The Expert started out in 2021 as a way for anyone, regardless of budget, to get a one-hour video consultation with some of the top interior designers in the world. Now, buoyed by $12 million in Series A funding, the one-year-old company is expanding into e-commerce to become what co-founder Leo Seigal referred to as “Farfetch for home.”

We profiled the company when it launched with a $3 million round, with Seigal saying at the time, “We were able to attract a crazy roster of designers partly thanks to co-founder Jake Arnold (who styles the homes of Katy Perry and Chrissy Teigen), who is so highly regarded in the industry, and partly due to a timeliness of offering which is far above anything that has been tried in the home space.”
