Minted

What happens when you challenge cross-functional teams to get their hands on the latest AI tools to dream big, or make a cumbersome task 10X faster? Bold, design-forward innovation. Last week, we hosted the 2026 Minted Hackathon, powered by AI. This year, we challenged everyone in the company - not just our technical teams - to participate, using AI tools or AI-assisted coding to build solutions, improve processes, learn, and explore. We were blown away by the creativity, collaboration, and forward-thinking ideas that our teams came up with. 1/3 of our employees participated, including functions you wouldn't normally think of as technical. We had fun learning and building. We built our collective confidence that anyone in the company can use AI to make our work better. We had more than 40 teams present hacks - our largest Hackathon ever! And many of those projects are immediately being put to use to improve our day-to-day work. Please join us in congratulating this year’s winning team: Submission Impossible: A thoughtful and beautifully executed reimagining of the artist submission process. Congratulations to Natalie Massarany, Claire Wilson, Emma Pack, Nathan Glynn, Hao Wu and Luis Pena on this incredible achievement! Thank you to everyone who participated, collaborated, and helped shape what’s coming next for Minted.

Did Mother’s Day sneak up on you? Us too, it happens. At Minted, we think about celebrations with intention—but we also know this time of year can be busy. Whether you’re celebrating a mom, a grandmother, or a mother figure, even a last-minute gesture can still feel meaningful. You can find Minted products at Target, Whole Foods Market, and H-E-B Stores nationwide. If you’re really short on time, Minted products are also available on DoorDash and Amazon for quick delivery. Wishing a happy Mother’s Day to all the nurturers in our community! 💞

Minted Co-founder and CEO, Melissa Kim, shared with Forbes our repositioning strategy - doubling down on premium, exiting smaller, lower-priced offerings, and adding new products and services aimed at the luxury market. This strategy - along with a lot of other exciting work at Minted in recent years - has led us to new heights. We will surpass $300 million revenue this year, we're growing revenue at double-digits percentage year-over-year, and we doubled our profitability last year. https://lnkd.in/ggU9J-Qb

Our Co-founder and CEO, Melissa Kim, gave Forbes a look behind the scenes, sharing parts of her playbook that drove record-breaking results at Minted: double-digit year-over-year revenue growth and doubled profitability in 2025, positioning us to surpass $300 million in revenue this year, with accelerating growth this year. Our strong results begin with our thriving e-commerce growth in holiday cards and weddings and are boosted by our quickly-growing wholesale business. By staying true to our core as a curated marketplace for independent art, we are scaling with intention: - Focusing on premium and expanding into luxury: We’ve invested in new, premium product formats and white-glove services for discerning customers. - Deepening customer loyalty: We’re so grateful to customers who remain loyal to Minted, sometimes for more than a decade. You put great trust in us for your weddings, welcoming babies, holiday, home, and other life events. We work hard to maintain that trust. - Omnichannel reach: Our wholesale business grew >25% last year as retailers like Target, Whole Foods, and H-E-B turn to Minted to help them attract younger generations to store who value trend, fresh design, physical quality, and independent artistry. - Creating economic opportunity for independent artists: our community of more than 20,000 artists are the beating heart of Minted and the reason why our products are beautiful and ahead of trend. #Minted #BusinessGrowth #IndependentArtists #RetailInnovation #CreativeEconomy Article here: https://lnkd.in/ewnPhgrv

Today is Independent Artist Day™. At Minted, we’ve built our business around a simple belief: human creativity matters. As technology and AI continue to reshape how work is created and discovered, that belief has only become more important. The most meaningful design comes from lived experience, perspective, and a point of view that can’t be replicated. It’s what people choose to mark their weddings, holidays, and milestones. Our role is to help those voices reach more people. Through our marketplace, more than 20,000 independent artists around the world share their work with millions of consumers. Data and machine learning help surface emerging trends, elevate great design, and create more opportunity. Today, we’re proud to celebrate the artists behind it all!
