Since opening in December 2013, Boxed has raised more than $165 million in venture capital funding and grown to operate four fulfillment centers. The wholesaler has received positive press after paying for employees’ weddings and their kids’ college tuition. And recently, the NRF Foundation honored Co-Founder and CEO Chieh Huang as one of 25 individuals shaping retail’s future.
