3 startups founded by entrepreneurs who used to work for Warby Parker

Cofounded by: Jen Rubio, former head of social media at Warby Parker, and Steph Korey, former head of supply chain at Warby Parker

About Away: In just four years, Rubio and Korey brought their startup Away to unicorn status, and they did it all on the idea of thoughtful, modern travel. Just as Warby Parker is synonymous with "online glasses," Away quickly rose through the ranks as the premier online suitcase, impossible not to spot rolling through the world's busiest airports.

The lightweight, organized suitcases cost $225 to $295 and can be complemented by backpacks and duffels or personalized in a variety of ways. Following in Warby Parker's footsteps, it has also expanded past a purely online presence and currently operates seven retail stores.

About Potluck: Offering 22 pieces for $270, Potluck is the kitchen startup that thought to package together an all-encompassing bundle of quality essentials, including saucepans, knives, and utensils. They're basics done right and with no distracting bells and whistles, so you can create a kitchen setup that's both efficient and effective.

You'll use every single piece in its curated sets, which means no more drawers overflowing with uniquely specialized but ultimately unnecessary tools. This refreshing lack of clutter frees up the head space for more recipes and more menu planning for all the dinner parties you'll host with the help of Potluck tools.
