In honor of National Intern Day yesterday, our 2025 summer interns spent an unforgettable day in New York City—capping it off by witnessing the closing bell ceremony at Nasdaq! From visiting our Madison Avenue store to touring city landmarks, the day was a true celebration of all they’ve accomplished this summer. We’re proud of this exceptional group of students who have made a meaningful impact across our organization. A big thank you to each of them—we can’t wait to see where your journey takes you next!

Fatherhood takes many forms and at The RealReal, we’re proud to celebrate them all. From early meetings to late-night lullabies, solo parenting to chosen families, our dads show up with heart, humor, and hustle across every level and department. We’re spotlighting a reflection from TRR dad, Ajay Gopal, to share what fatherhood means to him. With real flexibility, paid leave, and support for every stage of parenting, we’re committed to being a workplace where parents can thrive—on and off the clock. To all the dads—and all who dad—thank you for everything you bring, every day.
