, I saw so many options for little kids and for men but none for women who wanted to look good and do good. Given the options on the market, from there the idea to start Modern Picnic was born. 🙌How do you pay it forward to support others? Ali Kaminetsky’s commitment to women is shown and strengthened by Modern Picnic’s carefully selected advisors, investors, employees and ambassadors. In 2019, Modern Picnic launched its brand ambassador program that now includes over 500 diverse and successful women across the country, and has become a powerful mentorship community led by Ali and the team. Modern Picnic has also made a meaningful and quantifiable impact in the work they do, partnering with leading global organizations, including: @thepinkagenda, @trevorproject, @peta, @iamavoter and more. 👀A founder you admire is... @the_michellegrant and @njfalk two of Modern Picnic's amazing advisors. ✒️Our Thoughts... I really liked the smooth and glossy feel of the Modern Picnic bag. It has a sturdy shape / structure which is great because nothing inside will get smushed and the food inside is kept safe. It just feels like holding a lovely fashionable bag, and you forget it’s actually a lunch box. The large size can also hold full size meal with snacks and drinks. It’s also nice to have the insulated interior to keep the refrigerated food stay cold.
