In this episode, Doone is in the hot seat. Interviewed by her husband, this is a fast, slightly chaotic, very honest conversation about why she barely posted last year, what was actually going on behind the scenes, and how she still manages to build, lead, and follow through on what she sets her mind to.


We talk ambition, energy, focus, pressure, and the parts of success that don’t show up online. No hype. No polished narrative. Just the real mechanics of how she thinks, decides, and moves.

Today, we’re kicking off our three-part mini-series all about bootstrapping—those early, scrappy days where you’re building a dream with sheer grit, determination, and maybe a little duct tape.


For this first episode, I’m chatting with the amazing Piera Gelardi, who you might know as the co-founder of Refinery29. But today, we’re diving into her latest creative venture, Wild Things World—a bootstrapped startup dedicated to bringing more play and joy into our everyday lives. And let me tell you, it is a total cracker of an episode.


Piera radiates good vibes, and in our chat, she shares what she’s learned from her 15 years at Refinery29, why bootstrapping her new business has brought her back to her roots, and her framework for tapping into your creative self—because we all have that magic spark just waiting to be unlocked.


Wild Things World is all about celebrating the power of play. Did you know that play reduces stress, boosts creativity, and even helps us live longer? Yeah, it’s that good. So if you’ve been feeling stuck, uninspired, or just plain blah, this episode is the perfect dose of creative energy.

Piera radiates good vibes, and in our chat, she shares what she’s learned from her 15 years at Refinery29, why bootstrapping her new business has brought her back to her roots, and her framework for tapping into your creative self—because we all have that magic spark just waiting to be unlocked.


Wild Things World is all about celebrating the power of play. Did you know that play reduces stress, boosts creativity, and even helps us live longer? Yeah, it’s that good. So if you’ve been feeling stuck, uninspired, or just plain blah, this episode is the perfect dose of creative energy.


Alrighty, let’s dive in. This is Piera for Female Startup Club.

Hi, I’m Doone - your host and hype girl. If you’re new here, this is the popular business podcast that takes you behind the scenes of some the world’s most successful entrepreneurs - that happen to be women.


Women like Becca Stern from Mustard Made. Becca Stern is the Co-founder and Creative Director of Mustard Made, a cult homewares brand known for its colourful range of vintage-inspired metal lockers. Becca launched Mustard in collaboration with her sister, Jess, in 2018 and has since grown the business into a thriving, global brand spanning three continents and with a team of over 30. The idea for Mustard Made was inspired by Becca’s love of vintage lockers and the shared dream of creating a business that allowed her and Jess to spend more time together as sisters. In this episode, we dive into the incredible founder story of a single parent with a passion for conceptual art, who, through a series of unexpected twists, casual jobs, and a love for beautiful yet functional design, went on to build a multimillion-dollar business selling lockers with her sister—proving that sometimes, success comes from following your instincts and taking things one step at a time.

Hi, I’m Doone - your host and hype girl. If you’re new here, this is the popular business podcast that takes you behind the scenes of some the world’s most successful entrepreneurs - that happen to be women.


Women like Becca Stern from Mustard Made. Becca Stern is the Co-founder and Creative Director of Mustard Made, a cult homewares brand known for its colourful range of vintage-inspired metal lockers. Becca launched Mustard in collaboration with her sister, Jess, in 2018 and has since grown the business into a thriving, global brand spanning three continents and with a team of over 30. The idea for Mustard Made was inspired by Becca’s love of vintage lockers and the shared dream of creating a business that allowed her and Jess to spend more time together as sisters. In this episode, we dive into the incredible founder story of a single parent with a passion for conceptual art, who, through a series of unexpected twists, casual jobs, and a love for beautiful yet functional design, went on to build a multimillion-dollar business selling lockers with her sister—proving that sometimes, success comes from following your instincts and taking things one step at a time.


Whether you're just starting your side hustle, scaling your biz or looking for inspiration, join us on this crazy journey to learn all the good stuff like raising venture capital, selling your startup for life changing money, mistakes you can avoid and how to keep your mental health in check.

This week we're diving into one of the most requested topics ever – how we manage to produce so much content and keep it all organised. This is a question Doone gets asked ALL the time, and we figured it’s about time we pull back the curtain. If you're a fellow content creator, small business owner, or just someone who's curious about the behind-the-scenes magic, you're in the right place.

In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on our entire content system. We'll walk you through how we plan, create, and distribute our content, all while ensuring it stays high-quality and engaging.

]]> Hello and welcome back to the show - it’s Doone here - your host and Hype Girl. In these Friday episodes, we have a co-host joining us, Josephine, and every week we will be checking in to talk about what’s current and trending in the world of business with tips on how you could leverage that and what’s coming up inside the Facebook group.


This week we've got an absolute gem of an episode lined up for you. We're diving into something every entrepreneur needs to nail – building your email subscriber list. This is something that’s actually way more exciting and crucial than it sounds, and that’s because email is essentially you opportunity to have a direct line to your most engaged and loyal fans and customers: people who have actually opted into and want to hear from you. It’s a VIP club for your business.


This episode will be packed with practical advice you can start using today, both for the founders starting out and the founders looking to boost their list.


Let’s get into it, this is the weekly Hype Girl chat.

Hello and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl.


Today on the show, we are getting a front row seat into the joyful world of Sundae Body - a body care brand who has absolutely exploded in the last couple of years. Sundae Body is not only the No.1 toiletry brand in Australia's leading pharmacy but they are sitting in over 1.5M showers with their insanely growing range of Whip Shower Foams. They are going to be in more than 7,000 stores globally by the end of this year and there is SO much gold packed into this episode. 


We're going through the original thought process to starting this brand and how they landed on the kind of look and feel and brand vibe. How they got into 1200 stores before even launching and a bunch of really good stuff around the retail playbook. 


If you love this episode, you can find more about Lizzie in our weekly newsletter linked in the show-notes below, we'd love to see you there!


Alrighty, let’s jump in! This is Lizzie for Female Startup Club.

It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl.


I am so excited to bring you this special mini-series on the pod that is centred around failure. The next three weeks we are going to be diving in and reflecting on some of our favourite episodes that are all about embracing failure and turning it into your greatest asset - because we’ve all been there. Failing is literally just part of the journey whether we like it or not. 


For the final episode of the three-part series, I'm joined by the co-founder of Mid-Day Squares, Lezlie Karls. What are Mid-Day Squares I hear you ask: They’re vegan protein bars that are also known as little pieces of heaven perfectly designed to stop your hunger or cravings in between meals. And they’re on a Mission To Take Over The World Of Healthy Snacks.


In this episode we’re talking about a solid 10/10 sampling program they launched with overcoming hurdles with manufacturing and operations, turning down an acquisition and some crazy drama they went through when Hershey’s came banging on their door with a cease and desist.


If you have a story to share all around failure, we would love for you to share it in our Facebook Group. Come in, join us, and be a part of the conversation. 


Alrighty! Let’s dive in. This is Lezlie for Female Startup Club.

It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl.


I am so excited to bring you this special mini-series on the pod that is centred around failure. The next three weeks we are going to be diving in and reflecting on some of our favourite episodes that are all about embracing failure and turning it into your greatest asset - because we’ve all been there. Failing is literally just part of the journey whether we like it or not. 


For the second episode of the three-part series, I'm joined by the two co-founders of Goverre, Regan Kelaher and Shannon Zappala. Shannon and Regan, began collaborating on all things ‘wine’ in 2015. Their passion for great wine, dislike of plastic glasses and a love for Southern California’s outdoor lifestyle led to the birth of GOVERRE. GOVERRE is a portable wine glass tumbler with silicone sleeve and a drink-through lid.


In this episode you’ll hear their lesson learned after a first failed attempt at a kickstarter, what happened after they went on shark tank and were hit with a major lawsuit, and what they wish they did differently if they had their time over.


If you have a story to share all around failure, we would love for you to share it in our Facebook Group. Come in, join us, and be a part of the conversation. 


Alrighty! Let’s dive in. This is Regan and Shannon for Female Startup Club.

Hello everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl.


Born and raised in Harlem, U.S.A., Diarrha N’Diaye-Mbaye is a first- generation Senegalese-American entrepreneur. Over the past decade, Diarrha has worked in marketing, communications and social media for multi-million dollar brands such as Rebecca Minkoff, VIBE Magazine, and L’Oreal Paris. She then began to lead and execute new product launches while working in product development and innovation at Glossier. Bringing her 8+ years of experience, today she is the Founder and CEO of emerging beauty brand, Ami Colé, a "better-for-you" brand made to celebrate melanin-rich skin.


Okay, so this episode is insane. It's packed with so much goodness. We're covering a lot of that juicy stuff that happens in the lead-up to building a brand. How you get from idea to sample, and from sample to money, and from money to launch. So if you're in that really early stage, this is an episode for you! You better believe there's going to be a pt.2 coming, so bookmark and stay tuned.


Before we get into that juicy stuff, one ask from me. If you love the show and get something out of it, please do honour the girl code and leave us a review whenever you’re listening to other ears can find us too. You know I love it when you do that, and I am so grateful in advance!


Alrighty, let’s jump in! This is Diarrha for Female Startup Club.

Hello everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl. Today we’re learning from Belinda Everingham, the founder of Bondi Wash & Wash Wild, and there is so much to unpack in this episode.


Belinda Everingham, founder of BONDI WASH, is the creative force behind WASH WILD. A love of nature, combined with a desire to create gentle, natural and affordable alternatives to home and body products, motivated Belinda Everingham to create WASH WILD. Following the success of its more premium sister brand, BONDI WASH, Belinda wanted to create a range that was more accessible, available in supermarkets, but still truly natural with high-quality ingredients.


We are talking through a decade of learnings from building multiple brands. We’re talking fundraising, government support, international expansion, retail, advice for new founders, and literally so much more.


Before we get into that juicy stuff, one ask from me. If you love the show and get something out of it, please do honour the girl code and leave us a review whenever you’re listening to other ears can find us too. You know I love it when you do that, and I am so grateful in advance!

In these Friday episodes, we have a co-host joining us, Josephine, and every week we will be checking in to talk about what’s current and trending in the world of business with tips on how you could leverage that and what’s coming up inside the Facebook group.


This week, we have an exciting episode that’s all about leveraging the power of collaborations and partnerships to grow your business. I’m really of the opinion - and we constantly hear this on the show - that forming strategic collaborations and partnerships can be a game-changer for your brand. It opens new doors, expands your reach, and provides resources that might otherwise be out of reach. So, if you’re ready to learn how to create and sustain valuable partnerships that can propel your business forward, you’re in the right place.


We love this opportunity to chat with you directly, so don't forget: if you want us to explore something in more detail in the coming episodes - join us and drop into the group! You can find it linked in the show notes.

In these Friday episodes, we have a co-host joining us, Josephine, and every week we will be checking in to talk about what’s current and trending in the world of business with tips on how you could leverage that and what’s coming up inside the Facebook group.


This week, we are going to talk about a topic which has been very top of mind for us these past few weeks, and that’s TikTok Shop. TikTok Shop is  the e-commerce arm of TikTok which has completely turned the e-comm world on it's head in countries like the US and the UK. With TikTok Shop hitting the Australian market soon, we walk you through exactly how you can get started, how much it is a content game and what you can expect from the space as a small business owner in 2024. So stoked about this next chapter!


We love this opportunity to chat with you directly, so don't forget: if you want us to explore something in more detail in the coming episodes - join us and drop into the group! You can find it linked in the show notes.


Let’s get into it, this is the weekly Hype Girl chat.

In these twice-weekly episodes, we will be digging back into our archives to find little value-packing gems from previous episodes.


In this gem, Kaylin talks us through the power of hitting the internet pavement to get your story out there. What you can do to take that grassroots approach that inherently builds that word of mouth marketing for you. We also talk about holding off on launching paid media ads and blowing thousands of dollars or get things happen, but finding organic ways to reach your target audience through innovative campaigns.

This week, we can't believe it's taken us this long to record an episode on all the different ways you can fund your business. We know the reality of the situation all too well - women - especially women of colour, don't only earn less than men in the workforce but are also less likely to get access to capital for their businesses. It's wild, but it's exactly why we're digging into the 7 ways you can approach funding (that you might not have considered yet). We also cover how you decide whether the bootstrapped or funded approach is the best for you, and any advice for founders who are struggling to secure funding for their business right now.


We love this opportunity to chat with you directly, so don't forget: if you want us to explore something in more detail in the coming episodes - join us and drop into the group! You can find it linked in the show notes.

In these Friday episodes, we have a co-host joining us, Josephine, and every week we will be checking in to talk about what’s current and trending in the world of business with tips on how you could leverage that and what’s coming up inside the Facebook group.


This week, we can't believe it's taken us this long to record an episode on all the different ways you can fund your business. We know the reality of the situation all too well - women - especially women of colour, don't only earn less than men in the workforce but are also less likely to get access to capital for their businesses. It's wild, but it's exactly why we're digging into the 7 ways you can approach funding (that you might not have considered yet). We also cover how you decide whether the bootstrapped or funded approach is the best for you, and any advice for founders who are struggling to secure funding for their business right now.


We love this opportunity to chat with you directly, so don't forget: if you want us to explore something in more detail in the coming episodes - join us and drop into the group! You can find it linked in the show notes.


Let’s get into it, this is the weekly Hype Girl chat.

Hello and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! We have such a cracking episode for you today, chatting with the founder and inventor of Contour Cube, Sarah Forrai. We had her on the show back in October 2021 - which I highly recommend listening to first so you can get the full picture of just how insane this story is and the power of finding a true gap in the market. This brand journey has been next level!


In this ep we’re chatting through Sarah’s the top hacks to growing her tiktok account to over 400,000 followers and her tips and insights into the 100s of millions of views she has across all of her channels thanks to winning short form video content. We also take a deep dive into everything gifting and influencers and at the verrrrry end Sarah takes us through her very new product that just launched this week, the GuaCube with a detailed plan on how she built crazy hype in the lead up to launch. Definitely don’t miss that final gem!


If you love this ep as much as I did recording it, be sure to let us know by sharing it on Instagram or dropping into our Facebook group with 4000 other like minded female founders and small business owners.

How do we think the Kardashian became such a business success? But personal branding isn’t just for celebs: it’s for you too. Today, consumers want to do business with people rather than companies. This is great news, people want to buy from YOU! Now it’s just about letting them get to know you.

Hello and welcome back to the show! Today we’re learning from Connie Lo, co-founder of Three Ships Beauty! We had Connie on the show back in August of 2021 and now she’s back with an update and we’re trying out a new format where we dig into some of her biggest lessons when it comes to funding, hiring and firing and marketing. This episode is absolute fire and I think we need to do another one to dig into Connie’s lessons on retail and product development- so if you agree and you want Connie back on the show let us know by sharing her episode on IG stories or dropping into our Facebook group!


And while I’ve got you here! A quick reminder to check out our new program, ecommerce fundamentals. If you’re an early stage founder or you’re getting ready to launch your brand - and you’re starting the year really committed to taking action towards your sales and marketing goals - I designed this specifically for you. It’s the program I wish I had when I was building my jewelry brand and feeling totally overwhelmed and not really sure where to focus day to day. It takes you through everything from developing your messaging to your content engine, finding your first 1000 true fans organically, my proprietary framework that I use to launch and create buzz online and finally - getting started with your own Facebook and TikTok ads. And of course I have a special launch offer for you that’s available right now. You can check it out by going to femalestartupclub.com/course.

I love that vibe and it makes me so happy getting to know more of you so if you’re not already chiming in, come hang out with us on Facebook.


Today we’re learning from Suzie Betts - she is the founder of a company called Boob Armour. Suzie started her company after finding lumps in her breast as a result of playing contact sports throughout her life. And now as a mum of two daughters who play contact sports she wanted to set out to create safety gear for women and girls. It’s a really interesting episode and we talk a lot about how she’s approaching partnerships with major clubs like the Matilda’s right through to retail and schools and everything in between.

Hi everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - we are SO grateful and happy to have you here. Every week we’re learning from some of the world’s most brilliant minds in business. Like the founder of NAT’V Basics, Sandy Ronalds. Sandy launched her biz in 2019 and in the last year alone sold 600,000 units from a few simple strategies. This story speaks to the power of spotting a clear gap in the market, proving out the concept, and going for it.


In this episode, Sandy shares her blueprint for making your business make business sense. In the dreaming phase, determine your why and know what your purpose is going to be for the brand through building brand pillars (these pillars have nothing to do with the end product but are about why you are joining us rather than another brand). In the building phase, consistently communicate the dreaming phase; it’s one thing knowing something yourself, and it’s another when it clearly comes across (pumping socials with the why’s and the purpose of the brand so you attract those who naturally align with your brand). In the day-to-day, Sandy still runs the nat’v basics IG intimately; she gets to know you and you get to know the real essence of the brand. It's key to remember here that your why doesn't have to be grandiose. It can be as simple as brightening someone's day, making them feel confident, or offering a sustainable solution.


Before we jump into today’s episode I want to quickly mention the Girl Code that we introduced a few episodes back! The gist is that it’s a very loose and casual deal where if you love what we’re doing over here and we bring you some value or a smile or a gem of insight, you take a tiny action every time you listen to one of our episodes. Whether that’s by leaving us a review, or sharing this episode on social media - basically anything that helps us reach more ears and keep growing. It’s a weird time right now and I’m in need of my hype girls. And to everyone who already does this - I appreciate you more than you know.

Hi everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - we are SO grateful and happy to have you here. Every week we’re learning from some of the world’s most brilliant minds in business. Like the founder of NAT’V Basics, Sandy Ronalds. Sandy launched her biz in 2019 and in the last year alone sold 600,000 units from a few simple strategies. This story speaks to the power of spotting a clear gap in the market, proving out the concept, and going for it.


In this episode, Sandy shares her blueprint for making your business make business sense. In the dreaming phase, determine your why and know what your purpose is going to be for the brand through building brand pillars (these pillars have nothing to do with the end product but are about why you are joining us rather than another brand). In the building phase, consistently communicate the dreaming phase; it’s one thing knowing something yourself, and it’s another when it clearly comes across (pumping socials with the why’s and the purpose of the brand so you attract those who naturally align with your brand). In the day-to-day, Sandy still runs the nat’v basics IG intimately; she gets to know you and you get to know the real essence of the brand. It's key to remember here that your why doesn't have to be grandiose. It can be as simple as brightening someone's day, making them feel confident, or offering a sustainable solution.

Hi everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’re a small business owner or an entrepreneur listening to this episode - you probably know how hard it can be to generate revenue - it's bloody tough! you might have just started and made a few sales… you might have made a few thousand dollars in sales or maybe even a few hundred thousand - hell maybe you’ve made multi 7 figures in sales! Now imagine scaling your business to hitting $200 million in revenue. Imagine what that would look like from a supply chain point of view, a product development pov, the investment point of view.


That’s what Kristel de Groote did - all while she was in her 20’s. I know. Wild. Today’s episode is a reminder that when you stick it out for the long run, when you have a real purpose and drive to change the world - magical things can happen. Kristel built her company, Your Super, alongside her partner Michael in their early 20s after Michael battled cancer. They built it to $200m in revenue and then sold it to the Healing Company in 2022 for an undisclosed amount. This story starts with humble beginnings and it ends with so many brilliant learnings, I hope you love it as much as I do!


I particularly love the part of this episode where we talk about the bottleneck in your business. You are the bottleneck of your business. Some of the greatest growth that you will see happen in your company comes at times when you work on your personal growth. And by personal growth, I don’t mean having all the answers. It’s knowing that not knowing is your superpower. It’s knowing that you don’t need to know step 100 when you’re at step 1. It’s wholeheartedly finding peace with yourself when you are: on a seat at the table that you have built yourself.

Naked Sundays is an Australian SPF brand aimed at inspiring the next generation to love and wear SPF every single day with fun, easy to use sunscreens.


This is a really inspiring story and we’re going to break down her secrets to success, what makes a brand pop and what you need to know about regulations when building a sunscreen brand.

I absolutely loved hearing about why Samantha decided to keep this venture a secret from the public for 9 months. She realized that sunscreen is complex, it’s made by chemists, and she's not going to be the one in the kitchen mixing this herself. Instead she's getting someone to make the best of the best, but will anyone really take it seriously with her name on the brand? So she didn't tell anyone about being a founder. This is the first time I've heard of something like this on the show, and I find it such an interesting approach. Samantha didn’t want people to think that I was just doing this for the sake of it.


Another part that made this journey a little more complicated than manufacturing your regular beauty products, is that there is a strong barrier to entry in the sunscreen space. It is classed as a medication in Australia and classed as a drug in America. Those are things to really think about before diving into the space. Even when it comes to advertising rules, you should put on a warning *reapply regularly*, on social media, podcasts, influencers, the whole mix. You can’t give a testimonial. It's pretty crazy stuff.


Let’s get straight into this episode, this is Samantha for Female Startup Club


**Avoid prolonged sun exposure, make sure you re-apply frequently in accordance with directions. Remember, sunscreen is only one component of sun protection so always wear a hat, protective clothing and eyewear when you’re in the sun.

Hi everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - welcome welcome welcome. Every week we’re learning from some of the world’s most brilliant minds in business. Like Jane Lu, the founder of Showpo. Jane’s story is so inspiring and full of ups and downs and what really stood out to me was her sheer determination to succeed and the absolute resilience to keep going no matter what because failure just wasn’t an option. I came off this episode feeling so inspired and I know you will too. Jane is the queen of building a business while having some serious fun along the way and she shares so many gems to building her biz to $100m in revenue in this episode! Stick around to the end where she shares some of her crazy stories!


A great piece of advice in this episode came down to putting in place systems and processes that will mean that you can then start hiring people to work in the business, so you can start working on the business; it’s the first step. It’s so hard for an entrepreneur because you’re so busy doing it that you don’t want to slow down and think about systems, but you’ve got to think about the bigger picture. Build that foundation. From there on, you can start hiring for your weaknesses. Hiring people to work on the business, people to bounce ideas off. Understanding what you don’t like and what your blind spots are. A bit of outsourcing but also in-housing.

Today we’re chatting with Laura who is the CEO of the Kic App and we’re really diving into her mission to help others embrace self-acceptance and make sustainable changes towards a healthier, happier lifestyle. The KIC app is like your best friend in health and wellness, literally in your pocket. It helps you with easy yummy soul-nourishing food recipes and workout programs you can literally do from home.

I really loved this episode because Laura talks us through her journey from turning her experience in a toxic industry into a life-changing, high-impact company that helps women positively every single day. We talk through how she manages running a business as the CEO with her life outside of work - a battle we all seem to face, the real costs of developing an app, and her tips for getting started if you have an idea.

Hi everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! Every week on the Female Startup Club podcast I interview some of the world’s most successful founders and women in business to understand their blueprint to success. And today you’re going to meet someone very very special. Ju Rhyu. She’s the founder of a company called Hero Cosmetics. Now we had Ju on the show back in 2020 - pandemic - when I was London based - feels like a lifetime apart from today - to share her journey in starting the business - and if you didn’t hear that episode I highly recommend you go back and listen to it because Ju took a very interesting path to launching Hero and it’s well worth a listen, with so many interesting gems and mini tactics we can all take note of. 


But today we’re digging into something VERY different and exciting and crazy. It’s her path to acquisition. We often hear on the show from entrepreneurs who have raised millions of dollars and are in the middle of the journey but last year in 2022 Ju sold her business, for $630 million dollars. That is more than half a billion dollars. Wow. And it’s rare that we get to learn from someone who’s actually pulled this off at this scale. This conversation is so insightful and as always Ju shares it all. So buckle up - because we’re in for a real treat today.


Alrighty let’s do this! This is Ju for Female Startup Club.

Every week on the Female Startup Club podcast I interview some of the world’s most successful founders and women in business to understand their blueprint to success. And today you’re going to meet someone very very special. Ju Rhyu. She’s the founder of a company called Hero Cosmetics. Now we had Ju on the show back in 2020 - pandemic - when I was London based - feels like a lifetime apart from today - to share her journey in starting the business - and if you didn’t hear that episode I highly recommend you go back and listen to it because Ju took a very interesting path to launching Hero and it’s well worth a listen, with so many interesting gems and mini tactics we can all take note of. 


But today we’re digging into something VERY different and exciting and crazy. It’s her path to acquisition. We often hear on the show from entrepreneurs who have raised millions of dollars and are in the middle of the journey but last year in 2022 Ju sold her business, for $630 million dollars. That is more than half a billion dollars. Wow. And it’s rare that we get to learn from someone who’s actually pulled this off at this scale. This conversation is so insightful and as always Ju shares it all. So buckle up - because we’re in for a real treat today.


Alrighty let’s do this! This is Ju for Female Startup Club.

Hello and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl. Today on the show we’re learning from Jash Mehta, founder of Pop & Bottle. Pop & Bottle was inspired when Jash Mehta and her close friend Blair Hardy made the move from the London to California meeting for their daily ritual - the morning latte.


As coffee lovers who also prioritized health, the two friends asked themselves why nothing on the grocery store shelves met their standards: clean label, dairy-free, no refined sugar, and organic. Jash co-founded Pop & Bottle from a genuine desire to create quality coffee and tea beverages she wanted in her own life — and make them available to the millions of people who share in her passion for clean, healthful, high-integrity products.


We talk through her early blueprint which his still super relevant to today and how she expanded from 30 to 100 stores and then onto 10,000. If you’re in the food and Bev industry - grab your pen and paper and settle in for an episode packed with valuable insights.

Hello and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - hi! I’m so happy you found us. Every week we’re learning from some of the world’s most brilliant minds in business. Like the co-founder of Form Nutrition, a B Corp-certified plant-based nutrition company, created from the simple belief that we become the greatest version of ourselves while making a positive impact in the lives of others. Launched in 2017 in the United Kingdom, Form Nutrition was born when Co-Founders Natalia Bojanic and Damian Soong started rethinking their habits and the effects diet has on health and the climate. Form’s 100% plant-based protein powders and responsibly-sourced nootropics are backed by science and were designed with optimal performance in mind. From performance and muscle growth to improving sleep and cognitive support, Form’s unique suite of plant-based products are impact-driven to support overall health and wellness and empower individuals to meet their unique goals.


We’re talking through so many different things today like the practice of building a meditation habit with a very practical tip to getting started if you’re someone like me who is so on again and off again with meditation. Something else I reallyy love about this episode is when we touch on when to quit and why that shouldn’t be seen as a failure. I do this constantly in my life and it’s such a powerful way to move towards your strengths and superpowers, and away from the things that drain you. And finally, we talk through some simple marketing strategies and mindsets that everyone could implement into their business tomorrow.

Hello and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl sliding into your ears with a new episode on the Female Startup Club podcast. If you’re new here, hi! Welcome! Every week we interview some of the world’s most exciting and successful founders and entrepreneurs - who happen to be women. Like Jess Hatzis-Walker. One of the co-founders behind the iconic skincare brand, Frank Bod. Frank Bod started a decade ago back in 2013 and through their strong original branding and an innovative approach to marketing grew it from $0-$100m+ business.


In this episode, we chat through what shifted the needle in scaling this brand, how early-stage founders should think about brand and Marketing in today’s world, and what Jess would do if she was starting it all again tomorrow.


I love the part of this episode where we dive into just how easy it is to get stuck in old habits, even when that's the total opposite of what you should be focusing on. It’s easy over time to get set in your ways and rinse and repeat things. But as founders, we have got to remember: the only thing scarier than a new idea is an old one. It's this idea that guides a lot of Frank Body's decision-making. When it comes down to it, a lot of money makes people lazy and stupid. Your best campaigns will be done on a shoestring budget. Have fun with it!

I’m really excited to be sharing this episode today, It’s with Aasiyah Abdulsalam and she’s the founder of a company called The Renatural and the inventor of her first patented product - The Wig Fix. It’s a product that’s used by anyone who wears wigs and it’s been a total game changer for so many women (and men!) around the world. 77,000 to be precise.


Aasiyah talks through her scrappy approach to marketing and finding her first thousand customers, the process to patenting a new product and her experience with raising capital.


Diving into the world of business and entrepreneurship has taught this first-time founder one very important lesson: you have to be shameless in order to succeed. Shamelessly ask, shamelessly promote, and shamelessly challenge the status quo."There's no such thing as a dumb question. You have to be shameless in order to grow." If you've ever been made to feel like you're asking a stupid question, you're probably asking the wrong person. The right partners, business or not, will make space for the seemingly silly questions to be answered with consideration and patience. Because there is no such thing as a silly question. Every question is valid, girl.

It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl. It’s been such joy seeing so many of you joining us in the Facebook group and posting your questions!


Joining us today on the show is Madi Stefanis - the founder of 35mm co. And I love this episode so much! Made started her business after spotting a gap in the market for vintage cameras, she started flipping them online and after selling hundreds of thousands of dollars worth - but after experiencing so much demand and never being able to keep up with the pace, realised she had an opportunity to create her own product that she could scale. It’s a great lesson in finding market fit before going all in.


And while I’ve got you here - a big huge full of love thank you to everyone sharing their Spotify Wrapped with us. I can’t even begin to tell you how grateful I am to see thousands of people with Female Startup Club in the their top 5 or their number 1 listened to podcast for this year. It’s truly mind-blowing and I am so grateful - thank you so much.

Today we’ve got Mayssa Chehata back on the show - she joined us back in May 2021 to talk about her business, Behave Candy and since then Behave has gone through a massive relaunch - Mayssa made the call to pause for what ended up being 12 month while they worked through new packaging, new pricing and new formulations - so interesting to hear about this approach and the impact it’s had on the business.

Hello everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl.


On today’s episode we’re chatting with Laura Katz. Laura is the founder of a company called Helaina. Helaina invented a biomanufacturing platform to recreate the bioactive proteins in human milk and throughout the human body for functional food and supplements. They "teach" yeast to replicate these human proteins using precision fermentation. Isn’t that amazing? God I love modern science and technology! Laura has always been obsessed with food and her career followed that true love and passion into food science. In this episode we talk through Laura’s big lightbulb moment, how she approached raising capital with no network and no experience in her early 20s and how you get a big idea like this through to commercialisation. Because it’s definitely not straightforward. This episode blew my mind and I’d love to know what you think about it so join me in the Facebook group to chat more!

Hello everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl.


Today on the show we’re chatting with Pascale from Grow My Money (previously known as Super Rewards). Did you know that in Australia 1 in 3 single women retire in poverty, and 1 in 6 women overall retire into poverty. That’s a very scary and very real stat. Now there’s multiple factors that play into that statistic but one of them has to do with our superannuation. If you’re listening in from outside of Australia - superannuation is kind of like a 401k in America, or your state pension in the UK. Over the course of your career, your employee puts money into something you can’t touch until you retire - and that money significantly grows over the course of 30+ years so that when you retire, you have a chunk of cash to live off. Simply put. And men retire with almost double the superannuation kitty than women do. And with that in mind Pascale wanted to do something about it. This is a real eye opener and I would love to know what you think about it - come and chat with us in the Facebook group.

Hello everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl.


Today on the show we’re chatting with Pascale from Grow My Money (previously known as Super Rewards). Did you know that in Australia 1 in 3 single women retire in poverty, and 1 in 6 women overall retire into poverty. That’s a very scary and very real stat. Now there’s multiple factors that play into that statistic but one of them has to do with our superannuation. If you’re listening in from outside of Australia - superannuation is kind of like a 401k in America, or your state pension in the UK. Over the course of your career, your employee puts money into something you can’t touch until you retire - and that money significantly grows over the course of 30+ years so that when you retire, you have a chunk of cash to live off. Simply put. And men retire with almost double the superannuation kitty than women do. And with that in mind Pascale wanted to do something about it. This is a real eye opener and I would love to know what you think about it - come and chat with us in the Facebook group.

Hello everyone and welcome back to the show!


It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl. And before we jump in today marks something really bloody exciting for Female Startup Club! As of this week we have joined the Acast podcast network and that means lots of exciting things! Firstly we’re going to start introducing some different kinds of episodes, like strategy breakdowns with industry experts, and how-to’s for earlystage founders and future founders.


It also means you’re going to start hearing a new voice on the show - you’re going to meet my wingwoman and one of the best humans I know, Josephine. If you’ve ever messaged us on Instagram or you’re part of Majic you’ll know just how wonderful Josephine is and she’s gonna be joining me in a new series where we talk through insights, questions and what’s happening in the world of business.


Now something I’m really excited about is the comeback of our Facebook group. It’s linked in our show notes and I want you to jump in there and join us asap! Every Monday I’ll be sharing who I’m interviewing for that week and this is where you can ask specific questions you want me to answered on the show. You can also drop your own questions and challenges and we’ll be shouting those out too. It’s a great chance to get your brand featured on the podcast.


Phew. Ok! That’s all my exciting news for today. Let’s get into the good stuff. Today we’re chatting with Lezlie Karls from Midday Squares. We actually recorded an episode with Lezlie way back in December of 2021 and sooo much has changed in that time. She’s gone through probably the worst time in her business since then and has just come out the other side so there’s plenty of great insights and learnings to take away here. I hope you love this episode just as much as I do - and remember if you have some specific questions you want to ask on our upcoming episodes, come join us in the Facebook group.

It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl. If you’re new around here, hi - welcome! I’m so happy you found us. Every week we’re having conversations with amazing female founders, entrepreneurs and women in business to understand their blueprint when it comes to money, marketing and mistakes. The good stuff. Like Breanna Lane. She’s the co-founder of a company called Glossyboys which she’s bringing to life alongside her 13 year old teenage son, Lucas. I first came across Glossy Boys a couple weeks ago when they were pitching on Shark Tank Australia and was just so moved by their story and what they’re creating in the world. Breanna’s is out there doing this really special thing with her son and having a lot of fun along the way. And I just love how she’s approaching raising her kids - outside the box - while having her full time career while also building this business. It’s really cool.

And as always, if you love this episode - please take a tiny action for me in return. We’ve dubbed this the girl code. When you send an episode to a friend or post a screenshot on IG stories, that stuff actually makes a really big difference to me and what we’re doing and I’m always grateful to everyone who does this already.

Hello and welcome back to the show. It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl. It is a beautiful day here in Sydney, Australia and I’m excited to be bringing this episode to your ears. Eshita Kabra is the founder of a company called By Rotation. It’s essentially app where you can rent stunning clothes, shoes and bags - but the twist being that it’s all community driven. So think Instagram, but where you can rent the clothes straight from your favourite friends, influencers and stylish women. Eshita created this business out of a view to make a positive impact in the world and change the way we consume fast fashion by creating a more sustainable economy around what we wear and buy.

 I got to know Eshita’s business when I was living in London and have the sweetest story that I’m gonna share in the episode which I just love so much and it speaks to the power of how she’s managed to build a really strong sense of community inside this app.

Quick reminder about our November meetup which is gonna be in Australia this time. 

Please do slide into our DMs and let us know if you vote for Sydney or Melbourne.

And obvs shout about the episode or Female Startup Club in general if you learn something or love something or leave this with a smile on your face.

Hello and welcome back to the show. It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl. It is a beautiful day here in Sydney, Australia and I’m excited to be bringing this episode to your ears. Eshita Kabra is the founder of a company called By Rotation. It’s essentially app where you can rent stunning clothes, shoes and bags - but the twist being that it’s all community driven. So think Instagram, but where you can rent the clothes straight from your favourite friends, influencers and stylish women. Eshita created this business out of a view to make a positive impact in the world and change the way we consume fast fashion by creating a more sustainable economy around what we wear and buy.

 I got to know Eshita’s business when I was living in London and have the sweetest story that I’m gonna share in the episode which I just love so much and it speaks to the power of how she’s managed to build a really strong sense of community inside this app.

Quick reminder about our November meetup which is gonna be in Australia this time. 

Please do slide into our DMs and let us know if you vote for Sydney or Melbourne.

And obvs shout about the episode or Female Startup Club in general if you learn something or love something or leave this with a smile on your face.

It’s Doone here your host and hype girl. If you’re new here - we love to understand the insights and playbook behind the brands we love and buy - and if you’re an OG listener. Well, LOVE you. You know what this is all about. Today’s episode is a follow up to our original episode with Rachael from 2021. Which I’m going to link in the show notes incase you wanna circle back for all the early stage story stuff and her blueprint for getting this brand off the ground. I love doing episodes like this because so much has happened in between then and now. Rachael’s since merged with another skincare company, she’s launched TBH skincare into hundreds of Priceline stores around Australia and she’s just got so many good insights when it comes to her approach to marketing. She’s a big believer in grassroots, guerrilla style marketing - which I just absolutely love - it’s so my vibe - and there’s so much gold packed in here. It’s a great episode! There’s a few crazy stories sprinkled in here.


If you love it! Shout about it! Tell a friend. Honour the girl code. Oh! And I’m thinking about our next meetup for November and I’m trying to decide if we do Sydney or Melbourne. Sooo let us know in the DMs where we should host our Aussie catch up next month. I would love to meet you IRL


Let’s get into it.

Welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl. So todays episode is very special, this is the youngest entrepreneur we’ve ever had on the show - by a long shot - and Lily is proof that when you set your mind to something and you follow your dreams and goals - amazing things can happen, no matter how old or young you are.


Lily Harper is an 9 year old entrepreneur and the founder of Lily Lou’s Aromas, and her story starts when she was being emotionally and physically bullied in school. So during the pandemic when schools were shut down students were sent to learn from home, and Lily found a passion in creating beautiful scented products. She started to thrive.


With a hyper-creative mind, Lily is continually coming up with new ideas and has set huge goals for herself and her company. An important foundation of Lily’s personal and business life is that she is involved in every decision, from Lily Lou’s Aromas to how her school day is planned out. This gives Lily the opportunity to learn and acquire knowledge and essential skills, while maintaining the freedom to grow in the direction she chooses.


A strong advocate against bullying, Lily is extremely involved in areas of charity work that holds significant meaning to her.


It was such an honour to get to chat with Lily about what she’s building and how she’s living her life - she’s an inspiration to us all.


Let’s get into today’s episode!

Welcome back to the show! If you’re new here... Hi! I’m Doone, your host and hype girl in business. Every week we learn from 7, 8 and 9 figure female founders to understand their blueprint in business when it comes to money, marketing and mistakes. Women like Jennifer Neville the founder of Live Zen With Jen.


Jen is a former professional golfer turned celebrity astrologer and YouTube psychic. Yep, you heard that right! Jen has found her path helping people find their passion and purpose in life through astrology and spirituality. A true thought leader in the space she mixes a bit of the practical with the magical in order to help people reach their maximum potential. This one is a little different from our usual episodes, but I think you'll absolutely love diving into the how and why of how Jennifer built this business and created her dream life.


In this episode, we're talking through her transition from professional sports to entrepreneurship, we dive into the nitty-gritty of what it means to create a successful YouTube channel these days, and what the business model looks like when you're following a path like this one. We also completed a tarot reading on me, your host and hype girl, as Jen lays my soul bare for everyone to see. This was a first for me so I’m bare with me on it.

Welcome back!! It’s been a hot second. I have MISSED this. Wow. So today after 7 weeks of not recording I’m jumping back on the show with a friend of mine, Alexandra Fine, the founder of Dame - she makes cool vibrators and is leading the charge when it comes to women and pleasure. We actually recorded an episode a few years ago which is such a vibe and you should definitely go back to hear her startup story but today we talk a lot about what it’s been like having her second baby and managing all the things, launching into 300+ target stores, what it’s like managing a co-founder relationship break down and at the veryyyy end she shares a funny story about her grandma’s best friends getting in on the vibe action. Loved this episode.


And while I’ve got you here - quick refresher on the girl code! If you listen to an episode and you smile and get value from it - take a tiny action for me. Tell a friend, share it on Insta. Subscribe. Eave a review. All these things matter and it’s the girl code!


I’m so happy to be back recording and I hope you love Al’s update in Business. Let’s jump in, this is Alex Fine for Female Startup Club.

Welcome back to the show, it’s Doone here -your host and hype girl of the Female Startup Club podcast! Holy Moly it’s been a hot second since we launched new episodes on account of the holiday season so we’re now officially back in action with our regular programming and I’m so excited about it! Today we’re learning from Priscilla Hajiantoni who is the founder of the cult beauty brand in Australia Bangn Body - chances are you’ve probably spotted the famous yellow tube in your feeds at one point or another.


Priscilla started her brand after going through her own painful journey with acne and feeling desperate for a solution that didn’t seem to exist - she decided to take her house deposit and go all in on building this business - and in 2 years grew it from just 32 sales on launch day to $8m in revenue. In this episode we’re diving into her blueprint with a specific spotlight on how she got herself stocked in Mecca and the advice she has for other beauty founders tuning in who want to see their brand on the shelves of Mecca too.


One quick thing before we get into it - if you’ve been hearing about our new tool for founders and future founders, Majic, now’s the time to join! We’ve packed it out with video masterclasses and workshops with some of the amazing guests you hear on the show.

Welcome back to the show - if you’re new here! Hi! I’m Doone, your host and hype girl in business. Every week we learn from 7,8 & 9-figure female founders to understand their blueprint in business when it comes to money, marketing, and mistakes. Women like Hannah Drury the founder of Peppermint Grove Australia and Moss St Fragrances. Hannah started this business in 2014 with an investment of $50,000 and now she’s selling more than 100,000 products every month. Today we’re digging into Hannah’s story of building this brand over the last 10 years; what she did when her 100% retail model in business went to zero overnight when the pandemic hit and how she diversified her business by becoming her own manufacturer and perfumer.


Hannah also dives into her wholesale strategy in the early days and how she managed to secure her brand in 110 retail stores within the first 6 months of starting her business - as a one-woman show! I love her approach to pounding the pavement and owning her backyard which saw the brand incrementally grow across retail stores at an incredible rate. And the best bit? It was totally free!


And while I’ve got you here; you might have noticed that I’ve been talking more and more about our newsletter. And that’s because we’ve been crafting it to be an absolute go-to resource that delivers you weekly insights, resources, and extra content to keep you in the loop on all things women in business. Like industry news you know should know about, quick lessons and strategies you can use today, up-to-date grants, and special opportunities we’re offering to our newsletter subscribers aka more features and spotlights on YOU. It’s free to sign up at femalestartupclub.com and I would LOVE to see you there.

Welcome back to the show - if you’re new here! Hi! I’m Doone, your host and hype girl in business. Every week we learn from 7, 8 and 9 figure female founders to understand their blueprint in business when it comes to money, marketing and mistakes. Women like Kaylin Marcotte the founder of Jiggy Puzzles. And if you’ve been around FSC since the very early days circa beginning of 2020 you might remember our first interview together. It’s number 10 if you want to go back and listen to Kaylin’s story at the very beginning of her journey only a few months into building Jiggy (and also the very beginning of my journey with building Female Startup Club!) Today we’re getting up to speed on what’s happened in her world since then and we deep dive into the power of her business model when it comes to collaborations with female artists, strategic partnerships with corporate clients and how she managed to get on Oprah’s list of favourite things.


And while I’ve got you here; if you’re a founder yourself or you’re just getting started with putting together your ideas to launch a business slash side hustle; something I’ve come across that’s a problem for every founder at every stage is capital. Every entrepreneur or future founder I speak to - myself included - struggles with the money piece. We all need more money. So we’ve put together a comprehensive list of every grants and accelerator thats live right now - and we’re keeping it updated weekly. There’s some really good ones that are closing in a weeks time you should jump onto. To access the doc for free go to femalestartupclub.com/grants to get your copy.


Ok let’s jump into today’s episode, this is Kaylin for Female Startup Club.

Women like Kaylin Marcotte the founder of Jiggy Puzzles. And if you’ve been around FSC since the very early days circa beginning of 2020 you might remember our first interview together. It’s number 10 if you want to go back and listen to Kaylin’s story at the very beginning of her journey only a few months into building Jiggy (and also the very beginning of my journey with building Female Startup Club!) Today we’re getting up to speed on what’s happened in her world since then and we deep dive into the power of her business model when it comes to collaborations with female artists, strategic partnerships with corporate clients and how she managed to get on Oprah’s list of favourite things.


And while I’ve got you here; if you’re a founder yourself or you’re just getting started with putting together your ideas to launch a business slash side hustle; something I’ve come across that’s a problem for every founder at every stage is capital. Every entrepreneur or future founder I speak to - myself included - struggles with the money piece. We all need more money. So we’ve put together a comprehensive list of every grants and accelerator thats live right now - and we’re keeping it updated weekly. There’s some really good ones that are closing in a weeks time you should jump onto. To access the doc for free go to femalestartupclub.com/grants to get your copy.


Ok let’s jump into today’s episode, this is Kaylin for Female Startup Club.

If you’re new here! Hi! I’m Doone, your host and Hype girl in business. Every week we learn from 7, 8, and 9-figure female founders to understand their blueprint in business when it comes to money, marketing and mistakes. Women like Desiree Verdejo, the founder of Hyper. After leaving her career as an attorney, Desiree left the 9-5 to create the Sephora for Black Women which eventually led her to creating Hyper. We’re chatting through a bunch of insightful learnings from this business; like the power of PR and how to use grants to access capital…


Desiree's key piece of advice when it comes to the funding piece of the business is to be really thoughtful about when you fundraise, how you fundraise, and why you're doing it. There are so many different types of capital available right now and each will have entirely different consequences for you and your business.


And on that note! Remember that you can access our doc for every grant that’s currently live around the world for female founders. You can get the list at femalestartupclub.com/grants.

Hi, it’s Doone here - your host and hype girl - if you’re new here: welcome to the Female Startup Club podcast - where we interview some of the world’s most successful founders in business. We chat with entrepreneurs - who happen to be women - about all things money, marketing and mistakes - and dive deep into the blueprint that got them to where they are today.


Today we’re chatting with Erin Deering who is the founder of a cult swimwear brand you probably recognise, called Triangl. It’s one of those stories that has so many highs - it gained instant cult status within it’s first year of business, it was all over our feeds, it grew to a $200m valuation and from the outside - everything looked amazing. But on the flip side, Erin wasn’t living her best life and she was struggling. In this episode she shares the story of her highs but also of the lows and what it took to exit the business and follow her instincts. It’s rare to hear founders go so deep into the lows and this is one of those episodes we can all learn a lot from so I hope you love it as much as I did.


I particularly love diving into Erin's approach to influencer marketing right back in the early days of building Triangl, all with gifting making up the entirety of their marketing budget. The idea is that your product is still the hero, but this marketing strategy put trust into your new brand. That's the key point there, build trust. When you apply that logic with your marketing strategy, building trust with them instead of getting sales, it will shift who you target and who you reach out to. That logic is still applicable in 2023. 


And if you want even more content from us, we send out an email every Monday that features strategies you can implement into your business, job opportunities at female founded startups, all the best news about women-led startups and women in business as well as new grants and other fun stuff that’s worth knowing. It’s totally free and you can subscribe at femalestartupclub.com.

]]> This is Jaclyn Johnson for Female Startup Club.


On the show today we are learning from Jaclyn Johnson who you might recognise as the founder of Create & Cultivate but is here to talk about her latest venture; New Money Ventures in addition to her first incubated brand; Maie Wines.


New Money Ventures is a venture capital fund with a mission to launch, build and scale early-stage, women-led startups. And this is so interesting because she steps us through how she invests in different founders, what the red flags are when founders are trying to raise VC money, the industries that are piping hot right now, how her fund works and a few tips to get you better at pitching your biz! There are so many gems in here, if you’ve got plans to raise this is a MUST LISTEN.


If you learn something in this episode please do share it with someone who will benefit from hearing Jaclyn’s advice or shout about it on social media - we love It when you do that!


Let’s dive right in, this is Jaclyn for Female Startup Club

On today’s episode we’re learning from Babba Rivera, the Latina founder behind Ceremonia, which is a clean hair care brand rooted in her heritage, inspired by the rituals she grew up with. And we’re talking through all the things! From Babba’s upbringing in a small tiny part of Sweden to big shiny startup life in New York City and the drive she got from her childhood and heritage to start this brand and have representation in the Latinax community for the next generation of founders. And Babba also shares some crazy stories like how she launched her brand from the nicu - and what can go terribly terribly wrong if you don’t have the right accountant. And trust me - that is not one to skip over it’s right at the very end of the show.

It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl. Today we’re learning from Daniella Pierson, the 27 year old Latina co-founder of Wondermind.


Daniella started her first company, The Newsette, as a sophomore in college, and despite not having any VC funding, seven years later The Newsette closed 2021 with $40M in sales and 8-figures of profit with a valuation of over $200 million. But that’s not all… she’s also the founder of the newly launched mental fitness startup Wondermind, that she launched with her co-founders Selena Gomez and Mandy Teefey after a powerful conversation around their mental health struggles. She is the World’s Youngest Wealthiest Self-Made BIPOC Woman.


This is seriously seriously an incredible episode. Daniella is very open about having ADHD, OCD, and Depression, and is passionate about showing the world that you can achieve success at any age, even without millions of VC dollars, while struggling with learning disabilities and mental health disorders.


You are going to love this really down to earth chat about building a startup and the high highs that come with the lowest of the lows. If you love this episode please do share it with someone that would benefit from hearing Daniella’s truly inspiring story.

What I love about this episode is Ellen’s ability to see when things aren’t serving her and take big leaps to move in new directions. As entrepreneurs we’re always evolving and it really is a process of iteration so I really resonated with this episode and I think you’ll get a lot out of it. You’re going to hear her transition from the corporate grind to agency to course creator to media company! Packed with tips and insights that will give you inspiration wherever you are in the journey.


I love the part of this episode where we dive into the future of media. All these traditional media companies are not necessarily going to disappear ofcourse, but the way consumers engage with the media will change. People these days would rather receive news and updates from a trusted voice and personality than they would tuning into their nightly news. Understand how are creators influence the media space and how are creators the future of the media space.

Today we’re learning from Geo Moriarty who is one of the co-founders behind my absolute GO-TO favourite fashion label CinCin. If you can imagine the vibe of FSC but in fashion label form, I mean this is it. It’s bold. It’s bright. It’s super cool. It’s giving maximalist OTT everything - and all the things I love. Right down to their hot pink couch in their retail store.


Geo and I go back circa 15 years and watching her build this business from the ground up into a multi 7 figure empire has been nothing short of bloody amazing to say the least. And if you’re in fashion I think you’re gonna love this episode. Seriously. We’re talking through the manufacturing and printing piece, even down to the nitty gritty of why you should or should not use silk. Lol. We talk about how to fund a fashion business and why it’s so tricky. We talk about retail, we talk about wholesale, the marketing piece. There’s literally so much gold packed into this episode. You are gonna love it!

]]> This is Geo Moriarty for Female Startup Club


Today we’re learning from Geo Moriarty who is one of the co-founders behind my absolute GO-TO favourite fashion label CinCin. If you can imagine the vibe of FSC but in fashion label form, I mean this is it. It’s bold. It’s bright. It’s super cool. It’s giving maximalist OTT everything - and all the things I love. Right down to their hot pink couch in their retail store.


Geo and I go back circa 15 years and watching her build this business from the ground up into a multi 7 figure empire has been nothing short of bloody amazing to say the least. And if you’re in fashion I think you’re gonna love this episode. Seriously. We’re talking through the manufacturing and printing piece, even down to the nitty gritty of why you should or should not use silk. Lol. We talk about how to fund a fashion business and why it’s so tricky. We talk about retail, we talk about wholesale, the marketing piece. There’s literally so much gold packed into this episode. You are gonna love it!


Let’s get into it, this is Geo for Female Startup Club

Part 3: Ami Bateman Breaks Down Her Exact Marketing Spend $$$ on the Pleasant State Equity Crowdfund (and her thoughts in hindsight!) Mon, 24 Jul 2023 11:12:00 GMT 1:03:56 b35d68a0-2977-11ee-aeda-b3a0fb3c05e8 true https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e019f 653afa30238f6100125e019f 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 552 Hey guys, it’s Doone here - your host and hype girl! 


By the time you hear this episode, I’ll be somewhere back in Europe and the UK spending time with friends and family and doing all our favorite things on this side of the world. But today, you’re going to be hearing from Ami Bateman again. You might remember that we’ve had her on the show twice recently to talk and do a deep dive into her Equity crowdfunding campaign - which I can proudly say I invested in. I’d highly recommend going back to part 1 and part 2 if you‘re not caught up on those episodes yet because they really do sit in chronological order. This episode is absolutely brilliant I just love Ami so much for her candid insights and really breaking down everything from the line item marketing spend to make a campaign like this successful. And if you love this series, let me know! I’m curious if I should do more of these multi-part series to get into the nitty-gritty of how something works.


Something we’ve demonstrated through these three sessions is that this is a very big undertaking, but it’s a super rewarding one. This ability to allow your community and customers to own part of your company has got to be a really big part of your philosophy. Start with why you're doing this: your purpose and intent that’s really ethical. For Ami, this crowdfunding has led to the opportunity to help women build wealth, rather than just lining the pockets of a very few whose values aren’t aligned. Obviously, I love that.


Remember the girl code! Share the love.

Hello and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - hi! Love this for you. And me. Every week we’re learning from some of the world’s most brilliant minds in business. Like the co-founder of Wrapd, Julie Stevanja (formerly known as Her Black Book). Julie and her twin sister Sali have been building businesses for women since 2012 back when they first launched Stylerunner and now they’re back at it again taking the lessons they learned with that business to build Wrapd. It’s a premium app for shoppers to discover deals and brands.


We chat about Julie Stevanja sharing her ultimate tech playbook for launching into the wild, wild west of the world of apps - and there is some serious gold in here for both techy and CPG founders. Remember, this journey should be fun too! Embrace your voice and be bold with it. Launching a successful app is an entrepreneurial journey filled with ups and downs, but with the right attitude and a little help from your friends (slash tech co-founders), your launch will be a sparkling success.


In this episode we’re talking through the learnings from Stylerunner and the difference between building a brand that’s e-commerce focused vs a tech company, and how that fits into the world of VC as well as a bunch of interesting gems when it comes to the playbook of launching an app.


A quick note on housekeeping. If you love this episode please take a tiny action and share this episode with a friend, post it on social media, or leave us a review - and if you want to feature on the show send us a voicemail on Instagram DMs with your question or topic - I’m loving the ones we’ve had come through already!

Hey! Welcome back to the Female Startup Club podcast.


I just wanted to drop in here and give you a heads up that today’s episode is a little different, and for the first time ever, you’ll be hearing a guy on the show. This is actually an episode I did a couple of weeks back on the My Millenial Podcast with Glen James and I had SO much fun in this episode that I really wanted to share it with you. 


We go into detail about my story and a bit about my background, what I’m really excited about at the moment, and talking about startups and investment in general. If you love this episode, please let me know! I’m thinking that maybe I might do more of these. So let me know, and slide into my DM’s. I hop you enjoy it. 


Before we jump into this - I’d love for you to be involved in my new solo episodes. All you need to do is send through a voicenote in the DMS either to female startup club on IG (or my personal account). It can be a specific question you have about business or life or a personal question, something you want to know or learn more about. We’re keeping it broad so we can mix it up! It’s part of a new content series where we will play your recording (so whatever you send in the recording will play on the show) and chat through that topic or question. And I’m so excited for this! See you in the DMs.


Ok, now let’s jump into today’s episode!

Hello and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - hi! I’m so happy you found us. Every week we’re learning from some of the world’s most brilliant minds in business. Like the co-founder of Form Nutrition, a B Corp-certified plant-based nutrition company, created from the simple belief that we become the greatest version of ourselves while making a positive impact in the lives of others. Launched in 2017 in the United Kingdom, Form Nutrition was born when Co-Founders Natalia Bojanic and Damian Soong started rethinking their habits and the effects diet has on health and the climate. Form’s 100% plant-based protein powders and responsibly-sourced nootropics are backed by science and were designed with optimal performance in mind. From performance and muscle growth to improving sleep and cognitive support, Form’s unique suite of plant-based products are impact-driven to support overall health and wellness and empower individuals to meet their unique goals.


We’re talking through so many different things today like the practice of building a meditation habit with a very practical tip to getting started if you’re someone like me who is so on again and off again with meditation. Something else I reallyy love about this episode is when we touch on when to quit and why that shouldn’t be seen as a failure. I do this constantly in my life and it’s such a powerful way to move towards your strengths and superpowers, and away from the things that drain you. And finally, we talk through some simple marketing strategies and mindsets that everyone could implement into their business tomorrow.


Before we jump in a quick reminder on the girl code - you know we love it! And we’re still doing a call out for our loyal listeners to be involved in our new content series where you DM me a voice note or a question about anything across business, life, or relationships to feature on the show! We’re going to batch record a bunch of the best ones we get in - and we’ve had some real crackers so far - just voice note us a DM on Female Startup Cub’s Instagram and you’ll be featured on the show in the coming weeks.

Hello and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - hi! I’m so happy you found us. Every week we’re learning from some of the world’s most brilliant minds in business. Like the co-founder of Kic - which you might have previously known as Keep It Cleaner, which was founded by Laura Henshaw and Steph Claire Smith (now Miller).


Today we’re chatting with Laura who is the CEO of the Kic App and we’re really diving into her mission to help others embrace self-acceptance and make sustainable changes towards a healthier, happier lifestyle. The KIC app is like your best friend in health and wellness, literally in your pocket. It helps you with easy yummy soul-nourishing food recipes and workout programs you can literally do from home.


I really loved this episode because Laura talks us through her journey from turning her experience in a toxic industry into a life-changing, high-impact company that helps women positively every single day. We talk through how she manages running a business as the CEO with her life outside of work - a battle we all seem to face, the real costs of developing an app, and her tips for getting started if you have an idea.


Before we jump in a quick reminder on the girl code - if you get something out of this episode please share it, review us, or send us to a friend - it all seriously helps and the compound effect is huge. You know I love the compound effect. And I have been feeling so loved after reading all the beautiful reviews you’ve been leaving on the show. Oh! And we’re still doing a call out for our loyal listeners to be involved in our new content series where you DM me a voice note or a question about anything across business, life, or relationships to feature on the show! We’re going to batch record a bunch of the best ones we get in - and we’ve had some real crackers so far - just voice note us a DM on Female Startup Cub’s Instagram and you’ll be featured on the show in the coming weeks.

Hi everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - welcome welcome welcome. Thank you for tuning into my mini solo episode this week, where we chat all about the things I’m doing right now for my mental health.


Before we jump into this - I’d love for you to be involved in my new solo episodes. All you need to do is send through a voicenote in the DMS either to female startup club on IG (or my personal account). It can be a specific question you have about business or life or a personal question, something you want to know or learn more about. We’re keeping it broad so we can mix it up! It’s part of a new content series where we will play your recording (so whatever you send in the recording will play on the show) and chat through that topic or question. And I’m so excited for this! See you in the DMs.


Let’s get into the episode. Chatting to Wonderwind co-founder Daniella Pierson on the show at the end of last year reminded me just how much of a shared experience this all really is. And why it’s important to talk about it so we feel less alone. If you didn’t hear her episode, def go back and listen to it - Wondermind is a mental fitness startup that Daniella launched with her co-founders Selena Gomez and Mandy Teefey after a powerful conversation around their mental health struggles. And my conversation with her was really powerful. Daniella shared deeply about having ADHD, OCD, and Depression, and her vulnerability really lit a spark in me.


When you read through Wondermind content, it points out that self-care refers to the things we turn to when we’re in desperate need of a mental health pick-me-up. The thing is, relying on it to put out fires after they’ve already started is not the best way to stay on top of life’s stresses. Self-care can and should be a tool you use to set yourself up for success every single day, not just an emergency switch you pull during crisis mode. And because I’ve been going through the motions of getting my mental health in a place of priority, this might be just the right time to talk about the things that I’m doing for my mental health in the hopes that if you’re experiencing any of these feelings, it helps you too. 


Today I’m sharing 5 of the things that I’m doing right now to give my mind that little pick-me-up. And remember, maybe you’re in a really great place right now - and that’s a great place to be making sure you’re building habits that support your mental health ongoing. There’s no time like the present when it comes to getting up close and personal with mental health tools. You’ll thank yourself later.


Ok, now let’s jump into today’s episode!

Hi everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - welcome welcome welcome. Every week we’re learning from some of the world’s most brilliant minds in business. Like Jane Lu, the founder of Showpo. Jane’s story is so inspiring and full of ups and downs and what really stood out to me was her sheer determination to succeed and the absolute resilience to keep going no matter what because failure just wasn’t an option. I came off this episode feeling so inspired and I know you will too. Jane is the queen of building a business while having some serious fun along the way and she shares so many gems to building her biz to $100m in revenue in this episode! Stick around to the end where she shares some of her crazy stories!


A great piece of advice in this episode came down to putting in place systems and processes that will mean that you can then start hiring people to work in the business, so you can start working on the business; it’s the first step. It’s so hard for an entrepreneur because you’re so busy doing it that you don’t want to slow down and think about systems, but you’ve got to think about the bigger picture. Build that foundation. From there on, you can start hiring for your weaknesses. Hiring people to work on the business, people to bounce ideas off. Understanding what you don’t like and what your blind spots are. A bit of outsourcing but also in-housing.

]]> This is Jane Lu for Female Startup Club


Hi everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - welcome welcome welcome. Every week we’re learning from some of the world’s most brilliant minds in business. Like Jane Lu, the founder of Showpo. Jane’s story is so inspiring and full of ups and downs and what really stood out to me was her sheer determination to succeed and the absolute resilience to keep going no matter what because failure just wasn’t an option. I came off this episode feeling so inspired and I know you will too. Jane is the queen of building a business while having some serious fun along the way and she shares so many gems to building her biz to $100m in revenue in this episode! Stick around to the end where she shares some of her crazy stories!


A great piece of advice in this episode came down to putting in place systems and processes that will mean that you can then start hiring people to work in the business, so you can start working on the business; it’s the first step. It’s so hard for an entrepreneur because you’re so busy doing it that you don’t want to slow down and think about systems, but you’ve got to think about the bigger picture. Build that foundation. From there on, you can start hiring for your weaknesses. Hiring people to work on the business, people to bounce ideas off. Understanding what you don’t like and what your blind spots are. A bit of outsourcing but also in-housing.

It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - welcome welcome welcome. Every week we’re learning from some of the world’s most brilliant minds in business. Like the founder of Ritual, a leading personal health company in the US founded by Kat Schneider. Since launching her supplements biz Kat has gone from working in the VC world to building a business that brings a new level of transparency to the health and wellness industry. While pregnant and in search of a prenatal she could trust, Kat took matters into her own hands and pioneered a new standard of high-quality multivitamins and supplements that are backed by science and Made Traceably. Now it’s one of the most trusted brands in the category and has more than a million customers. LOVE this episode. So many insights.


Lately, I’ve been talking a lot with other founders about the big difference between what VCs are actually investing in and what women are building. There’s a real disconnect there and a serious need to bridge that gap. And it can feel overwhelming when the stats aren’t changing. So it was refreshing to chat with someone who had a more positive outlook. A female founder who has gone from the behind-the-scenes of the VC world to building her own brand - Ritual - and going on to raise $60M+ in funding. Kat has seen the problem first-hand. She sees women having great ideas, but the funding just not being there. She sees the funding opportunities to change lives go to waste. But she also sees change. She sees many more women investing in women. She sees the unlock of a female-focused economy. And she sees three-quarters of her board consisting of strong, powerful women. We’re on the right track. If you decide to embark on the exciting adventure of raising VC capital, this episode is for you. Embrace the commitment, and nurture those relationships and trust. Those are the two things that are always going to get people over the line.

Hi everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - we are SO grateful and happy to have you here. Every week we’re learning from some of the world’s most brilliant minds in business. Like the founder of NAT’V Basics, Sandy Ronalds. Sandy launched her biz in 2019 and in the last year alone sold 600,000 units from a few simple strategies. This story speaks to the power of spotting a clear gap in the market, proving out the concept, and going for it.


In this episode, Sandy shares her blueprint for making your business make business sense. In the dreaming phase, determine your why and know what your purpose is going to be for the brand through building brand pillars (these pillars have nothing to do with the end product but are about why you are joining us rather than another brand). In the building phase, consistently communicate the dreaming phase; it’s one thing knowing something yourself, and it’s another when it clearly comes across (pumping socials with the why’s and the purpose of the brand so you attract those who naturally align with your brand). In the day-to-day, Sandy still runs the nat’v basics IG intimately; she gets to know you and you get to know the real essence of the brand. It's key to remember here that your why doesn't have to be grandiose. It can be as simple as brightening someone's day, making them feel confident, or offering a sustainable solution.


Before we jump into today’s episode I want to quickly mention the Girl Code that we introduced a few episodes back! The gist is that it’s a very loose and casual deal where if you love what we’re doing over here and we bring you some value or a smile or a gem of insight, you take a tiny action every time you listen to one of our episodes. Whether that’s by leaving us a review, or sharing this episode on social media - basically anything that helps us reach more ears and keep growing. It’s a weird time right now and I’m in need of my hype girls. And to everyone who already does this - I appreciate you more than you know.

In the day-to-day, Sandy still runs the nat’v basics IG intimately; she gets to know you and you get to know the real essence of the brand. It's key to remember here that your why doesn't have to be grandiose. It can be as simple as brightening someone's day, making them feel confident, or offering a sustainable solution.


Before we jump into today’s episode I want to quickly mention the Girl Code that we introduced a few episodes back! The gist is that it’s a very loose and casual deal where if you love what we’re doing over here and we bring you some value or a smile or a gem of insight, you take a tiny action every time you listen to one of our episodes. Whether that’s by leaving us a review, or sharing this episode on social media - basically anything that helps us reach more ears and keep growing. It’s a weird time right now and I’m in need of my hype girls. And to everyone who already does this - I appreciate you more than you know.

Let’s get into today’s episode, this is Sandy for Female Startup Club.

Hi everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’re a small business owner or an entrepreneur listening to this episode - we have an amazing entrepreneur joining us, Dr. Clara Hurst, who’s coming on to share the founding story of The Secret Skincare. We’re covering how she accidentally stumbled across a huge opportunity in the Australian market, why it’s rapidly growing across the country and Internationally, and some great insight into why they’ve had such success - and we’ve also got some real gems sprinkled in about like R&D tax credits and grants, and a tip on how to make sure you’ve got the best product on the market.


I love the part of this episode where Clare shares the tip: when you're in the process of building your dream business, find the closest thing to what you want and make it even better. Brilliant, right? Think about it for a moment. The world is full of amazing ideas but that doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement or a fresh twist. That’s where you come in. You have the power to take existing concepts and make them shine.


Let me break it down for you. You have this fantastic vision of a product or service that would revolutionize the market. You're bursting with excitement, but you might also feel a little overwhelmed. Where do you even begin? That’s where this gem comes in. At the beginning of every product launch Clara’s team digs deep into their shopping habits and collates ALL of the products that they love to chat about why they love the product, what sets this product apart & what they can do to improve it. They create a dream list of everything they love and then they make something better. By building upon an existing foundation, you're already entering a space where there's demand, and you can focus on delivering it in a way that resonates with your audience. Simple & genius, simply genius.


I’m just quickly going to mention the Girl code! If you missed it in our last few episodes I’m bringing in a very casual code that if you love our episodes and you learn something or you feel inspired or you get a smile across your face from hearing these stories, you take a tiny action that helps us in return. Something as small as a podcast review, a share on social media, or sending the episode to a friend. All these tiny actions are so critical to indie podcasters like me because it’s bloody tough out here and I need my hype girls to keep the wheels moving. To everyone who already does this - I see you and appreciate you more than you could possibly know.

Hi everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - we are SO grateful and happy to have you here. Every week on the Female Startup Club podcast I interview some of the world’s most successful founders and women in business to understand their blueprint to success. And today you’re going to meet the founder of Drizzle honey, Aja Horsley. Drizzle started 5 years ago when Aja was working as an environmental scientist on an urban beekeeping project. She quickly realized there was a major issue in the honey industry. Not only with a lack of really quality honey, but bees were dying and beekeepers were unable to keep their businesses afloat.


Aja decided to start Drizzle to address all of these concerns and more. But of course all good stories have a plot twist, and Aja’s was pretty major. We talk through the forced pivot, how she landed a partnership with Queer Eye’s Tan Frances and why it took 5 years to nail down the path to proven playbook.


Before we jump into today’s episode I want to introduce something called the Girl Code! Which is what I’m dubbing the equivalent to a gentleman’s handshake. And the easiest way to explain a gentleman’s handshake - as we will now reference as the Girl Code; is that it’s like an informal handshake deal, unwritten but backed with integrity. If you’re listening to the show and you’re a fan of what I’m building at Female Startup Club, I’d love for you to take an action for me. Now of course, I won’t know whether you’ve done it or not - that’s the nature of the Girl Code - but it will make a huge difference to me and my team at Female Startup Club. Now an action could be, leaving the podcast a review, or sharing some of our content on Instagram or generally just helping to spread the word to your friends and colleagues. In all honesty, this year has been a bit tricky for us - we’re feeling the pinch of our usual partners and sponsors not having the same budgets they did these past few years and it means that as a small bootstrapped business, for our community to help take tiny actions that all add up In the future - is a big support. So I guess what I’m really asking is for you to be my hype girl, because I really need it at the moment. I want to keep bringing Female Startup Club to life - keep bringing you these episodes and to do that, I need hype girls that understand the Girl Code.


Alrighty! Let’s get into today’s episode, this is Aja for Female Startup Club.

So I guess what I’m really asking is for you to be my hype girl, because I really need it at the moment. I want to keep bringing Female Startup Club to life - keep bringing you these episodes and to do that, I need hype girls that understand the Girl Code.


Alrighty! Let’s get into today’s episode, this is Aja for Female Startup Club.

Hi everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - we are SO grateful and happy to have you here. Every week w’re learning from some of the world’s most brilliant minds in business. Like Jenny Goodman, the co-founder of Tilit NYC, the fashion forward workwear brand for the culinary and hospitality industry.


In this episode we’re chatting through the last decade of learnings, why this brand has become a cult favourite in its industry and plenty of gems you can take into your own business.


But before we jump into today’s episode I want to quickly mention the Girl Code that we introduced in our last episode! The general gist is that it’s a very loose and casual deal where if you love Female Startup Club and what we’re doing over here, you take a tiny action every time you listen to one of our episodes. Whether that’s by leaving us a review, or sharing this episode on social media - basically anything that helps us reach more ears and keep growing. It’s a weird time right now and I’m in need of my hype girls. And to everyone who already does this - I appreciate you more than you know.

Hi everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’re a small business owner or an entrepreneur listening to this episode - you probably know how hard it can be to generate revenue - it's bloody tough! you might have just started and made a few sales… you might have made a few thousand dollars in sales or maybe even a few hundred thousand - hell maybe you’ve made multi 7 figures in sales! Now imagine scaling your business to hitting $200 million in revenue. Imagine what that would look like from a supply chain point of view, a product development pov, the investment point of view.


That’s what Kristel de Groote did - all while she was in her 20’s. I know. Wild. Today’s episode is a reminder that when you stick it out for the long run, when you have a real purpose and drive to change the world - magical things can happen. Kristel built her company, Your Super, alongside her partner Michael in their early 20s after Michael battled cancer. They built it to $200m in revenue and then sold it to the Healing Company in 2022 for an undisclosed amount. This story starts with humble beginnings and it ends with so many brilliant learnings, I hope you love it as much as I do!


I particularly love the part of this episode where we talk about the bottleneck in your business. Your flailing SEO strategy? The manufacturer that just won’t get back to you in time? Problems with shipping delays? Practical complications can cause a headache, but when we get to the crux of it it’s you as a founder who determines the real cap. You are the bottleneck of your business. Some of the greatest growth that you will see happen in your company comes at times when you work on your personal growth. And by personal growth, I don’t mean having all the answers. It’s knowing that not knowing is your superpower. It’s knowing that you don’t need to know step 100 when you’re at step 1. It’s wholeheartedly finding peace with yourself when you are: on a seat at the table that you have built yourself.


And before we jump into today’s episode I want to quickly mention the Girl Code that we introduced in our recent episodes! The general gist is that it’s a very loose and casual deal where if you love Female Startup Club and what we’re doing over here, you take a tiny action every time you listen to one of our episodes. Whether that’s by leaving us a review, or sharing this episode on social media - basically anything that helps us reach more ears and keep growing.

Hi everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - we are SO grateful and happy to have you here. Every week on the Female Startup Club podcast I interview some of the world’s most successful founders and women in business to understand their blueprint to success. And today you’re going to meet fellow Aussie, Ami Bateman. Ami is the co-founder of Australia’s first just-add-water non toxic cleaning company Pleasant State. And this is the first in a mini series where we take you through Ami’s journey in starting Pleasant State right through to their just launched equity crowdfunding campaign. And it is SO interesting! We’re talking about the challenges that we still face as women entering the fundraising scene and what she’s learned trying to access more capital to scale their booming business. If you’ve ever thought about an equity crowdfunding campaign for your business - this is worth grabbing your notepad.


And just one last thing before we get into this episode and while I have you here. I just want to give you some hype girl energy to get out there and start posting on TikTok today. A few weeks ago I shared something completely left of field to my usual content online - very personal - kind of gross - and it has just exploded online! I’m talking millions of views, thousands of followers, hundreds of new subscribers - press and syndication on other platforms - and it really just reminded me that the power of TikTok is still just so insane and so here for everyone to access. It’s free to use. It’s just a time investment. And it’s worth it. So go check out the video and then DM me if you want to learn more about TikTok! I’m thinking about putting together some TikTok assets to help kickstart your journey.

]]> This is Ami Bateman for Female Startup Club


Hi everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - we are SO grateful and happy to have you here. Every week on the Female Startup Club podcast I interview some of the world’s most successful founders and women in business to understand their blueprint to success. And today you’re going to meet fellow Aussie, Ami Bateman. Ami is the co-founder of Australia’s first just-add-water non toxic cleaning company Pleasant State. And this is the first in a mini series where we take you through Ami’s journey in starting Pleasant State right through to their just launched equity crowdfunding campaign. And it is SO interesting! We’re talking about the challenges that we still face as women entering the fundraising scene and what she’s learned trying to access more capital to scale their booming business. If you’ve ever thought about an equity crowdfunding campaign for your business - this is worth grabbing your notepad.


And just one last thing before we get into this episode and while I have you here. I just want to give you some hype girl energy to get out there and start posting on TikTok today. A few weeks ago I shared something completely left of field to my usual content online - very personal - kind of gross - and it has just exploded online! I’m talking millions of views, thousands of followers, hundreds of new subscribers - press and syndication on other platforms - and it really just reminded me that the power of TikTok is still just so insane and so here for everyone to access. It’s free to use. It’s just a time investment. And it’s worth it. So go check out the video and then DM me if you want to learn more about TikTok! I’m thinking about putting together some TikTok assets to help kickstart your journey.

Hi everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! I’m coming to your ears from Sydney Australia and it is a beautiful sunny day over here. If you’ve just found us - we are SO grateful and happy to have you here. Every week on the Female Startup Club podcast I interview some of the world’s most successful founders and women in business to understand their blueprint to success. And today you’re going to meet someone very very special. Ju Rhyu. She’s the founder of a company called Hero Cosmetics.


Now we had Ju on the show back in 2020 - pandemic - when I was London based - feels like a lifetime apart from today - to share her journey in starting the business - and if you didn’t hear that episode I highly recommend you go back and listen to it because Ju took a very interesting path to launching Hero and it’s well worth a listen, with so many interesting gems and mini tactics we can all take note of. But today we’re digging into something VERY different and exciting and crazy. It’s her path to acquisition. We often hear on the show from entrepreneurs who have raised millions of dollars and are in the middle of the journey but last year in 2022 Ju sold her business, for $630 million dollars. That is more than half a billion dollars. Wow. And it’s rare that we get to learn from someone who’s actually pulled this off at this scale. This conversation is so insightful and as always Ju shares it all. So buckle up - because we’re in for a real treat today.


And just one last thing before we get into this episode and while I have you here. I just want to give you some hype girl energy to get out there and start posting on TikTok today. Last week I shared something completely left of field to my usual content online - very personal - very gross - and it has just exploded online!

It’s free to use. It’s just a time investment. And it’s worth it. So go check out the video and then DM me if you wanna chat about your Tiktok strategy! Because I’m thinking about doing some solo episodes where I break down some key strategies and answer some questions.

Hello and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl sliding into your ears with a new episode on the Female Startup Club podcast. If you’re new here, hi! Welcome! Every week we interview some of the world’s most exciting and successful founders and entrepreneurs - who happen to be women. Like Jess Hatzis-Walker. One of the co-founders behind the iconic skincare brand, Frank Bod. Frank Bod started a decade ago back in 2013 and through their strong original branding and an innovative approach to marketing grew it from $0-$100m+ business.


In this episode, we chat through what shifted the needle in scaling this brand, how early-stage founders should think about brand and Marketing in today’s world, and what Jess would do if she was starting it all again tomorrow.


I love the part of this episode where we dive into just how easy it is to get stuck in old habits, even when that's the total opposite of what you should be focusing on. It’s easy over time to get set in your ways and rinse and repeat things. But as founders, we have got to remember: the only thing scarier than a new idea is an old one. It's this idea that guides a lot of Frank Body's decision-making. When it comes down to it, a lot of money makes people lazy and stupid. Your best campaigns will be done on a shoestring budget. Have fun with it!


And if you haven’t downloaded our Grants doc yet - there are so many good ones ready to apply to this month! Like the Cartier Women’s Initiative where you can access up to $100,000 and the Fearless Fund x Tory Burch Grant where you can access up to $20,000.

Hello and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl sliding into your ears with a new episode on the Female Startup Club podcast. If you’re new here, hi! Welcome! Every week we interview some of the world’s most exciting and successful founders and entrepreneurs - who happen to be women. Like Emily Hamilton, the founder behind one of the best-recognized brands in the market right now; Coco & Eve. Born and raised in Australia, Emily had a passion for beauty from a young age and always dreamed of creating her own line of products that would help women feel confident and beautiful. Today we’re digging into the Coco & Eve playoff to understand what made this brand garner a 47,000-person waitlist for their Shampoo & Conditioner and 10s of millions of reach before launch, what a proof of concept actually means and Emily’s thoughts on capital as a totally bootstrapped founder still with 100% of her company.


And if you haven’t downloaded our Grants doc yet - there are so many good ones ready to apply to this month! Like the Cartier Women’s Initiative where you can access up to $100,000 and the Fearless Fund in partnership with Tory Burch Grant where you can access up to $20,000.

Hi! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl popping into your ears on from Sydney Australia. If you’re new to the show - welcome - every week I’m chatting with some of the world’s most successful female founders and entrepreneurs to understand how they’ve built their business to 7,8 and 9 figures in annual recurring revenue; we talk about what’s working now and what’s not working. And we love to dig into the money piece and the challenges that come from going through those hard times.


Today on the podcast, we’re learning from Monica Grohne. Monica is the Founder & CEO of Marea - a menstrual wellness company supporting you with the foundational nutrition needed for healthier, happier cycles. Monica spent 17 years struggling with PMDD before discovering the life changing benefits that nutrition could have on helping her live without the cyclical roller coaster. And I LOVE this episode. Monica has built the business to $50k monthly revenue without spending a cent on paid ads and this is a really important conversation around building your business and proving the concept before you start to invest in paid growth. She also shares some great marketing tactics she’s been using recently!


And while I’ve got you here I’ve also updated the grant doc with a bunch of new grants all over the world that are ready to be applied for this month and you can download it by going to femalestartupclub.com/grants. The Cartier women initiative is open at the moment and it’s one of my faves!

Hi hello!!! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl popping into your ears on a beautiful day from Sydney Australia. If you’re new to the show - welcome - every week I’m chatting with some of the world’s most successful female founders and entrepreneurs to understand how they’ve built their businesses to 7 figures in annual recurring revenue and above; what’s working now and what’s not working. We also love to talk about the money piece and we LOVE to dig into the challenges and find the insights that come from going through those hard times.


Today on the podcast, we’re learning from Christina Kao. Christina is the co-founder of Le Mini Macaron. A privately-funded, indie beauty brand that launched in 2015 with a focus on making gel manicures easy, affordable, and fun to DIY at home. The nail brand has since launched in over 30 markets, including retailers like Sephora, ULTA, Target, and Asos along with about a million other ones. This episode was so much fun and we hit on so many gems when it comes to setting yourself up for success with your supply chain, your retail partners - specifically how to approach your marketing when you launch into something like Target - and product development through the lens of social media.


I loved hearing about what Christina would do differently if she were to start the brand today: she would really focus on content. There’s two ways you can do it. As a founder, to be the face of the brand makes a huge difference. Secondly, if you have the right content then people will start engaging with it, use other creators and influencers to do that - but how you brief them is important - what works for you product - what’s the hook? You have to figure out what is that visual for your brand and your product that is unique and recognisable. Social is your free platform. How are you going to be different and better than the competitors? 


And while I’ve got you here I’ve also updated the grant doc with a bunch of new grants all over the world that are ready to be applied for this month and you can download it by going to femalestartupclub.com/grants.

Welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl. Today we’re learning from Roslyn McLarty, co-founder of The GIST, a women-led and operated digital sports media company with a mission of leveling up the playing field in sports and bringing inclusive and progressive sports updates to underserved fans.


Roslyn leads The GIST’s operations, finance, and audience growth and together with her team, she’s scaled the brand’s audience to over 1m GISTers across their channels. Roslyn and her two co-founders were named to Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2020 and have been accelerated through programs with Meta and Techstars.


If you’ve ever thought about starting a newsletter this is your sign to do it! We talk through the blueprint in the early days when it was more boots to the ground organic vs today and what she would do now if she was starting fresh. The media landscape is changing, and that's great news for small businesses. You might feel like the latest it-newsletter is popping up left right and centre, but as the market becomes more saturated there are lots of new tools that make creating a newsletter super easy. Roslyn McLarty's number one tip? Take a look at all the tools out there that can save you a lot of time and investment up-front. 


Oh, and we’ve also updated the grant doc with a bunch of new grants all over the world that are ready to be applied for this month - like the Small Business Growth Fund that’s awarding grants between 5-25k and the FinImpact Women Empowerment grant for $10k.

You can access the doc by going to femalestartupclub.com/grants.

Hi hello!!! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl popping into your ears from Sydney Australia. If you’re new to the show - welcome - every week I’m chatting with some of the world’s most successful female founders to understand how they’ve built their business to 7 figures in annual recurring rev and above; what’s working and what’s not working. We also love to talk about the money piece and we LOVE to dig into the challenges and find the insights that come from going through those hard times.


Today on the podcast, we’re learning from Kayla Houlihan and we had the best chat about her company, Tribe Skincare. And Kayla also shares specifics around what she’s doing differently as she launches a sister company to Tribe. We dive into the blueprint for a successful Afterpay sales day and how they approach sales overall as a company, why she did switched off all her digital ad spend and the result of doing that, and a clever engagement idea for Instagram that you can launch today.


Kayla also shared her biggest money mistake since starting the business, going right back to the early days when trademarking (what became) Tribe Skincare wasn't top of the priorities list. Receiving a cease & desist ended up being super costly, and a big money mistake. In hindsight, it would have been a lot cheaper to just pay to trademark the brand over completely changing everything. Keep your eyes peeled on our Instagram for a post diving a little more into trademarking options later this week!

Hey guys, welcome back to the show -

And if you’re new here! Hi! I’m Doone, your host and Hype girl in business. Every week we learn from 7, 8 and 9 figure female founders to understand their blueprint in business when it comes to money, marketing and mistakes. Women like Tammy Green, the founder of Prene.


Tammy founded Prene from her bedroom in her parents home when she was just 20 years old. And it’s one of those right place right time stories that’s jam packed with plenty of insights for anyone in the fashion and accessories space getting started today. The gold in this episode is when we dive into partnerships; how to run them, what makes them successful and what makes them not so successful.

Speak up, negotiate everything, and use all the resources you have at your disposal. If someone isn't able to meet you halfway, then maybe that's not the right partnership for you. Absolutely everything is negotiable, use that to your advantage.

Today’s episode is sponsored by the DONUT, a 100% FREE newsletter committed to making the news more enjoyable, sign up today at thedonut.co/hype


And if you’re new here! Hi! I’m Doone, your host and Hype girl in business. Every week we learn from 7, 8 and 9 figure female founders to understand their blueprint in business when it comes to money, marketing and mistakes. Women like Tammy Green, the founder of Prene.


Tammy founded Prene from her bedroom in her parents home when she was just 20 years old. And it’s one of those right place right time stories that’s jam packed with plenty of insights for anyone in the fashion and accessories space getting started today. The gold in this episode is when we dive into partnerships; how to run them, what makes them successful and what makes them not so successful.


In this episode, Tammy really hones in on the importance of starting small and not letting anything take advantage of you. Speak up, negotiate everything, and use all the resources you have at your disposal. If someone isn't able to meet you halfway, then maybe that's not the right partnership for you. Absolutely everything is negotiable, use that to your advantage.


And while I’ve got you here. Remember that you can access our doc for every grant that’s currently live around the world right now for female founders. You can get the list at femalestartupclub.com/grants.


Ok! Let’s jump into today’s episode, this is Tammy for Female Startup Club.

And if you’re new here! Hi! I’m Doone, your host and Hype girl in business. Every week we learn from 7, 8 and 9-figure female founders to understand their blueprint in business when it comes to money, marketing and mistakes. Women like Meagan Pate, the Aussie founder shaking up scalp care.


Meagan spent her teen years trying every home remedy for dandruff she could find, and would often cancel plans over her flakey scalp. Lightbulb moment!!! In 2020 she met her now co-founders and started working on launching STRAAND to market. And it’s been a bit of a whirlwind since then! This episode is packed with so many gems you are going to love this.


I particularly loved diving into the subject of co-founders, and searching for the right people based on their skillset; what could make this business the best it could be? It's probably the most valuable resource you can have. You need to consider what’s right for you and right for your brand; go into it with as much understanding as possible of what that might mean. There’s nothing to lose if it’s a business relationship. When business isn’t going well it’s high pressure, it's something to be mindful of. You could have the best friendship in the world but that doesn’t necessarily translate to a work relationship.

After leaving her career as an attorney, Desiree left the 9-5 to create the Sephora for Black Women which eventually led her to creating Hyper. We’re chatting through a bunch of insightful learnings from this business; like the power of PR and how to use grants to access capital…


Desiree's key piece of advice when it comes to the funding piece of the business is to be really thoughtful about when you fundraise, how you fundraise, and why you're doing it. There are so many different types of capital available right now and each will have entirely different consequences for you and your business.

Welcome back to the show - if you’re new here! Hi! I’m Doone, your host and hype girl in business. Every week we learn from 7, 8 and 9 figure female founders to understand their blueprint in business when it comes to money, marketing and mistakes. Women like Kaylin Marcotte the founder of Jiggy Puzzles. And if you’ve been around FSC since the very early days circa beginning of 2020 you might remember our first interview together. It’s number 10 if you want to go back and listen to Kaylin’s story at the very beginning of her journey only a few months into building Jiggy (and also the very beginning of my journey with building Female Startup Club!) Today we’re getting up to speed on what’s happened in her world since then and we deep dive into the power of her business model when it comes to collaborations with female artists, strategic partnerships with corporate clients and how she managed to get on Oprah’s list of favourite things.


And while I’ve got you here; if you’re a founder yourself or you’re just getting started with putting together your ideas to launch a business slash side hustle; something I’ve come across that’s a problem for every founder at every stage is capital. Every entrepreneur or future founder I speak to - myself included - struggles with the money piece. We all need more money. So we’ve put together a comprehensive list of every grants and accelerator thats live right now - and we’re keeping it updated weekly. There’s some really good ones that are closing in a weeks time you should jump onto. To access the doc for free go to femalestartupclub.com/grants to get your copy.

Welcome back to the show - if you’re new here! Hi! I’m Doone, your host and hype girl in business. Every week we learn from 7,8 & 9-figure female founders to understand their blueprint in business when it comes to money, marketing, and mistakes. Women like Hannah Drury the founder of Peppermint Grove Australia and Moss St Fragrances. Hannah started this business in 2014 with an investment of $50,000 and now she’s selling more than 100,000 products every month. Today we’re digging into Hannah’s story of building this brand over the last 10 years; what she did when her 100% retail model in business went to zero overnight when the pandemic hit and how she diversified her business by becoming her own manufacturer and perfumer.


Hannah also dives into her wholesale strategy in the early days and how she managed to secure her brand in 110 retail stores within the first 6 months of starting her business - as a one-woman show! I love her approach to pounding the pavement and owning her backyard which saw the brand incrementally grow across retail stores at an incredible rate. And the best bit? It was totally free!


And while I’ve got you here; you might have noticed that I’ve been talking more and more about our newsletter. And that’s because we’ve been crafting it to be an absolute go-to resource that delivers you weekly insights, resources and extra content to keep you in the loop on all things women in business.

Hi and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl. If you’re new here - hi! I’m so happy you found us. Every week we dive into some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs - who happen to be women - to understand their blueprint; the money piece, the marketing piece and the mistakes we face along the way - to help founders and future founders feel a lot of inspired and a little less lonely.


Today we’re learning from Briana Olson, the founder of Trio Beauty. And boy oh boy this one is such a goodie!! During the pandemic, Briana had to pivot her business and developed a set of eyebrow stencils for her clients who couldn’t come in to get their regular microblading. The short story is that it totally took off and last year alone she was already doing 12 million in annual rev. But how - I hear you asking…. You’re about to find out as we dive into the long version! We also talk through working capital and how she’s funded the business without raising any money up until this point, and it’s something that you can do too.


We also get into the wellness side of things. The importance of having those moments in the day that break it up, having the chance to sit and reflect in silence. Really planning in that me-time. And just how difficult it is to truly incorporate that time away from our screens and away from technology. At the end of the day, you've got to have boundaries and be strong on those. Otherwise, you'll burn out.


And while I’ve got you here; if you’re a founder or you’re just getting started with putting together your ideas to launch a business; something I’ve come across that’s a problem for every founder at every stage is capital. Every entrepreneur or future founder I speak to - myself included - struggles with the money piece. We all need more money. So we’ve put together a comprehensive list of grants and accelerators that are live right now - and we’re keeping it updated weekly.

The short story is that it totally took off and last year alone she was already doing 12 million in annual rev. But how - I hear you asking…. You’re about to find out as we dive into the long version! We also talk through working capital and how she’s funded the business without raising any money up until this point, and it’s something that you can do too.


We also get into the wellness side of things. The importance of having those moments in the day that break it up, having the chance to sit and reflect in silence. Really planning in that me-time. And just how difficult it is to truly incorporate that time away from our screens and away from technology. At the end of the day, you've got to have boundaries and be strong on those. Otherwise, you'll burn out.


And while I’ve got you here; if you’re a founder or you’re just getting started with putting together your ideas to launch a business; something I’ve come across that’s a problem for every founder at every stage is capital. Every entrepreneur or future founder I speak to - myself included - struggles with the money piece. We all need more money. So we’ve put together a comprehensive list of grants and accelerators that are live right now - and we’re keeping it updated weekly.

Hello and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl. Today on the show we’re learning from Josh Mehta, founder of Pop & Bottle. Pop & Bottle was inspired when Jash Mehta and her close friend Blair Hardy made the move from the London to California meeting for their daily ritual - the morning latte.


As coffee lovers who also prioritized health, the two friends asked themselves why nothing on the grocery store shelves met their standards: clean label, dairy-free, no refined sugar, and organic. Jash co-founded Pop & Bottle from a genuine desire to create quality coffee and tea beverages she wanted in her own life — and make them available to the millions of people who share in her passion for clean, healthful, high-integrity products.


We talk through her early blueprint which his still super relevant to today and how she expanded from 30 to 100 stores and then onto 10,000. If you’re in the food and Bev industry - grab your pen and paper and settle in for an episode packed with valuable insights.


And today is your last chance to join us inside Majic before we close the doors to founding members and go back to our regular pricing. It’s inside Majic that you can meet women like Jash and ask direct questions in an intimate setting, connect with other founders who are pre-launch or in the early stages of building their brand and access tonnes of resources/sops and frameworks that you can implement into your life and business today. If you’ve been excited about joining us, go to femalestartupclub.com/majic - with a J and when you sign up you’ll be prompted to book your 1-1 call with me so I can get to know you better.

Hi, it’s Doone here - your host and hype girl - if you’re new here: welcome to the Female Startup Club podcast - where we interview some of the world’s most successful founders in business. We chat with entrepreneurs - who happen to be women - about all things money, marketing and mistakes - and dive deep into the blueprint that got them to where they are today.


Today we’re chatting with Erin Deering who is the founder of a cult swimwear brand you probably recognise, called Triangl. It’s one of those stories that has so many highs - it gained instant cult status within it’s first year of business, it was all over our feeds, it grew to a $200m valuation and from the outside - everything looked amazing. But on the flip side, Erin wasn’t living her best life and she was struggling. In this episode she shares the story of her highs but also of the lows and what it took to exit the business and follow her instincts. It’s rare to hear founders go so deep into the lows and this is one of those episodes we can all learn a lot from so I hope you love it as much as I did.


I particularly love diving into Erin's approach to influencer marketing right back in the early days of building Triangl, all with gifting making up the entirety of their marketing budget. The idea is that your product is still the hero, but this marketing strategy put trust into your new brand. That's the key point there, build trust. When you apply that logic with your marketing strategy, building trust with them instead of getting sales, it will shift who you target and who you reach out to. That logic is still applicable in 2023. 


And if you want even more content from us, we send out an email every Monday that features strategies you can implement into your business, job opportunities at female founded startups, all the best news about women-led startups and women in business as well as new grants and other fun stuff that’s worth knowing.

Hi, it’s Doone here - your host and hype girl - if you’re new here: welcome to the Female Startup Club podcast - where we interview some of the world’s most successful founders in business. We chat with entrepreneurs - who happen to be women - about all things money, marketing and mistakes - and dive deep into the blueprint that got them to where they are today.


Today we’re chatting with Erin Deering who is the founder of a cult swimwear brand you probably recognise, called Triangl. It’s one of those stories that has so many highs - it gained instant cult status within it’s first year of business, it was all over our feeds, it grew to a $200m valuation and from the outside - everything looked amazing. But on the flip side, Erin wasn’t living her best life and she was struggling. In this episode she shares the story of her highs but also of the lows and what it took to exit the business and follow her instincts. It’s rare to hear founders go so deep into the lows and this is one of those episodes we can all learn a lot from so I hope you love it as much as I did.


I particularly love diving into Erin's approach to influencer marketing right back in the early days of building Triangl, all with gifting making up the entirety of their marketing budget. The idea is that your product is still the hero, but this marketing strategy put trust into your new brand. That's the key point there, build trust. When you apply that logic with your marketing strategy, building trust with them instead of getting sales, it will shift who you target and who you reach out to. That logic is still applicable in 2023. 


And if you want even more content from us, we send out an email every Monday that features strategies you can implement into your business, job opportunities at female founded startups, all the best news about women-led startups and women in business as well as new grants and other fun stuff that’s worth knowing. It’s totally free and you can subscribe at femalestartupclub.com.

]]> Best of ‘22 - 6 Questions with Kayla Castańeda, Founder of Agua Bonita (Part 2) Best of ‘22 - 6 Questions with Kayla Castańeda, Founder of Agua Bonita (Part 2) Thu, 19 Jan 2023 12:00:00 GMT 7:43 80c2006e-95ab-11ed-9283-b376dd31dd9a false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e01e2 653afa30238f6100125e01e2 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 485 Today on the show we’re learning from Kayla, the founder of Agua Bonita.


Agua Bonita is a Latina-owned beverage company making the first better-for-you aguas frescas on the market. A modern take on a traditional Mexican fruit drink, their aguas frescas come in ready-to-drink 12oz cans, made with real fruit, low sugar, and fun flavors (like mango habanero). And this story is a wild one. I actually came across a post of Kayla’s on LinkedIn sharing a pretty crappy story for any small business owner to go through. I’m sure you’ll find plenty of takeaways in this episode because she’s just so insightful.


We talk through those initial 6 months of building the brand. Agua Bonita launched conceptually in July 2020, but those first months were really stealth mode. You conceptualize your brand, identify your values, and what makes you different from the whole market. A lot of thinking through that for the first 6 months. What do we want to do that’s different, how can we do this sustainably, and how do we communicate that?


And we can confidently say this initial stage was a success, with 10,000 units flying out the door in the first month. Kayla talks us through how exactly this came about, this complete wildfire response. Firstly, the people were ready for Agua Bonita. This product was just completely absent from the market, and people wanted it. On top of that, Agua Bonita was ready for the people: extensive research into where they can find their consumers, and then showing up in their life throughout the day. Kayla also shared some pretty key know-how around a concept called free-fill when it comes to giveaways in retail. Heard of it? Check out the full chat for the low-down.


You should stick around to the end of the episode, where Kayla shares the number one piece of advice she's ever received, and some of her own advice. When it comes to the first, everything takes way longer than you expect it to. Even when you allot a lot of extra time, add even more time onto that timeline. In business, time really does equal money. So you'll need money to make sure those things work out in your favor. When it comes to Kayla's own piece of advice, she's a strong advocate for leaning into your community. You will find so many other founders and resources, so many people that really want to help you. When you’re building a brand, that’s all your really trying to do as a brand. Lean into the community, there are people that want to help. 


If you love this episode and get something out of it please do share it on your Instagram stories with us @femalestartupclub. You can also find me in the DMs directly @dooneroisin where I love to chat and hear about what you’re working on. Let's get into it.

By Rosie Jane was founded in 2010 by celebrity makeup artist Rosie Jane Johnston, an Aussie who has made her home in LA. Each fragrance, formulated by Rosie herself, is free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates and phosphates and housed in recycled and recyclable packaging. Her perfumes and body care products are refreshingly simple and ideal for daily wear using the highest quality fragrance oils. We cover her journey to building this brand into a 7 figure company stocked in the likes of Sephora and Thirteen Lune, and the campaign that’s driving her customer acquisition right now.


The thing that really struck me in this episode is Rosie's relentless pursuit in business and getting what she wants, to get By Rosie Jane to where it is today. She really shows us how a no now doesn’t mean a no forever, and it’s all about being open for when that time comes for the no to turn into a yes. That’s where your courage and conviction are. If you are not doing something you truly believe in, you truly love, you’re not going to stay the course. Whatever that is for you, has to be your driving force. There’s something within your entrepreneurial spirit. That’s just in you. It takes 10 years to reach overnight success. And in that time you need to have that persistence and true conviction in what you’re doing. When we look at legacy brands, there are a few key things key they are getting really right. They have these incredible “whys”. They have a lot of struggles in the beginning. They’ve had to change and move with the time and have great failures and still come back, which is so important to have in the entrepreneurial world.


If you love something in this episode please do consider sharing it on Instagram stories and tagging us or leaving us a review to help other ears find us. I’m so grateful for each and every one of you who does this.

]]> <![CDATA[Best of '22 - How to build a 7-figure clean fragrance brand with founder Rosie Jane Johnston (part 1)]]> Mon, 16 Jan 2023 12:00:00 GMT 43:23 26e74422-957f-11ed-aedd-a36b5ec8afe5 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e01e5 653afa30238f6100125e01e5 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 482 Today we’re learning from Rosie Jane Johnston, the founder of By Rosie Jane.


By Rosie Jane was founded in 2010 by celebrity makeup artist Rosie Jane Johnston, an Aussie who has made her home in LA. Each fragrance, formulated by Rosie herself, is free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates and phosphates and housed in recycled and recyclable packaging. Her perfumes and body care products are refreshingly simple and ideal for daily wear using the highest quality fragrance oils. We cover her journey to building this brand into a 7 figure company stocked in the likes of Sephora and Thirteen Lune, and the campaign that’s driving her customer acquisition right now.


The thing that really struck me in this episode is Rosie's relentless pursuit in business and getting what she wants, to get By Rosie Jane to where it is today. She really shows us how a no now doesn’t mean a no forever, and it’s all about being open for when that time comes for the no to turn into a yes. That’s where your courage and conviction are. If you are not doing something you truly believe in, you truly love, you’re not going to stay the course. Whatever that is for you, has to be your driving force. There’s something within your entrepreneurial spirit. That’s just in you. It takes 10 years to reach overnight success. And in that time you need to have that persistence and true conviction in what you’re doing. When we look at legacy brands, there are a few key things key they are getting really right. They have these incredible “whys”. They have a lot of struggles in the beginning. They’ve had to change and move with the time and have great failures and still come back, which is so important to have in the entrepreneurial world.


If you love something in this episode please do consider sharing it on Instagram stories and tagging us or leaving us a review to help other ears find us. I’m so grateful for each and every one of you who does this.

This episode was so damn cool, and I know you’re going to get so much out of this. Miki is the queen of disruptive marketing, we talk through how she takes a product and applies her framework to create intrigue and mystery which then creates buzz and more eyeballs. We also talk about what she did to raise millions of dollars and her advice for founders. And if you hang around to the end, we were lucky enough to meet her beautiful dad! Go check out the YouTube video on our channel.

Miki is an absolute marketing genius, and her magic lies in pulling that intrigue and taboo element out of the products she is selling. Using that intrigue in a way that supports the clickbait or the interest of the conversation. You can really take anything and make it intriguing based on what you attach it to. It all comes back to creativity. Everyone is creative, we just don't necessarily spend the time taking the noise out of our brains to have time to think. People are so busy reacting to the world around them that they don't give themselves the space to be creative. Creativity requires spaciousness, time, and presence.

Tuning into your creativity goes hand-in-hand with the changes in the narrative around things not being presented so perfect and crisp anymore. We're leaning more into sincerity and authenticity in 2022. This links back to the big rise in UGC over traditional commercials, something important to keep in mind for marketing moving into the future. Authentic recommendations and user-generated content perform so much better, commercials have started to feel phony. Do things DIY, and even if it's not perfect, that's the whole point. We are built for imperfection, that's the beauty of being human.

I’m so grateful that you’re tuning in today and I hope you love this episode as much as I did recording it.

A 100% natural Ayurvedic-inspired skincare brand that started in her kitchen while on mat leave.

And this has many important insights packed in here; for Zara it was a veryyyy slow start but at some point, the TikTok gods kicked in and changed the game. We also talk about how hard the challenges of building a business are, especially when we see the highlights splashed across social media. I loved this episode and felt like we can all relate to the ups and downs of building a business and what it truly entails.

When it comes to the financials, Zara was able to bootstrap Delhicious with a slow and steady approach. Starting with just a couple of hundred pounds, she was able to just wing it and see how far she could take this. Skincare's low barrier to entry is a huge help when it comes to this, it's totally doable to start a skincare business with a low initial investment. Start scrappy, go slow, prove out the concept, and just start there. If you're going to spend too much too early, you're going to feel that. More so emotionally you're going to feel that loss. So as much as you can, save and do things yourself before letting go. Relieve some of that pressure off your shoulders.

This was such an inspirational story that shows there is absolutely nothing truly stopping you from starting a business today.

BelliWelli is a functional wellness brand that offers a healthy snack alternative, while also creating a movement around the very common but rarely talked about struggle of digestive health which affects over 70% of U.S. adults. Katie saw a gap in the $280 B functional food market and set out to create a treat that was made by gut sufferers, for gut sufferers, with the FIRST gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and certified low-FODMAP bar being born.

What I love about this story, is the serendipity of it all. The wildly successful billboard and merch you've probably spotted across your socials were a happy accident. It all came about because Kati knew from day one the uphill battle that she was going to have normalizing the conversation around gut issues. Many people along the way echoed "no-one is ever going to buy a food product for IBS". The billboard, "Hot Girls have IBS" came from the TikTok trends. The magic lies in the way IBS and hot girls is such a polarising thing, but it doesn't have to be. People went crazy for it. There was a line of people taking selfies at the infamous billboard. BelliWelli started selling the merch based on this, and to this day they can’t keep it in stock.

This episode is so much fun, Katie is a marketing genius and shares so many learnings around how she built her communities, and grassroots initiatives to get the word out there about the brand, and the billboard that went viral.

If you love this episode as much as I did recording it, remember to screenshot and share on IG to help other ears find us!

BelliWelli is a functional wellness brand that offers a healthy snack alternative, while also creating a movement around the very common but rarely talked about struggle of digestive health which affects over 70% of U.S. adults. Katie saw a gap in the $280 B functional food market and set out to create a treat that was made by gut sufferers, for gut sufferers, with the FIRST gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and certified low-FODMAP bar being born.

What I love about this story, is the serendipity of it all. The wildly successful billboard and merch you've probably spotted across your socials were a happy accident. It all came about because Kati knew from day one the uphill battle that she was going to have normalizing the conversation around gut issues. Many people along the way echoed "no-one is ever going to buy a food product for IBS". The billboard, "Hot Girls have IBS" came from the TikTok trends. The magic lies in the way IBS and hot girls is such a polarising thing, but it doesn't have to be. People went crazy for it. There was a line of people taking selfies at the infamous billboard. BelliWelli started selling the merch based on this, and to this day they can’t keep it in stock.

This episode is so much fun, Katie is a marketing genius and shares so many learnings around how she built her communities, and grassroots initiatives to get the word out there about the brand, and the billboard that went viral.

If you love this episode as much as I did recording it, remember to screenshot and share on IG to help other ears find us!

Summersalt launched in 2017 after a serendipitous moment with her co-founder Lori, and what started as a swimwear company made from recycled materials has since moved into every area of a woman's wardrobe.

In this episode we cover that harrowing statistics that always come back up, that only 2% of venture funding goes to women. It was almost 3% in 2019 and now it’s closer to 2% again, and Reshma shows us how it’s time to remove our rose-colored glasses. There are fewer women in decision-making seats. Fewer women working in those larger funds. Times aren't easy. Which begs the question, how did you go about pitching swimsuits to a bunch of men, in St Louis? For Reshma, it was all about sharing the big business picture as opposed to getting bogged down in the specifics. Focus on economics. The scale. The opportunity. How big the business could be, and make sure that is very sound. If you truly go for it, you can often end up with something incredible and influence the next generation of entrepreneurs, making their journey that little bit easier. Be one of those people changing the stats. 

We’re further talk through Reshma’s journey and the power a mission driven brand can have in a saturated market, how to successfully collaborate with brands as a way to drive significant customer acquisition and her core tips from raising $26m in venture dollars.

If you learn something from this episode please do share it on Instagram stories and tag us @femalestartupclub to help other ears find us. I am so grateful to each and every one of you when you do that.

Chances are you’ve seen this brand on Instagram or Tiktok, but if you haven’t Experiment is a chemist-led brand building science-backed beauty 2.0. They're rebranding what a science-backed beauty brand feels like for the next generation of consumers and also what it looks like. All of their products are clinically backed, thoughtfully sustainable, and ridiculously fun. You’ll probably recognise their first product which is the acid neon green reusable sheet mask we’ve all seen cruising around the internet.

Always wanted to know what you do you do when you have an $8500 budget to launch a beauty brand? You get creative pretty. damn. quickly. Lisa shares her 3-step organic marketing approach that got her hero product out into the world (without spending a dime). Firstly, the product. You have to clock this one early on, but creating a product that is memorable, meme-able, and sharable will simply sell itself. Secondly, TikTok. There’s just no way you’re going to get around this one if you’re a brand launching in 2020 - get behind the screen yourself and work with other creators to push your product out there (bonus points for going viral). And finally, brand collabs. Creating a product that pairs well with other products is a dream for organizing cool collabs, it’s a win-win! Have a really unique perspective. And own it. Beauty is one of the most crowded spaces. Stick with your vibe, your absurdity, the fun, and the people will follow.

We also cover the story of how to deal with a nightmare manufacturer and avoid this in the future, not spending a dime on launch-day marketing and Lisa’s top piece of advice for founders looking to launch into the beauty space. 

I loved this chat with Lisa, she shares her journey so deeply and there are so many takeaways you’ll learn from her.

And boy oh boy has she been on the journey! This conversation is just SO good and sprinkled with so many learnings.

After a successful 20-year career in the corporate finance industry, Aisha was diagnosed with severe hypertension and felt completely burned out. She dreamed of creating a beloved beauty brand that cared about how women felt starting from the inside and moving outward. Bossy Cosmetics is a mission-driven color cosmetics brand committed to empowering ambitious women to feel, look, and do good with a line of ethically made lipsticks, eyeshadows, and eyeliners.

In this episode we cover the importance of just letting the market teach you, the money piece from an initial investment of just $2500, and walking to the beat of your drum whilst figuring out what your customers need. 

If you’re like me and wondering how she managed to trademark the name Bossy Cosmetics, get ready to hear this wild story!

]]> Today on the show we’re learning from Aisha, she’s the founder of Bossy Cosmetics. And boy oh boy has she been on the journey! This conversation is just SO good and sprinkled with so many learnings.

After a successful 20-year career in the corporate finance industry, Aisha was diagnosed with severe hypertension and felt completely burned out. She dreamed of creating a beloved beauty brand that cared about how women felt starting from the inside and moving outward. Bossy Cosmetics is a mission-driven color cosmetics brand committed to empowering ambitious women to feel, look, and do good with a line of ethically made lipsticks, eyeshadows, and eyeliners.

In this episode we cover the importance of just letting the market teach you, the money piece from an initial investment of just $2500, and walking to the beat of your drum whilst figuring out what your customers need. 

If you’re like me and wondering how she managed to trademark the name Bossy Cosmetics, get ready to hear this wild story!

While I’ve got you here, if you’re on your phone right now please take a quick screenshot in your podcast app and share this episode on Instagram stories. It helps me know you really love the show, it helps other ears find us AND it shows you’re part of our club.

]]> Best of ‘22 - 6 quick questions with Rowena Bird, Founder of Lush (Part 2) Best of ‘22 - 6 quick questions with Rowena Bird, Founder of Lush (Part 2) Thu, 22 Dec 2022 12:00:00 GMT 12:20 62fb8bf6-800a-11ed-bb71-db2d61db71d8 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e01f2 653afa30238f6100125e01f2 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 469 Today we are learning from Rowena Bird, Co-Founder of Lush Cosmetics. A business that started 27 years ago in Poole, the UK.

Since 1995, Lush has been a trailblazer in the cosmetics industry. From inventing bath bombs and creating new, innovative products to fighting animal testing and ethical campaigning, it’s come a long way since its humble beginnings. Lush’s journey is ongoing. And as it continues to grow and evolve in ways that keep breaking new ground in the cosmetics industry, it’s a journey that is so interesting to dig into.

In this episode we chat about the importance of hiring people smarter than you, building organic growth and word-of-mouth into the business, and what led LUSH to make the drastic decision to come off social media, as well as a golden tip when it comes to the financial side of things. 

When it gets to the people piece, Rowena shared some real wisdom. Talking about the people you’re building this with, the people you’re facing every day, it’s important to genuinely like and respect them. Not just for your sake, but for all parties involved. At the end of the day, if you’re not looking forward to talking to someone you might not be opening up to issues in the business. And that’s obviously an issue. In everything from your co-founders, to your investor relations and the people you hire, business continues to be all about relationships and people. 

I know you’re going to absolutely LOVE this episode.

Nadya is one of those women that is impossible not to be impressed by and excited about, she’s a Harvard grad, author, speaker, NGO founder, gen z marketing agency founder and now august as well as a Tiktoker that’s grown to 4.1 million followers. Crazy stuff.

The gem in this episode is when she steps through her thoughts on Tiktok. It’s pretty crazy!

We also touch on the importance of building a hyper-inclusive hyper-diverse community (all whilst maintaining a special sense of intimacy), growing slowly and thoughtfully and ensuring your cost of acquisition stays as low as possible.  

I love Nadya’s key piece of mental health advice, centred all around taking time to really take care of yourself. You have to take care of yourself so you can really sustain your energy. Speaking of which, sleep is everything! And that’s something I can get behind. Being better about taking time to not think about your company is so important. Spending time with the people you love, that’s what will remind you: “this is what I feel so fulfilled doing.” Having that space to be re-ground yourself is so key because you’re able to come back to your work with a new refound trust in your instincts. That’s what you need in leadership. To trust your gut. You have to be making big decisions, but if you have trust in yourself and what your values are you feel much more empowered in making them.

Welcome back to the show - it’s Doone here, your host and hype girl. On the show today we’re talking with Parisa Fowles-Pazdro - the founder of Maxbone.

Parisa spent a vibrant childhood growing up in Iran until the war forced her parents to leave for Sweden to start over with nothing. It was during this time she got the drive to succeed and started her journey to give her parents back everything that they lost. First by working 3 jobs to save enough money for a condo and using that to climb the property ladder and then by tapping into her unique design sensibility to start a business. Parisa recognized that the lack of high-quality products and elevated shopping experience were gaps in the pet market she could fill. Parisa built Maxbone to become a community-driven pet and lifestyle company, and continues to grow a successful team to build upon that vision, culminating in a strong market experience that creates a cultured, current, and loved brand.

This is such an inspiring and open conversation especially around the topic of raising investment and what it truly means to go down that pathway in the VC world with plenty of advice you can take for yourself. You’ll also love the part where we break down partnerships and how you can replicate this blueprint in your own business.

But just quickly before we jump into this episode, I’m wondering if you’ve joined our new tool and private community for small business owners called Majic? It’s launched just this week and we’re accepting founding members on the founding members rates. You’ll be able to meet women like Parisa in intimate workshops as well as like minded founders building the future of DTC brands. Once you sign up you’ll be able to book your 1-1 call with me so I can get up to speed with where you are in the journey. I’m so excited and I can’t wait to meet you and hear about what you’re up to! If you’ve got any questions just shoot me over an email to hello@femalestartupclub.com!

Yoohoo. It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl, welcome back to the female startup club podcast! We’re just days away from the launch of Majic so if you’ve been hearing me talk about this pop your name on the waitlist for when we launch next week at femalestartupclub.com/waitlist and if you have no idea what I’m talking about scroll back a few weeks and find the episode on all things Majic so I can introduce you properly.


On the show today we are learning from Jaclyn Johnson who you might recognise as the founder of Create & Cultivate but is here to talk about her latest venture; New Money Ventures in addition to her first incubated brand; Maie Wines.


New Money Ventures is a venture capital fund with a mission to launch, build and scale early-stage, women-led startups. And this is so interesting because she steps us through how she invests in different founders, what the red flags are when founders are trying to raise VC money, the industries that are piping hot right now, how her fund works and a few tips to get you better at pitching your biz! There are so many gems in here, if you’ve got plans to raise this is a MUST LISTEN.


If you learn something in this episode please do share it with someone who will benefit from hearing Jaclyn’s advice or shout about it on social media - we love It when you do that!

If you’re new here - I am so happy to have you joining us - in these incredibly inspiring episodes we meet successful founders - who happen to be women - to deep dive into their story of building a business. We love to dig into things like money and marketing and the challenges we face in the hopes that by sharing the blueprint it’ll help others in the journey. In today’s episode we’re learning from Diana Jarrar, founder of Magic Dates.


Diana is a former Syrian and Palistinian refugee who immigrated to North America to find a new path for herself, and launched her business in 2018. Magic Dates celebrates the cultural heritage and rich history of the Middle East, while reclaiming the date as a symbol of cultural connection.


Rooted in Middle Eastern culture and tradition, Magic Dates offers indulgent and nourishing snack bites made with real dates and nutrient-dense, whole ingredients and no added sugars or sugar alcohols. Magic Dates is the perfect bridge between healthy and indulgent, with delectable flavors and good-for-you ingredients including naturally derived polyphenols.


And we’re covering so many good things:

 

  • Proving out your product and idea with real customer feedback
  • The importance of bringing Middle Eastern culture to the western world
  • A crazzyyy mistake that cost her $50k
  • Getting rejected from Sharktank 4 times and
  • The importance of relationships in business


If you learn something in this episode or you love it please do shout about it from the rooftops and send it to someone else who would benefit from hearing it.


And if you want more of all things Female Startup Club, we send out a juicy newsletter every Monday with industry news, job opportunities at the world’s coolest starts led by women and a bunch of tactical insights that can help you if you’re building a biz or dreaming about building a biz.

This episode came from a really beautiful beginning that I want to tell you about. And you might know what I’m talking about if you follow me on Instagram. So a few months ago I posted out of desperation for help - about this crazy messed up period that I had which gave me hours of severe back pain and vomitting and everything else. Absolute period from hell. But the beautiful thing that came out of this experience is that I had hundreds of people reach out to me with their stories and advice and recommendations and funnily enough a guy I know, Justin Silver, popped into my DMS recommending that I meet the founder of Elix, Lulu Ge.


Now Elix is is the first digital platform to use modern technology to personalize Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), by combining time-tested knowledge, medicinal botanicals, and clinical research to empower self-healing. It’s ben built on the principle that menstrual cycles are a vital sign for our overall health, and Elix formulates pure and potent liquid herbal extracts clinically proven to treat hormonal imbalances that are the root cause of painful and life-disrupting symptoms. Beyond herbal treatments, Elix is committed to breaking women’s health taboos and bridging the gap in healthcare knowledge through community events and their content vertical The Wisdom.


So this conversation comes from a pretty special place for me as someone suffering in this space - and I learned a lot from Lulu about how she’s built her business. We talk about:

  • Using an accelerator as a launchpad
  • Building a product with word of mouth inherently built in like wild fire
  • Creating a business rooted in heritage and culture and using that as your core content marketing strategy
  • And Lulu’s advice for founders


If you ever want to chat period stuff feel free to slide into my dms on Instagram, I am deep in the journey right now and I’ve shared all the insights that I received as a big juicy highlight.

]]> Welcome back to the show, it’s Doone here - your host and hype girl. This episode came from a really beautiful beginning that I want to tell you about. And you might know what I’m talking about if you follow me on Instagram. So a few months ago I posted out of desperation for help - about this crazy messed up period that I had which gave me hours of severe back pain and vomitting and everything else. Absolute period from hell. But the beautiful thing that came out of this experience is that I had hundreds of people reach out to me with their stories and advice and recommendations and funnily enough a guy I know, Justin Silver, popped into my DMS recommending that I meet the founder of Elix, Lulu Ge.


Now Elix is is the first digital platform to use modern technology to personalize Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), by combining time-tested knowledge, medicinal botanicals, and clinical research to empower self-healing. It’s ben built on the principle that menstrual cycles are a vital sign for our overall health, and Elix formulates pure and potent liquid herbal extracts clinically proven to treat hormonal imbalances that are the root cause of painful and life-disrupting symptoms. Beyond herbal treatments, Elix is committed to breaking women’s health taboos and bridging the gap in healthcare knowledge through community events and their content vertical The Wisdom.


So this conversation comes from a pretty special place for me as someone suffering in this space - and I learned a lot from Lulu about how she’s built her business. We talk about:

  • Using an accelerator as a launchpad
  • Building a product with word of mouth inherently built in like wild fire
  • Creating a business rooted in heritage and culture and using that as your core content marketing strategy
  • And Lulu’s advice for founders


If you ever want to chat period stuff feel free to slide into my dms on Instagram, I am deep in the journey right now and I’ve shared all the insights that I received as a big juicy highlight.

]]> Fundraising: everything you wanted to know (but were afraid to ask)✨ Fundraising: everything you wanted to know (but were afraid to ask)✨ Sat, 19 Nov 2022 12:00:00 GMT 14:13 e8d4c896-66a1-11ed-9eb4-f71c94d8424c false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0206 653afa30238f6100125e0206 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 449 Helllooo! It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl. I’ve just spent my morning working on the launch plan for Majic and now I’M excited to be popping to into your ears for our weekly mini episode. Now - You might be able to hear the storm grumbling outside my window right now which is a soundtrack I missed living in London so feel free to enjoy it with me.  


This week I’m answering all of your fundraising questions, covering everything you want - and need - to know but were afraid to ask. A couple of weeks ago Jessie Gabriel from All Places hosted a masterclass in our network to spill the tea on all things fundraising, and we were able to ask all of questions. And it was amazing. I didn’t actually know how much I didn’t know. To give you an introduction to the woman of the hour, Jessie stepped down as an equity partner and head of the Investment Funds practice at a major law firm in 2020 to launch All Places, which is a business and legal strategy firm seeking to create a more equitable world by actively helping women from all backgrounds and industries grow their business without limits. I’d say our missions align pretty damn well. All Places is actually the only firm in the US focused primarily on female asset managers and entrepreneurs and In less than a year, the firm’s client roster has grown to include so many trailblazing consumer brands like Táche and Omsom, who have both come on the podcasts to share their stories! Jessie’s basically a well of knowledge when it comes to fundraising and the reality of being a female founder today. I’d highly recommend jumping onto her website which you can find in the shownotes and signing up to her insightful newsletter. 


The key take-away I want you to take from this episode is this very important tip when it comes to raising any kind of capital. Network is the right place to start. Best case scenario, you have a great network already, that is supportive of you and your brand. If you don’t have that list, the time to grow it is right now. Actively reach out to people before you’re fundraising, get involved in networking groups. It’s hard, and it's a lot of work, but that network is critical. The network isn’t going to be VC funds necessarily, becausee they might not be ones directly writing you checks. For most of them it’s just going to be too early. But investors always know other investors. And if you’e in the process of raising right now, drop me a note. I’d love to learn more about your startup and see if I can help.


Let’s get straight into it!

It is the most beautiful today here in Sydney, I’ve got little Sweetie sitting on my lap and we’ve got a cracker episode today with Jenny Goldfarb, the founder of Mrs Goldfarb’s Unreal Deli. Jenny grew up watching her family run deli’s in NYC but after watching a video of how animals actually get slaughtered she changed her life and set out on a mission to create her favourite food in plant version.


Jenny is the kind of person you could chat to for hours - she’s got a story made of gold and in this episode you’ll hear her tell me all about her grassroots efforts to get the word out there by doing door to door sales, trawling Facebook groups to find people like her to connect with, the key piece advice that saved her business and a mistake that cost for her $100k.


Before we jump into this episode we’re getting close to launching Majic and I would of course LOVE to see you there! You can sign up to our priority waitlist where you’ll receive our launch offer when we go live next month at femalestartupclub.com

Doone here - your host and hype girl. Thank you for tuning in to my solo episode this week. 


Today’s episode specifically is a super super exciting one for me, because I’m going to be sharing with you what we’ve been working hard on behind the scenes for - what feels like forever - but has actually just been the last couple of months here at Female Startup Club. 


Ok so…. the building blocks for what I’m about to share with you have been around since the very early days of Female Startup Club. This was always right in the middle of that big vision of what the future would hold for the podcast. The ultimate goal.. If you’re familiar with the podcast (and me!) you've probably heard of Hype Club which we launched last year into beta. Hype Club is our private network full of amazing women who are launching and building the next wave of DTC brands. We meet weekly on intimate zoom calls to chat about everything that’s going on behind the scenes; the good stuff, the bad stuff and the really fucking bad stuff. And I’m not kidding you when I say this is where the magic happens. We show up to support each other, brainstorm ideas, help connect people to the people they need to be connected to and so much more. I am so damn proud of the community we’re building in there and the women who are part of it. And so now with the foundation that we have Hype Club is ready to go through an evolution. We’re ready for new beginnings. 


What’s that thing about letting go of the past to allow new things to flourish? Yes, that. We have outgrown our community 1.0, and are ready to embrace the next stage of Female Startup Club with arms wide open. A stage that’s all about nurturing that incredibly special community that we’ve already created, building an inclusive space for anyone that could do with a bit of sparkle in their lives, and spreading the impact of Female Startup Club far beyond what we previously thought possible. Today I wanna introduce you to MAJIC. And that’s majic with a J. 


I’m excited to spill all in this episode, let’s get straight into it!

]]> Hi everyone! Doone here - your host and hype girl. Thank you for tuning in to my solo episode this week. 


Today’s episode specifically is a super super exciting one for me, because I’m going to be sharing with you what we’ve been working hard on behind the scenes for - what feels like forever - but has actually just been the last couple of months here at Female Startup Club. 


Ok so…. the building blocks for what I’m about to share with you have been around since the very early days of Female Startup Club. This was always right in the middle of that big vision of what the future would hold for the podcast. The ultimate goal.. If you’re familiar with the podcast (and me!) you've probably heard of Hype Club which we launched last year into beta. Hype Club is our private network full of amazing women who are launching and building the next wave of DTC brands. We meet weekly on intimate zoom calls to chat about everything that’s going on behind the scenes; the good stuff, the bad stuff and the really fucking bad stuff. And I’m not kidding you when I say this is where the magic happens. We show up to support each other, brainstorm ideas, help connect people to the people they need to be connected to and so much more. I am so damn proud of the community we’re building in there and the women who are part of it. And so now with the foundation that we have Hype Club is ready to go through an evolution. We’re ready for new beginnings. 


What’s that thing about letting go of the past to allow new things to flourish? Yes, that. We have outgrown our community 1.0, and are ready to embrace the next stage of Female Startup Club with arms wide open. A stage that’s all about nurturing that incredibly special community that we’ve already created, building an inclusive space for anyone that could do with a bit of sparkle in their lives, and spreading the impact of Female Startup Club far beyond what we previously thought possible. Today I wanna introduce you to MAJIC. And that’s majic with a J. 


I’m excited to spill all in this episode, let’s get straight into it!

Everyday Humans make next-generation sunscreens that are comfortable, conscious and designed for all. We’re talking about how she approaches money and the old school tips to funding a CPG brand, why retailers like Ulta and Sephora came knocking on her door and the pros and cons to creating a truly sustainable brand. 


When it comes to the retail landscape, there are the key aspects that can make you stand out in pitching to those big names. Firstly, the branding should be inclusive. They champion a diverse customer range. Originally aimed at ages 25-35, they’ve found customers all the way down to 16 and up to 65. A lot can be said for finding a brand language that can be as inclusive as that. Secondly, diversity. Everyday Humans champions itself on being a never-ordinary SPF brand. They’re against average SPF. No sun, no yellow branding. They really are different. Basically, differentiation matters. To buyers, to the competition, and to your success. Finally, make sure there’s a focus on sustainability. Young people are super concerned about the environment, and about where they spend their money. Retailers really like that. Combined, this means this is something you definitely want to get on board with.

Fishwife is a new female-founded and led food company aiming to make ethically-sourced, premium, and delicious tinned seafood a staple in every cupboard. They work with small boat fisherfolks, sustainable aquaculture farms, and microcanneries to bring the vibrance of European conservas culture to the North American table.


I started following Becca’s journey with Fishwife when it first launched last year and have been drooling over it ever since as a big tinned fish eater myself - so I’m really excited to share this episode with you. We’re chatting about creating a distinguishable brand, what it costs and how to find the right folks, what it actually means to create a sustainable tinned fish company, how to start small and build within your means and building a brand that’s truly authentic and unique. 


The best piece of advice that the founders were given, that led them to move so quickly, is that there is an ethos of the move fast and break things advice. Asking consumers, asking customers what they think about your products at every turn. Thats the piece of advice, 100 percent always do that. If youre not talking to your consumers, why? This is the most useful resources that you have available. Get customer feedback as soon as you can, by launching the brand. You’ve got to think of those hacks to get your brand and product in front of people to see if they would want to buy you. You just have to talk to so many people to do this. And you should. Because it will lead you in incredible directions and that will really build your business.

]]> Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Cyndi Ramirez-Fulton Founder of Chillhouse (Part 2) Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Cyndi Ramirez-Fulton Founder of Chillhouse (Part 2) Tue, 01 Nov 2022 11:00:00 GMT 10:58 b40ee9f4-5970-11ed-bb4d-03920bc40380 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0214 653afa30238f6100125e0214 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 435 Joining me on today’s episode is Cyndi Ramirez-Fulton, Founder of Chillhouse. 


Chillhouse is an experiential flagship in Soho which offers a suite of spa services and in addition to their physical space, they have a line of products ranging from press-on chill tips to candles and Chill Wear. The Chill Times is the media arm of Chillhouse that covers beauty, health, fitness, and wellness topics.


Born and raised in New York City, Cyndi has been dubbed “The Queen of Chill” through her creation of Chillhouse. The idea was sparked when she and her husband realised the city didn’t offer something that was aspirational and affordable, and their desire to create a place with something for everyone led to the creation of Chillhouse -- which is now the authority of modern self-care. 


In this episode we’re talking through bringing this vision into reality, how a cult product can be used as a major discovery tool and how the ultimate Girlboss of entrepreneurs got involved with Chillhouse in the beginning, getting Cyndi to think and dream bigger.


This is a great one to listen to if you know if you need to stop second guessing yourself. Biggest differentiator between men and women? Men just do and women talk a lot, try to get feedback and get advice. Men don’t ask questions, they just go for it. We want to see more women just having this innate reaction. Personally here at FSC, we got some serious kick-up-the-**** vibes from this chat. The ultimate take-away is that if an idea feels brilliant to you, it could be brilliant to everybody. Stop mulling over the why not, get yourself in gear. Test whatever you think is going to work, and if it doesn’t land… Then now you know!

We’re covering how to make your pitch count when it comes to getting stocked into retailers like Sephora + how to be a best seller at Sephora, and how she stands out in a saturated market.  


Tower 28 is an Insta-favorite clean beauty brand designed for sensitive skin and made for all. Created with a hint of nostalgia (hello Juicy Tubes!), Tower 28’s products are bold, playful, and accessible (with all price points under $28!). With the message that #ItsOkayToBeSensitive, Tower 28 is the first and only beauty brand to follow the National Eczema Association’s Ingredient Guidelines. That means 0% irritating ingredients and 100% safe for sensitive skin. It's also clean, vegan, rigorously dermatologist-tested, and made in the USA.


We can all learn a lot from Amy’s out-the-box approach to pitching. Without giving too much away, she dives into why you need to make buyers feel the brand. Really animate it. Really stand out in a way. It’s like any relationship, the first thing you want is for them to say yes. But you don’t just want them to say yes. You want them to be SO excited to be doing this. The whole thing is: you want them to be your advocate internally, so that when it does come to launching they’re your cheerleader. And all the details on just how to do that are packed inside the episode.


So, let’s get straight into it!

]]> Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Liv Koennecke, Founder of Maison Essentiele (Part 2) Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Liv Koennecke, Founder of Maison Essentiele (Part 2) Thu, 27 Oct 2022 11:00:00 GMT 10:07 17dfae0e-556c-11ed-abb7-eb2cce4dd06b false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0218 653afa30238f6100125e0218 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 231 Today on the show we are learning from Olivia (or Liv as I know her!) Koennecke, Founder of luxury pyjamas brand Maison Essentiele. Maison Essentiele creates luxurious home essentials defined by soft, fluid silhouettes and tailoring. Every piece in the collection is responsibly crafted using high-quality natural fabrics like A-grade silk, European linen and organic cotton, allowing you to elevate your morning and evening routine with their chic pajama sets and silky nightdresses.


If you’re in the fashion industry this is such an amazing deep dive on things you should be considering when it comes to capital, how to go about getting a retailer like Net-A-Porter and Bloomingdales, and her thoughts behind gifting high-priced products to influencers.


I especially loved getting into the nitty gritty of the financials behind building a luxury brand. You wouldn’t be alone in thinking that starting a luxury fashion brand would require a hefty bit of capital to get you off the ground. I sure thought so, but Liv really turned this on its head for me. “Because I had no capital to work with, it has always made me have a really lean way of operating. I’ve always had to be really savvy with my money, and be really creative to have done what I’ve done. This is the biggest lesson that I want to pass on to other business owners. You actually, to begin with, don’t need a huge amount of money.” I just had to know the secret. When it comes to a logo, website, designing some packaging… There are so many great tools that you can use right now that are so much lower cost. Those are a lot more cost-efficient than agency packages. Outsourcing websites such as: Fiverr, Upwork, 99Designs, Writer Access, Total…In this way, you can pay by the hour or by the project, and save those pretty pennies for other areas of the biz. So smart.

]]> Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Cherie Hoeger, Founder of Saalt (Part 2) Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Cherie Hoeger, Founder of Saalt (Part 2) Tue, 25 Oct 2022 11:00:00 GMT 7:52 9fff85c4-536a-11ed-849b-474e4b0c7900 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e021a 653afa30238f6100125e021a 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 429 Joining me on today’s episode is Cherie Hoeger, Founder of Saalt.


Saalt is a company aiming to modernize reusable period care. In 2018, Saalt launched its flagship product—the Saalt period cup—with the vision of making cleaner, more sustainable period care accessible to everyone. Leading Saalt's social impact efforts, Cherie began networking with impact partners to provide their period cups to underprivileged girls and women so they could confidently manage their periods, stay in school, and lift themselves out of poverty. 


The lightbulb moment came to Cherie after a phone call with her aunt in Venezuela, who had not been able to purchase pads or tampons for a year as a result of the local political situation. This circumstance, being a woman herself, and having five daughters, got Cherie thinking about what reusable options are actually available to us women out there. Now in their third year in business, Saalt has donated over 12,000 cups in over twenty-two countries to create a wave of informed cup users who then act as mentors for other donation recipients.


In this episode you’ll hear how Cherie and her husband got started, how they got their impactful start by launching the brand to their focus group of 1000 people, the way they’re driving growth through impact and education, and why Cherie urges everyone to consider becoming a B Corp business. 


Our fave take-aways from this inspiring chat with Cherie? As entrepreneurs it’s really a rollercoaster. It’s often said you only have two emotions as an entrepreneur: euphoria and terror. And the lack of sleep emphasises them both. This is amazing, and I truly can’t get enough of this quote. Secondly, fail forward: you’re either winning or you’re learning. There is no in between. Number three, entrepreneurship is being committing to your vision. Be the one that sticks around and stays consistent with their vision. Have true confidence in your business and in your product.

]]> Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Angela Scott, Founder From The Office of Angela Scott (Part 2) Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Angela Scott, Founder From The Office of Angela Scott (Part 2) Sat, 22 Oct 2022 23:00:00 GMT 3:51 85c45f8e-4fcf-11ed-b30d-274de5062a37 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e021c 653afa30238f6100125e021c 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 427 Today’s episode is a real goodie, I’m speaking to Angela Scott about her namesake brand From The Office of Angela Scott. 


Founded a decade ago for Women Who Mean Business™ The Office of Angela Scott is more than just a luxury footwear brand, it represents the collective power of all women. A perfect trifecta, The Office of Angela Scott is a woman-owned, woman-run and woman-funded brand designed to pave the way for professional women, one beautiful shoe at a time.


The lightbulb moment hit Angela being surrounded by a lot of men in business, footwear had always been her statement piece but she was seeing her heels get in the way of what she wanted to become as it was simply harder to get things done. With a clear vision in mind, Angela set off to produce her designs in Italy before pitching door-to-door in every little boutique she set her sights on. Ten years and a 10 million dollar business later, we reflect on the highs and lows of this journey, appreciating the true inflection point just two years ago where everything just started to click⁣.


But Angela’s story isn’t one of overnight success, she’s been grinding away and she shares so openly and honestly that it was only 2 years ago she felt a true inflection point where everything started to just click. 


This is an episode about that relentless pursuit and conviction about what you’re doing in the world and why you’re doing it. We speak about how she’s funded the business and why it’s important to ask for help and turn to the people around you, and some of her key learnings from along the way. Like the power of truly understanding your customer and putting them at the forefront of everything you do.

]]> Fave Hits: Reaching “overnight success” after 10 years, with Angela Scott (Part 1) Fave Hits: Reaching “overnight success” after 10 years, with Angela Scott (Part 1) Fri, 21 Oct 2022 11:00:00 GMT 47:30 f06cf2e8-4fce-11ed-b507-eb94bacc4a3e false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e021d 653afa30238f6100125e021d 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 426 Today’s episode is a real goodie, I’m speaking to Angela Scott about her namesake brand From The Office of Angela Scott. 


Founded a decade ago for Women Who Mean Business™ The Office of Angela Scott is more than just a luxury footwear brand, it represents the collective power of all women. A perfect trifecta, The Office of Angela Scott is a woman-owned, woman-run and woman-funded brand designed to pave the way for professional women, one beautiful shoe at a time.


The lightbulb moment hit Angela being surrounded by a lot of men in business, footwear had always been her statement piece but she was seeing her heels get in the way of what she wanted to become as it was simply harder to get things done. With a clear vision in mind, Angela set off to produce her designs in Italy before pitching door-to-door in every little boutique she set her sights on. Ten years and a 10 million dollar business later, we reflect on the highs and lows of this journey, appreciating the true inflection point just two years ago where everything just started to click⁣.


But Angela’s story isn’t one of overnight success, she’s been grinding away and she shares so openly and honestly that it was only 2 years ago she felt a true inflection point where everything started to just click. 


This is an episode about that relentless pursuit and conviction about what you’re doing in the world and why you’re doing it. We speak about how she’s funded the business and why it’s important to ask for help and turn to the people around you, and some of her key learnings from along the way. Like the power of truly understanding your customer and putting them at the forefront of everything you do.


Let’s get straight into it!

]]> Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Denise Woodard, Founder of Partake Foods (part 2) Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Denise Woodard, Founder of Partake Foods (part 2) Thu, 20 Oct 2022 11:00:00 GMT 4:24 0e5c46e0-4d9b-11ed-bda6-6b7c0d4c3d6a false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e021e 653afa30238f6100125e021e 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 425 Joining me on today’s episode is Denise Woodard, Founder of Partake food, the gluten-free, vegan, and allergy-friendly snack brand working to eradicate childhood food insecurity.⁣


The lightbulb moment came as Denise’s 1-year-old daughter Vivian was diagnosed with several difficult food allergies, both limiting her diet and making the eating process a whole less fun. A nudge in the right direction from nanny Matha, and a bump-in with a stranger suggesting Denise enter a local pitch competition, and Denise ended her decade long career with coca-cola to pursue this idea full-time⁣.


Partake was founded, the US-based line of super yummy snacks that are now in more than 6,000 retail stores across the US including Target and Whole Foods, on their mission to make better-for-you, safe snacking enjoyable, inclusive and accessible⁣


In this episode, we chat about Denise’s purpose-driven approach to creating this company, how she got the likes of Rihanna and Jay Z investing in her business, and what the early grind looked like for her when she was just starting out⁣. Some of our fave takeaways centre around the importance of getting as close to people as possible, using the value of email and text marketing (an absolute must in 2022!) and being willing to start small.

]]> Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Olivia Alexander, Founder of Kush Queen (Part 2) Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Olivia Alexander, Founder of Kush Queen (Part 2) Tue, 18 Oct 2022 11:00:00 GMT 13:02 b241767e-4d99-11ed-bfbc-af8f87d57643 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0220 653afa30238f6100125e0220 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 423 I’m so thrilled you’re tuning into this episode today with Olivia Alexander - the Founder of Kush Queen. 


Since 2015, Kush Queen has been committed to providing the finest cannabis, wellness, and lifestyle products. Under Olivia’s direction, Kush Queen has grown to become the premier female-focused cannabis lifestyle brand and has catapulted into a multi-million dollar company, distributed to 1000+ accounts, stocked in the likes of Urban Outfitters and partners with incredible brands like Alice and Olivia. 


In this episode we cover: 

  • Why it’s important to build your email and sms database over social media: and spoiler alert it’s because she learned the hard way when she lost an Instagram account with 3 million followers
  • The marketing risks she took that quantum leaped her forward 
  • How she overcomes the challenges that inherently come with working in this industry


I also loved her advice for other entrepreneurs out there. You need to know - being an entrepreneur is so challenging. You are setting yourself up every day for constant challenges. You can look at it as a challenge, or an opportunity. Olivia got so beaten down, that she got good at taking every challenge and turning it into an opportunity. And now Kush Queen is like family, and the business is almost like a human. Looking at the business like a human, like a living breathing human brings a lot of empathy into the business. In terms of work-life balance, in terms of culture. This will give you the confidence to take risks and act a little wild. There is a way to make calculated risks. Especially entrepreneurs that are just starting, you need to be empowered to know that those moments may come and you should bet on yourself. Bet on you. What you know. Your experience. Your passion. You’ve got this.

]]> 6 quick questions with Lily Dempster, Founder of One Small Step (part 2) 6 quick questions with Lily Dempster, Founder of One Small Step (part 2) Thu, 29 Sep 2022 11:00:00 GMT 10:00 e6522984-3fe0-11ed-afec-5f0d89927f36 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0222 653afa30238f6100125e0222 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 421 Today we’re learning from Lily Dempster, the founder of One Small Step app.


One Small Step is a social enterprise that uses technology and behavioural science to make it easy and rewarding for people to successfully adopt greener habits and reduce their carbon emissions. Their vision is to harness the best aspects of humanity to help avert the climate crisis and secure an environmentally-healthy future. It’s designed to help millions of people reduce their carbon emissions and offers a clear path to personal net zero emissions and climate positivity through the delivery of free science-based, data-informed courses and habits.


One Small Step gives clarity on the impact of the food you eat, the purchases you make, how you travel, the energy you use, and the waste you produce. It then provides solutions via easy, step-by-step courses to reduce emissions, with the option to switch to trusted sustainability products & services.


This was such an interesting episode for me! I’m less in the loop when it comes to the blueprint of building an app and acquiring users so I learnt a lot and I’m sure you will too. I also loved hearing about the things that Lily would do differently if she had a chance to start up again. When it comes to investing, it's important to remember that it's an ambitious and massive undertaking. Not having a strong revenue loop built in from the outset has made it harder because you're spending so much energy on the investment piece. It might have made more sense to get to their point of covering her own costs before embarking on that raise. In that case you're raising to scale up, not raising to surive. You'll have a much strong pitch.


And while I’ve got you here, remember to sign up to receive our weekly Hype-Girl hotline texts for a dose of motivation and joy. Head to our Norby link to sign up for free > femalestartupclub.norby.live

It’s designed to help millions of people reduce their carbon emissions and offers a clear path to personal net zero emissions and climate positivity through the delivery of free science-based, data-informed courses and habits.


One Small Step gives clarity on the impact of the food you eat, the purchases you make, how you travel, the energy you use, and the waste you produce. It then provides solutions via easy, step-by-step courses to reduce emissions, with the option to switch to trusted sustainability products & services.


This was such an interesting episode for me! I’m less in the loop when it comes to the blueprint of building an app and acquiring users so I learnt a lot and I’m sure you will too. I also loved hearing about the things that Lily would do differently if she had a chance to start up again. When it comes to investing, it's important to remember that it's an ambitious and massive undertaking. Not having a strong revenue loop built in from the outset has made it harder because you're spending so much energy on the investment piece. It might have made more sense to get to their point of covering her own costs before embarking on that raise. In that case you're raising to scale up, not raising to surive. You'll have a much strong pitch.

]]> 6 Quick Questions with Zara Saleem, Founder of Delhicious (part 2) 6 Quick Questions with Zara Saleem, Founder of Delhicious (part 2) Tue, 27 Sep 2022 11:00:00 GMT 6:53 bc1ee27c-3db2-11ed-8e60-ef706944993c false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0224 653afa30238f6100125e0224 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 419 Today we’re learning from Zara Saleem, the founder of Delhicious. A 100% natural Ayurvedic-inspired skincare brand that started in her kitchen while on mat leave.


And this has many important insights packed in here; for Zara it was a veryyyy slow start but at some point, the TikTok gods kicked in and changed the game. We also talk about how hard the challenges of building a business are, especially when we see the highlights splashed across social media. I loved this episode and felt like we can all relate to the ups and downs of building a business and what it truly entails.


When it comes to the financials, Zara was able to bootstrap Delhicious with a slow and steady approach. Starting with just a couple of hundred pounds, she was able to just wing it and see how far she could take this. Skincare's low barrier to entry is a huge help when it comes to this, it's totally doable to start a skincare business with a low initial investment. Start scrappy, go slow, prove out the concept, and just start there. If you're going to spend too much too early, you're going to feel that. More so emotionally you're going to feel that loss. So as much as you can, save and do things yourself before letting go. Relieve some of that pressure off your shoulders.


This was such an inspirational story that shows there is absolutely nothing truly stopping you from starting a business today.

Silk + Sonder is a guided self care and mental wellness platform and community, generating millions of dollars in recurring revenue and serving tens of thousands of women across the US.


I thought this episode was so cool because Meha is a pro at blending DTC with tech and community. We talk through her start and how she got her first customers, what makes her community sticky and the lessons she learned from raising millions of dollars in capital; and it’s not what you might think!


Meha ended up raising $4M across a pre-seed and a seed back in 2020, and I was so excited to dig into her story. The first thing to remember is that getting your first cheque doesn’t make the other cheques magically appear. Every investor is different, every investor cared about a different part of your business. You have to be able to speak to the power of community if that’s what they’re interested in, CPG if that’s what they’re interested in. Essentially, treat investors how you would treat your customers. And a real golden nugget is that going out to raise when you don’t necessarily need the funding is the best time to raise. It will allow you to run that process authentically which is so important.

We talk through her journey of building this business from the ground up but losing everything when the pandemic hit, the lessons she wishes she knew when she was starting out and how she approached global expansion.


When it comes to global expansion, there are two main points. Firstly, don’t expand globally if you’re not profitable and highly successful in the country where you started. Secondly, you really have to be there. Launching in another country is no different than launching in the country where you’re from. The reason it works is that you’re present, you’re available. Rebecca owes her success to the luxury she had to fly and to actually be there, boots on the ground. That first interaction. Showing face. It's absolutely key to dive into the country, the culture, the dynamic of the business relations, and really understand that interaction. Have the respect and time to join it. And if you physically can’t do it, to make sure to hire someone who is perfectly aligned with your mission and ready to communicate all those learnings to your partners directly. 


And remember to join our waitlist at femalestartupclub.com/waitlist ahead of our upcoming announcement! I’m excited to tell you more in the coming weeks!

She is the only solo female founder in the No & Low drinks category in the UK, having launched her tropical non-alcoholic spirits brand, 3 and a half years ago.


This is a really inspiring story. Ellie’s launch plan totally flipped on its head when she got an unexpected call from Sainbury’s - which is the biggest supermarket chain in the uk - and ultimately launched nationwide into 500 stores. We talk through how she had to pivot to raise capital, her most exciting marketing moments to date and her crazy moment on Emily in Paris.


Now, just quickly if you’re a hype girl for Female Startup Club we’re gearing up for our next launch and we’d love for you to be the first to know about it! Go to femalestartupclub.com/waitlist to join other women who are part of FSC and keep in the loop.

Aasiyah talks through her scrappy approach to marketing and finding her first thousand customers, the process to patenting a new product and her experience with raising capital.


Diving into the world of business and entrepreneurship has taught this first-time founder one very important lesson: you have to be shameless in order to succeed. Shamelessly ask, shamelessly promote, and shamelessly challenge the status quo."There's no such thing as a dumb question. You have to be shameless in order to grow." If you've ever been made to feel like you're asking a stupid question, you're probably asking the wrong person. The right partners, business or not, will make space for the seemingly silly questions to be answered with consideration and patience. Because there is no such thing as a silly question. Every question is valid, girl.

Small Packages helps you stay close to the people you care about, with curated gifts for every occasion. Their boxes are created with values-based sourcing, highlighting women- and BIPOC-owned small businesses, and come with a handwritten note.


We talk about her transition from attorney to entrepreneur, her pivots along the way and how she was able to acquire customers 2 at a time. The real gem in this episode is where Julie talks about her decision to bring on a co-founder and how that works!


We also dive into Julie's approach to funding, going the crowdfunding route. CPG and crowdfunding go together like peanut butter and jelly. When you have a product-based business, running a crowdfunding campaign as a launch campaign will give you much more than you might have bargained for. In the best way possible. By rewarding contributors with your products, you're given the chance to test and see what people are interested in. Fab! That's exactly what Julie did in crowdfunding through IFundWomen. People contributing would receive a particular product or prize depending on which price level they pledge ($$$) & these people would also serve as the first customers and users of the product. 


And while I’ve got you here -we have got something cooking and the time is fast approaching for us to release it!!! and I’m just so excited because it’s relevant to every single person listening to the show. Whether you own a business or not! If you head over to femalestartupclub.com/waitlist and pop your name there - you’ll be the first to know about it when we make the announcement.

]]> If you’re building a CBD business, you NEED to listen to these 7 major learnings from the founders shaping the industry right now If you’re building a CBD business, you NEED to listen to these 7 major learnings from the founders shaping the industry right now Sat, 03 Sep 2022 19:03:53 GMT 15:03 acc23832-2b75-11ed-b7ef-ffca483e1924 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0230 653afa30238f6100125e0230 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 407 Hi everyone! Doone here - your host and hype girl. Thank you for tuning in to my solo episode this week. 



This week, I’m digging through the archives all the way back to the early days of Female Startup Club to unearth the lessons shared by female pioneers in the controversial, exciting and ever-evolving CBD industry. Since cannabis is progessively legalising across countries and it’s demand has increased multifold, we’ve seen an influx of innovative women-led companies in the space. 



Although, we must note, not a particularly representative one. In 2022, the percentage of women holding these top position has dropped to 22%, down from 37% women in executive-level roles in 2017. Despite this decline of women-power in the space, I’ve had to chance to speak to a number of real hustlers in the space making a profound undeniable impact on the future of CBD, and I’m excited to share their biggest learnings with you here today. Let’s get straight into it. 



The first interview takes us back to the chat that I had last year with Valtina Milanova, the founder of Daye. Valentina is the creator of the first ever cannabis infused tampon, created to help with period cramps. Secondly we chat to Yugenials founder Nia Davies, as we dive into why it’s about time for consumer education and regulation to evolve more seriously in this space. We look back on the time the founders of Equilibria, Coco Meers and Marcy Capron-Vermillon showed us how to look at influencers as a relationship development partnership. 



Ok, that’s all for today! What I love about the female-founded cannabis space, is that the founders work together like a team. It’s a tight-knit community of strong women working together opposed to against eachother in their plight to educate the world on the positive effects of CBD and join forces in battling through those regulations. When you’re starting up a business in CBD as a woman not fighting against competition, you’re joining a team. We can all take a leaf out of that book. We also jump back to the basics on finding that gap in the market and how ​​Sagely Naturals founder Kerrigan Behrens started where I’m a big believer every brand should, looking at consumer insights. Next we reflect on our chat with Kiva Confections founder Kristi Palmer about the importance of packaging in gained consumer trust, before diving into the specifics of how the money piece comes together in building a brand in a high risk category such as this one from our conversation with Prima co-founder Lauren Angelica Myers. Before rounding off the episode with the story of the industries very own Kush Queen, Olivia Alexander, who has shown us like no other how a bad situation can turn out to be a stepping stone for greatness.

]]> 6 Quick Questions with Ali Clarke, Founder of Bondi Blades (part 2) 6 Quick Questions with Ali Clarke, Founder of Bondi Blades (part 2) Fri, 02 Sep 2022 11:00:00 GMT 5:36 2befe252-2aaa-11ed-88ff-330da07526a3 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0231 653afa30238f6100125e0231 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 406 Welcome back to the Female Startup Club podcast! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl. Today we’re learning from Ali Clarke, the woman behind Bondi Blades - Australia’s first at home derma razor company.


Bondi Blades launched as a pandemic baby with just a few hundred bucks and quickly turned into more than just a side hustle. Last year she did 1 million in revenue and is now stocked in more than 1000 stores in Australia alone! This episode is SO good because she breaks down her exact blueprint to getting her business off the ground and what she recommends every new founder do TODAY. The gem in this ep is where she breaks down her experience with cosmoprof trade show; what it cost her and the impact.


Some of her advice regarding cosmoprof centers around the idea that you should be well prepared when you decide to invest in a trade show of this kind and size. But that when that preparation is taken seriously, it also seriously pays off. Have a bit of data around you, shout loudly about anything that gives you credibility, and really show those retailers that there is an appetite for your product.


Today’s episode is powered by the lovely folks at DYMO which Ali uses every single day to help her business grow. They’ve been helping small biz owners just like Ali for over 60 years.


And while I’ve got you here -we have got something cooking and the time is fast approaching for us to release it!!! and I’m just so excited because it’s relevant to every single person listening to the show. Whether you own a business or not! If you head over to femalestartupclub.com/waitlist and pop your name there - you’ll be the first to know about it when we make the announcement. I would love for you to be part of it!

Doone here - your host and hype girl. Thank you for tuning into my mini solo episode this week. 


Whether you’ve been listening to the show for a while, or if you’ve been listening to the show just recently, you’ll know for a fact that I’m all. About. Tiktok. I feel like we’re in this magic time right now, similar to where we saw Instagram popping off circa 2015/2016, where we can still very much catch this wave on the way up. And for that reason, I just can’t stop telling everyone and anyone that I meet to grab this chance and just give this a really good go.


I’ve personally been putting so much effort into my channel and the results are just mindblowing. The more you put in - the more you get. And I’m not the most native person to the platform by any means. Firstly I’m 33. And I can’t dance for shit. The idea of filming myself and public speaking combined into one activity is probably the thing my nightmares are made of - which I know I know, I have a podcast so it should be easy - but still! It was a challenge I had to force myself to get used to and upskill in. but I’m absolutely certain that by investing so much time and energy into this thing now is going to pay off in a really big way and I’m also having a lot of fun with it - which is obviously KEY. 


And all of this, because of the guests that come on the show and share their wisdom with us. I have them to thank - literally. So today I’ll talk you through seven of the stories I’ve heard over the last year that have absolutely convinced me that getting onto TikTok is THE thing to drive both your personal and business brand moving forward from today. Yes today. You should create your account immediately if you haven’t done so already. 


Let’s get straight to it! This is me, for Female Startup Club.

]]> 6 quick questions with Amy Voloshin, Founder of PrintFresh (part 2) 6 quick questions with Amy Voloshin, Founder of PrintFresh (part 2) Thu, 25 Aug 2022 11:00:00 GMT 8:27 d344fc3a-23b2-11ed-80df-374e2ff1e3a9 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0234 653afa30238f6100125e0234 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 403 Today on the show we’re learning from Amy Voloshin, the founder of Printfresh.


A longtime lover of patterns and textiles, Amy founded Printfresh with her husband in 2016 as a way to combine a few of her greatest passions—quality fabrics, bold prints, and sustainable practices. What started as a tiny operation of Amy packing and shipping orders out of her house has since grown into a nationally recognized (and loved) sleepwear and lifestyle brand.


In this episode, we cover her major pivot from print studio to notebooks and pyjamas, how to get started with retail stockists, and bootstrapping her brand to $10m in revenue in 2021.


We also dive a little deeper into influencer marketing, and how amazing it has been for the growth of the business. It’s such a big part of putting our product out there. These days brands really have to figure that out, and it's been pivotal to Printfresh. Figuring out how you work with influencers, and how you want to pay them….There are so many different ways to navigate it. For Amy, their influencers have turned into some of our best advisors. It takes a long time to build. Some make fantastic partners, some aren’t right. But it's about navigating it, sticking with it, and figuring out who really aligns with your brand. 


And incase you missed me talking about this last week, we’ve just launched our 1800 - hype girl hotline powered by Norby and it’s soooo fun. It’s something I’ve been dreaming about starting since the beginning of Female Startup Club to bring a little more sparkle to the week. The way it works is you sign up to receive texts from us and then every Monday you receive a dose of motivation and good vibes directly to your inbox. Whether you’re a student, working 9-5 or an entrepreneur it’s literally for anyone. And it’s totally free - so sign up by clicking the link in the show notes or our IG bio and pop your number in to get going. I’m so hyped for this!!

]]> How to build a sustainable future: learn from 7 brands putting the planet first How to build a sustainable future: learn from 7 brands putting the planet first Fri, 19 Aug 2022 11:00:00 GMT 12:38 08532450-1e50-11ed-b637-ef7058e26db3 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0236 653afa30238f6100125e0236 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 401 Hi everyone! Doone here - your host and hype girl. Thank you for tuning in to my solo episode this week. 



Today, I want to dive into the blueprint of what it means to build a truly sustainable brand in 2022. To do this we’re learning from 7 guests we’ve had on the show who are putting the planet first. These are the brands leading the charge into a future where sustainability will be the rule over the exception.


It’s super relevant for any biz builders out there, because if you’re not incorporating the planet into your business model moving forward, you will be left behind. 66% of executives already believe a sustainability strategy to be a necessity in the market today, with 60% of consumers listing it as an important purchase criteria. I’m so sure that these numbers are only going to rise as we continue to feel to the harsh impact of climate change on our beautiful blue planet. 


While this is so much more than a passing fashion trend, there is no denying that sustainability has become a bit of a buzz word in recent years. It’s become so prolific it almost feels we’re losing touch with both how serious we should be taking it, and just how difficult it is to properly achieve. I’m proud to have had these women on the show both open my eyes to the reality of the industry, and help us navigate how to go about this the right way. Let’s jump straight into it. Here’s are 7 key learnings from brands that are truly putting the planet first. 


We learn from Kester Black founder Anna Ross about how you should incorporate sustainability in your business model from the get-go. From Charlotte Pienaar from Everyday Humans we’re reminded about the importance of focusing on the nitty gritty of the supply chain. Renewal Mill’s Caroline Cotto highlights the importance of finding your sustainability tribe along this journey. For Chippin’ founder Haley Russel it’s all about joining forces with your community to bring your product to life. In chatting to Isabel Aagaard from LastObject we’re reminded of the importance of true passion in what you’re building, whilst Blueland founder Sarah Paiji Yoo puts the greatest emphasis on the power of educating and empowering people to make better lifestyle choices. We round off the solo episode with a learnings from Repurpose founder Lauren Gropper on how to go the long-mile and not give up before you’ve reached your goals.

]]> 6 Quick Questions with Sam Safer Valentine, Founder of Norby (part 2) 6 Quick Questions with Sam Safer Valentine, Founder of Norby (part 2) Thu, 18 Aug 2022 11:00:00 GMT 12:04 6797fe12-1d89-11ed-91e7-c7f5f319bb9e false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0237 653afa30238f6100125e0237 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 400 Today on the show we’re learning from Sam Safer Valentine, one of the co-founders of tech startup Norby.


You might have heard us talking about Norby recently in one of our ads or across social media, and that’s because they’re one of our sponsors this month which is just so damn exciting.


In this episode, you’ll hear about Sam’s non-traditional pathway to the world of tech, what she learned from her first time raising capital, and her advice to you!


I particularly loved diving into the financial side of things, with Norby having raised an impressive $8.5M to date. Fundraising, as expected, was a complete rollercoaster. It's a number of things coming together in a beautiful recipe of numbers and traction, the wider environment, buzz, timing, where your competitors are, and finding the right partners and investors. With all that, it's important to keep a clear mind on who you want to raise money from and how you want to run your business. Just because someone wants to write you a cheque doesn't mean that it's the right fit for you, there needs to be a mutual benefit and partnership there.


Sam's key take-away when it comes to raising? Don't give up. You just need to get to one yes. That journey and that road are going to look entirely different for everyone. Sometimes your hit with a hundred no's, but it just takes that one 'yes' to turn everything around. So, if you believe in it, and you're going to bet on yourself, keep going. It just takes a little practice.


And while we’re on the topic of Norby, today we launched our 1800 - hype girl hotline powered by Norby and it’s soooo fun. It’s something I’ve been dreaming about starting since the beginning of Female Startup Club to bring a little more sparkle to the week. Basically you sign up to receive texts from us and then every Monday you receive a dose of motivation and good vibes directly to your inbox. Whether you’re a student, working 9-5, or an entrepreneur it’s literally for anyone. And it’s free - so sign up by clicking the link in the show notes or our IG bio and pop your number in to get going. I’m so hyped for this!!

]]> Norby Presents: The transition from a museum curator to a $8.3M VC-backed tech founder, with Norby’s co-founder Sam Safer Valentine (part 1) Norby Presents: The transition from a museum curator to a $8.3M VC-backed tech founder, with Norby’s co-founder Sam Safer Valentine (part 1) Wed, 17 Aug 2022 07:00:00 GMT 40:52 105a1a32-1d88-11ed-8109-4f85c79803e1 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0238 653afa30238f6100125e0238 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 399 Today on the show we’re learning from Sam Safer Valentine, one of the co-founders of tech startup Norby.


You might have heard us talking about Norby recently in one of our ads or across social media, and that’s because they’re one of our sponsors this month which is just so damn exciting.


In this episode, you’ll hear about Sam’s non-traditional pathway to the world of tech, what she learned from her first time raising capital, and her advice to you!


I particularly loved diving into the financial side of things, with Norby having raised an impressive $8.5M to date. Fundraising, as expected, was a complete rollercoaster. It's a number of things coming together in a beautiful recipe of numbers and traction, the wider environment, buzz, timing, where your competitors are, and finding the right partners and investors. With all that, it's important to keep a clear mind on who you want to raise money from and how you want to run your business. Just because someone wants to write you a cheque doesn't mean that it's the right fit for you, there needs to be a mutual benefit and partnership there.


Sam's key take-away when it comes to raising? Don't give up. You just need to get to one yes. That journey and that road are going to look entirely different for everyone. Sometimes your hit with a hundred no's, but it just takes that one 'yes' to turn everything around. So, if you believe in it, and you're going to bet on yourself, keep going. It just takes a little practice.


And while we’re on the topic of Norby, today we launched our 1800 - hype girl hotline powered by Norby and it’s soooo fun.

This episode was so damn cool, and I know you’re going to get so much out of this. Miki is the queen of disruptive marketing, we talk through how she takes a product and applies her framework to create intrigue and mystery which then creates buzz and more eyeballs. We also talk about what she did to raise millions of dollars and her advice for founders. And if you hang around to the end, we were lucky enough to meet her beautiful dad! Go check out the YouTube video on our channel.


Miki is an absolute marketing genius, and her magic lies in pulling that intrigue and taboo element out of the products she is selling. Using that intrigue in a way that supports the clickbait or the interest of the conversation. You can really take anything and make it intriguing based on what you attach it to. It all comes back to creativity. Everyone is creative, we just don't necessarily spend the time taking the noise out of our brains to have time to think. People are so busy reacting to the world around them that they don't give themselves the space to be creative. Creativity requires spaciousness, time, and presence.


Tuning into your creativity goes hand-in-hand with the changes in the narrative around things not being presented so perfect and crisp anymore. We're leaning more into sincerity and authenticity in 2022. This links back to the big rise in UGC over traditional commercials, something important to keep in mind for marketing moving into the future. Authentic recommendations and user-generated content perform so much better, commercials have started to feel phony. Do things DIY, and even if it's not perfect, that's the whole point. We are built for imperfection, that's the beauty of being human.


I’m so grateful that you’re tuning in today and I hope you love this episode as much as I did recording it.

Blume is what happens when you pair the benefits of the wellness aisle and the experience of a cafe. They’ve bootstrapped the company to 10M in sales making your favorite cafe lattes with the magic of superfoods from Vancouver Canada.


We’re talking through that first year of business and how she approached getting her first 1000 customers, bootstrapping the brand until now, and her learnings from her first raise of $2m.


Something pivotal during that raising period is that Karen realized that she was someone who wanted to do everything. Save every single penny. So sales and customer service herself. In fact, every role possible herself. It's crazy what automation on just a few of those things came to do for the scale of the business. For example, when the first hire in customer service joined the team it made such a huge difference to be able to delve into strategy, sales, and development. You can never do everything, but if you surround yourself with people who want to help you succeed you're onto a real winner.


The founder also delved into a couple of tips regarding their influencer marketing strategy. They found this unique audience that supported women and small businesses and wanted to be part of something from the beginning. This meant their ambassador community runs more of the business than meets the eye, they’re super involved. With this, you're able to expand by working directly with people that align with your brand mission.


And whilst we're here, just a quick shout out to all the amazing humans listening into these episodes. I’ve been so happy and grateful recently about what we’ve been able to achieve together, all because you are tuning into these episodes and supporting the show. We’ve got a few exciting things in the works that I can’t wait to share with you soon.

]]> 6 quick questions with Claire Xue, Founder of Moodelier (part 2) 6 quick questions with Claire Xue, Founder of Moodelier (part 2) Tue, 09 Aug 2022 11:00:00 GMT 7:49 786c0af2-1466-11ed-b2ab-ff143fe86080 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e023d 653afa30238f6100125e023d 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 394 Welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here. Your host and hype girl. Today's episode is presented in partnership with our pals at Norby - if you haven’t met them yet you should totally check them out!!! I use their software for my super cute link in bio and marketing tools that are created specifically for small business owners, content creators, and entrepreneurs like you and me.


In this episode, we’re going through Claire’s journey on creating the beautiful world of Moodelier, how she launched and got her first true fans, and her top pieces of advice.


Claire addresses the issue that having the longevity to run a sustainable business is hard, but exploring the option of different streams of revenue helps enormously. It's important not to have all your eggs in one basket when it comes to the success of your business. The same counts for your marketing strategy. Constant evolution is necessary.


Especially with the social media changes we're seeing at the moment, it's almost like everything you've been doing for the last 10 years is no longer working and serving. Figuring out a process for several platforms, and new platforms like TikTok. Trying out reels and video content, but also going to more in-person events, all comes together to give you a cushion when things undoubtedly change again.


And if you want to get a free month-long trial of Norby just head over to the show notes where you can find the link!

]]> 6 quick questions with Zoe Marshall, Founder of The Deep Podcast on Fire (part 2) 6 quick questions with Zoe Marshall, Founder of The Deep Podcast on Fire (part 2) Thu, 04 Aug 2022 07:00:00 GMT 10:22 d1a91e16-1380-11ed-8abb-fb03716eca74 true https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e023f 653afa30238f6100125e023f 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 392 Today on the show we are learning from Zoe Marshall. The founder and host of The Deep Podcast.


From terminal parents to sex workers, extremists, and drug addicts, The Deep is a place for thought-provoking conversations that help us explore who we are, when no one is looking.


Cracked wide open by her past trauma, grief, and abuse, Zoe holds the space for others to share their fascinating stories and perspectives through these deep conversations. I absolutely LOVED this episode, so much. We got down to the business model of how to monetize something that’s sensitive and sits almost in a taboo area. We also go through Zoe’s key learning in creating the show and her advice if you’re creating something that can be seen as taboo or even controversial.


What I love so much about this episode is that Zoe is a real advocate for not doing it for the money. We've all heard it before. Follow your heart, not your head. Satisfy your passion, not your bank account. It can be frustrating to hear when the bills need to be paid, but there's some real truth to it. And that's not something we chat about enough on the show.


Zoe's biz model with The Deep is essentially to provide great value to people. If more people followed this ideal, I think we, the planet, and our economy would all be a lot happier. If people see value in what you do, the money will follow naturally. Focus on your business and exceeding expectations, not how many figures you're bringing in. In the words of Zoe, don't be a slave to the dollars, and you'll be just fine. Come in clear with who you are, and what service you're giving the world and a lot of amazing things will come your way.


If you get something out of this episode and you love it just as much as I do, please do share it to your IG stories and tag us @femalestartupclub! I am forever grateful when you do that! And as you know you can always slide into my DM’s on IG to chat and tell me what you’re up to.

If you haven’t heard of LYMA before, it was started in 2018 as a powerful supplement specifically created to change people's lives by re-engineering nature to create products that actually live up to the promise and improve your health. LYMA fuses together wellness and technology, to lead the new WellTech category.


Lucy started this business after suffering serious health issues and meeting a scientist by chance who helped changed the course of her life. We talk through what they’ve been able to create, how she garnered a 5,000-person waitlist before launch, creating a product so good that it’s organically endorsed by celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Hailey Bieber, and what approach they take to marketing high-ticket items.


When it comes to the marketing piece, Lucy really opened my eyes to something I hadn't thought of before. Marketing historically was relatively simple. Now it’s much more complicated. Awareness is the key to having success long-term. If no one knows about your brand, no one knows about your product. It’s a really crowded space because it all goes through the same social channels to the same audience. That’s why you need to do something different. Understanding what doesn’t work and making those mistakes helps you understand what will work ultimately. 


One definitive point of difference is to be the first brand to disrupt and move the supplement category along, as LYMA is. A story such as this one is something that works brilliantly for scoring those first PR pieces. Lucy made sure to make LYMA an all-around PR-focused product ahead of the launch. Knowing that a point of difference would naturally lead to interest, they kept their pre-launch effort pretty innocuous and vague to really hone in on that FOMO effect. It is this strategy that guaranteed a mighty 5000 people waitlist before launch and their first 1000 customers.


If you get something out of this episode and you love it just as much as I do, please do share it to your IG stories and tag us! It makes me so happy when you do that.

]]> Today on the show we’re learning from Lucy Goff, the founder of LYMA. If you haven’t heard of LYMA before, it was started in 2018 as a powerful supplement specifically created to change people's lives by re-engineering nature to create products that actually live up to the promise and improve your health. LYMA fuses together wellness and technology, to lead the new WellTech category.


Lucy started this business after suffering serious health issues and meeting a scientist by chance who helped changed the course of her life. We talk through what they’ve been able to create, how she garnered a 5,000-person waitlist before launch, creating a product so good that it’s organically endorsed by celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Hailey Bieber, and what approach they take to marketing high-ticket items.


When it comes to the marketing piece, Lucy really opened my eyes to something I hadn't thought of before. Marketing historically was relatively simple. Now it’s much more complicated. Awareness is the key to having success long-term. If no one knows about your brand, no one knows about your product. It’s a really crowded space because it all goes through the same social channels to the same audience. That’s why you need to do something different. Understanding what doesn’t work and making those mistakes helps you understand what will work ultimately. 


One definitive point of difference is to be the first brand to disrupt and move the supplement category along, as LYMA is. A story such as this one is something that works brilliantly for scoring those first PR pieces. Lucy made sure to make LYMA an all-around PR-focused product ahead of the launch. Knowing that a point of difference would naturally lead to interest, they kept their pre-launch effort pretty innocuous and vague to really hone in on that FOMO effect. It is this strategy that guaranteed a mighty 5000 people waitlist before launch and their first 1000 customers.


If you get something out of this episode and you love it just as much as I do, please do share it to your IG stories and tag us! It makes me so happy when you do that.


Let’s get into this episode, this is Lucy for Female Startup Club.

]]> Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Stephanie Lee, Founder of SELFMADE (part 2) Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Stephanie Lee, Founder of SELFMADE (part 2) Sat, 30 Jul 2022 11:00:00 GMT 7:56 ce2784e0-0cf4-11ed-b4ea-4b1401451eb5 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0243 653afa30238f6100125e0243 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 388 This episode is with Stephanie Lee from SELFMADE.


SELFMADE is a culmination of Stephanie’s lived experiences and spurred from healing from her own mental health crisis. She began her journey as a field organizer on the Obama presidential campaign, and quickly moved to the White House where she worked for the First Lady Michelle Obama. She then changed direction from politics to the prestige of the beauty industry as a product developer at MAC Cosmetics in New York City. While dealing with depression and anxiety, she left the corporate world to travel the globe solo and hear from women about their experiences about their own self-worth and emotional wellbeing. That’s when SELFMADE was born.


So much about our wellness has to do with our ability to self-trust, and turn into our self-worth, rather than look outside of ourselves. But our whole world and society tell us to look outside of ourselves. How do you gain that self-gain and trust? Beauty is something where women are already spending so much money, so much time. Women are already taking care of themselves. So why not use that to inject credible mental health? How do you fall down, be vulnerable, ask for what you need, and try again? It’s micro-moments. It’s not one moment, it’s a series of moments and conversations that helped Stephanie come to a point where she might have an answer to this. 


We chat a lot about the pitfalls of perfectionism in this episode, something close to my heart that we chat about often on the podcast. How as a woman, if you’re planning to be an entrepreneur, perfectionism is hugely common. We need to employ the idea that we can just put something out there and iterate along the way. So much of our paralysis comes from spinning in circles around certain things and running circles, whilst part of it is just putting it out, seeing how people react, and then changing it. Psychologically, perfectionism stops you from having to face failure. But it actually keeps you from moving forward. You should do this for youself and everyone who needs this. Not to be perfect. 


If you love Stephanie’s story and you’re building an ecommerce brand in the beauty space, you might be interested in checking out our private network where you can access modern mentorship from women on the show, like-minded women in the ecommerce / cpg space and experts.

Andie is a swimwear company that makes the swimsuit shopping experience for women incredible through a tailored fit finder, a desirable returns policy, and relatable content.


Since their launch back in 2016 Andie has curated a well-rounded swimwear collection for every moment of your life, racking up over 100 styles with multiple texture and coverage options. The whole idea is that these pieces last longer than just one season, and you can bring them back out of your wardrobe time and time again. I love how inclusivity has been part of Andie's DNA since the get-go, with sizes ranging from XS to (recently) 5XL.


In this episode, we’re talking about how Mel launched a swimwear label in a competitive market, the process of validating her idea through a crowdfunding campaign, how an equity deal with her manufacturer enabled her to scale up in a really big way, and the steps the company took to grow their Instagram from 12k to almost 100k in just 2 years. 


Melanie dives into her different areas of focus at different stages of the business, something super interesting to get an insight into. Before launch, three workstreams were taking the majority of her time. Manufacturing, web design, and crowdfunding. She ended up with about 100K to do all of this. All that went to creating swimsuits and to a PR agency, part of the next step of the process. After having the swimsuits in hand, she decided very early on that one of the first places to invest would be PR. This is how you legitimize your business and get people to start talking about it in a serious way. After riding this PR way, Andie started investing in Facebook and Instagram advertising, leading to one of her biggest learnings since starting the business. This key bit of advice: learn how to work these social ads yourself. Don't just rely on outsourcing that, you are definitely going to need it at some point and the skills will come in very handy.


There are lots more pointers where that came from, so let's get straight into it.

]]> Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Fiona Chan, Founder of Youthforia (part 2) Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Fiona Chan, Founder of Youthforia (part 2) Tue, 26 Jul 2022 11:00:00 GMT 7:54 cafe23c8-0b6e-11ed-9d07-936f8aae01a7 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0247 653afa30238f6100125e0247 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 384 Hey everyone! Doone here. Your host and hype girl. Today on the show we’re learning from Fiona Chan, the founder behind a brand called Youthforia. While they’ve only launched just last year they’ve managed to build some crazy buzz in the beauty industry garnering more than 50m views on tiktok and growing! 


At Youthforia, they believe that makeup is an extension of your skincare. All of their products are formulated to be so good for your skin, you can sleep in it. Fiona actually tests all of their products by sleeping in it for an extended period of time. And so does her husband. Most conventional makeup brands formulate with fossil fuels and liquid plastics, which can be harmful or irritating for the skin. Instead, Youthforia uses skin friendly plant based ingredients to provide luxurious textures and targeted treatments for your skin. Heaven, right? 


In this ep, we’re chatting about the beauty industry as a whole and Fiona’s advice for standing out in a saturated space, how she harnessed the power of tiktok to get traction and commits to creating 2 videos a day AND why you should get onto Supergreat if you’re in the beauty industry. 


Youthforia is seriously killing the TT game. Currently boasting a modest 1.4M likes, we had to know the secret. Fiona’s strategy comes down to three overarching principles she was able to share with us, starting with consistency. Create at least two TikTok videos a day if you’re going to take this seriously. You never know until you actually do it what will resonate with your audience - it’s a numbers game. But keep in mind: lean into what you’re able to commit to. If you’re going to create this much content, pick a content style that’s easy for you.


Secondly, make sure it's relevant. Create a product that works well for the platform. Products that are visual, stand out and get influencers on TikTok talking about your brand. It’s important to keep your pulse on the trends. It’s a very reactive platform and what will perform well is heavily dependent on what’s going on that week.


And lastly, intimacy. As a founder, be the face of the brand. Let your audience get to know you. Vids with the storytelling about your background and why you created the product tend to perform very well. Use your individuality as your superpower.


Now, let's get straight into it.

]]> Hey everyone! Doone here. Your host and hype girl. Today on the show we’re learning from Fiona Chan, the founder behind a brand called Youthforia. While they’ve only launched just last year they’ve managed to build some crazy buzz in the beauty industry garnering more than 50m views on tiktok and growing! 


At Youthforia, they believe that makeup is an extension of your skincare. All of their products are formulated to be so good for your skin, you can sleep in it. Fiona actually tests all of their products by sleeping in it for an extended period of time. And so does her husband. Most conventional makeup brands formulate with fossil fuels and liquid plastics, which can be harmful or irritating for the skin. Instead, Youthforia uses skin friendly plant based ingredients to provide luxurious textures and targeted treatments for your skin. Heaven, right? 


In this ep, we’re chatting about the beauty industry as a whole and Fiona’s advice for standing out in a saturated space, how she harnessed the power of tiktok to get traction and commits to creating 2 videos a day AND why you should get onto Supergreat if you’re in the beauty industry. 


Youthforia is seriously killing the TT game. Currently boasting a modest 1.4M likes, we had to know the secret. Fiona’s strategy comes down to three overarching principles she was able to share with us, starting with consistency. Create at least two TikTok videos a day if you’re going to take this seriously. You never know until you actually do it what will resonate with your audience - it’s a numbers game. But keep in mind: lean into what you’re able to commit to. If you’re going to create this much content, pick a content style that’s easy for you.


Secondly, make sure it's relevant. Create a product that works well for the platform. Products that are visual, stand out and get influencers on TikTok talking about your brand. It’s important to keep your pulse on the trends. It’s a very reactive platform and what will perform well is heavily dependent on what’s going on that week.


And lastly, intimacy. As a founder, be the face of the brand. Let your audience get to know you. Vids with the storytelling about your background and why you created the product tend to perform very well. Use your individuality as your superpower.


Now, let's get straight into it.

]]> Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Jessica Warch,Founder of Kimai (part 2) Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Jessica Warch,Founder of Kimai (part 2) Sat, 23 Jul 2022 11:00:00 GMT 11:59 ad3be754-0901-11ed-9911-3f6773531c9e false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0249 653afa30238f6100125e0249 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 382 Today on the show we’re learning from the co-founder of London based jewellery brand Kimai.


Kimai is a modern fine jewelry brand that delivers true traceability by using lab-grown diamonds and recycled 18k gold. By using lab-grown diamonds – which are physically and chemically identical to those that are mined – and recycled gold, they cut out all mines and middlemen and control the whole jewelry process, from design to delivery. They operate on a mission to prove that diamond mines are not forever, and that the biggest luxury is knowing where your jewellery comes from, and safe in the knowledge that it doesn't harm people or the planet.


In this episode, we chat through the serendipitous moment that generated $150,000 worth of sales, her approach to fundraising and how they built a new brand in the midst of a pandemic. 


It's a good little reminder that if you thought cold emailing was outdated, it might be time to change your mind. Jessica talks us through a mind-blowing story that reminded me just how important it is to try your luck. No matter how big the goal. Jessica is a strong believer in cold emails. She cold emails everyone. Even investors. Looking online, figuring emails, guessing emails, or finding them.


The Kimai founders were on the hunt for the perfect match for their brand and landed on Meghan Markle. She was the dream. But how do you reach royalty? Looking into her close network to figure out how can we get in touch with her and how can we tell her our story. Through a few cold emails, they got her to wear their products a few months after launch. Their strategy was all around looking at her close friends that might be more accessible than she is. With the help of LinkedIn, Facebook, and guessing emails, the girls gave themselves the chance at a stage on which to tell their story. Why they’re doing what they’re doing. And Meghan loved it. They ended up selling to Meghan through cold emailing a friend, and the rest is history. In the 2-3 weeks after she wore the earrings, they made $150,000 without any marketing. They then took advantage of that situation to go and fundraise with the advice: take advantage of the situation because you never know what happens afterward. A $1.2M seed funding round later, this is clearly a fairytale ending.


Now, let's get straight into it.

]]> Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Margaret Wishingrad, Founder of Three Wishes Cereals (part 2) Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Margaret Wishingrad, Founder of Three Wishes Cereals (part 2) Thu, 21 Jul 2022 11:00:00 GMT 5:41 1f781ab4-077b-11ed-82e0-178e870639b8 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e024b 653afa30238f6100125e024b 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 380 Today I’m joined by Margaret Wishingrad, Founder of Three Wishes Cereal. 


In the 12 months since launching, Margaret and her husband slash business partner Ian have built a multi-million dollar business through thoughtful retail expansion, unique guerrilla marketing moments, and a tasty better-for-you product that people want to keep buying. We’re going through the blueprint to launch and why it’s important to keep your customers' behavior front of mind. 


Three Wishes is a healthy cereal that tastes like childhood indulgence, led by the cereal aisle’s first female founder, Margaret Wishingrad. While other cereals on the shelf force customers to choose between flavor and nutrition, there’s no compromise with Three Wishes. It’s high protein, low sugar, gluten and grain-free, and made from ingredients like chickpeas, pea protein, and tapioca. 


In this episode, we discuss Three Wishes' extremely successful launch strategy, how to go about the financials after making sure you have a great minimum viable product, and making sure to get your product on Amazon.


I absolutely loved chatting to someone who's such an innovator in a traditional space. Our top five learnings (it was hard to narrow it down!) from chatting with Margaret are the following:

  • There is no ‘too early', once you have a product that you’re comfortable with and ready to get into retail you should start talking to those buyers
  • When something isn't working, instead of freaking out and not knowing what do, take a step back, pivot quick, change and keep going
  • Having the flexibility and understanding of how to quickly turn things around and be resourceful is an absolute saving grace 
  • A total of 45% of searches begin on Amazon, it’s a search engine in its own right and for that reason a very important channel to focus on. 
  • If you're scared to get started, yank the band-aid, just go for it - whatever is holding you back, look it in the eye, just go for it

I absolutely loved chatting to someone who's such an innovator in a traditional space. Our top five learnings (it was hard to narrow it down!) from chatting with Margaret are the following:

  • There is no ‘too early', once you have a product that you’re comfortable with and ready to get into retail you should start talking to those buyers
  • When something isn't working, instead of freaking out and not knowing what do, take a step back, pivot quick, change and keep going
  • Having the flexibility and understanding of how to quickly turn things around and be resourceful is an absolute saving grace 
  • A total of 45% of searches begin on Amazon, it’s a search engine in its own right and for that reason a very important channel to focus on. 
  • If you're scared to get started, yank the band-aid, just go for it - whatever is holding you back, look it in the eye, just go for it

]]> Today I’m joined by Margaret Wishingrad, Founder of Three Wishes Cereal. 


In the 12 months since launching, Margaret and her husband slash business partner Ian have built a multi-million dollar business through thoughtful retail expansion, unique guerrilla marketing moments, and a tasty better-for-you product that people want to keep buying. We’re going through the blueprint to launch and why it’s important to keep your customers' behavior front of mind. 


Three Wishes is a healthy cereal that tastes like childhood indulgence, led by the cereal aisle’s first female founder, Margaret Wishingrad. While other cereals on the shelf force customers to choose between flavor and nutrition, there’s no compromise with Three Wishes. It’s high protein, low sugar, gluten and grain-free, and made from ingredients like chickpeas, pea protein, and tapioca. 


In this episode, we discuss Three Wishes' extremely successful launch strategy, how to go about the financials after making sure you have a great minimum viable product, and making sure to get your product on Amazon.

]]> Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Michelle Cordeiro Grant, Founder of Lively (part 2) Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Michelle Cordeiro Grant, Founder of Lively (part 2) Tue, 19 Jul 2022 11:00:00 GMT 4:50 6648f462-074a-11ed-b37f-f3df32566793 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e024d 653afa30238f6100125e024d 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 378 We’ve got Michelle Cordeiro Grant, the founder of LIVELY, talking us through how she founded and sold her company within 3 quick years for 105 million dollars. I. know. It’s crazy but the story is even crazier. I don’t want to give too much away but we talk through her unique launch that was a combination of strategy and luck, generating 130k emails in 48 hours. 


LIVELY is a brand that empowers women and provides a sense of community. They deliver lingerie, activewear, swimwear, loungewear, and self-care that take the best elements of high-style and ultimate comfort from each category to achieve a brand new POV of lingerie called Leisurée. 


But it’s more than its product — since launching in 2016, LIVELY has built an Ambassador network of 150,000+ members, opened four retail stores, developed several sustainable product collections, maintained its commitment to “Price Equality,” hosted hundreds of IRL and virtual events, launched a podcast, provided a platform for its community to share their passions and projects, and developed retail partnerships with Nordstrom, Madewell, and Target (launching a diffusion line called All. You. LIVELY with Target.com and select stores). 


Growing from its concept stage, to $15m in funding to fuel its growth, all the way to an acquisition of $105M by Wacoal in 2019, LIVELY is poised to grow even more and make bigger and bolder strides towards its mission of inclusivity, community, sustainability, and accessibility. LIVELY is an experience and mindset that reminds, inspires, and enables its customers to live life passionately, purposefully, and confidently, doing what they love, with the people they love.


The key learning here is that Michelle is an absolute queen at building community. “The secret is to build a brand, with the world. Not to build a brand and try and sell it to the world. Let’s build this thing together.” This is two-fold. Building a community digitally, and also bringing women in physically. Build the relationship, and then build the machine. And they didn’t build the machine (LIVELY) until 1.5 years after the community was founded. It is important to get people on board that know how to take content, are passionate about showing their personal brand and then simply reach out to them. When it comes to the physical, the magic of focus groups is that they create invaluable data. Physical focus groups help you understand whether this is the image, this is the focus, or this is the tagline. It does take time. But when you know all your focus women are on board, you have the confidence that this content is going.


Now, let's get to it.

]]> Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Ju Rhyu, Founder of Hero Cosmetics (part 2) Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Ju Rhyu, Founder of Hero Cosmetics (part 2) Sun, 17 Jul 2022 11:00:00 GMT 8:44 7aa3cb7c-02cb-11ed-b2a7-4b19ee8bcd3e false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e024f 653afa30238f6100125e024f 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 376 Joining me on the show today is Ju Rhyu, Founder of Hero Cosmetics. 


Hero makes super-powered skincare products to put you back in control of your skin and to help restore your confidence and they’re best known for their Mighty Patch acne patches. And here’s a super fun fact, they sell a box every 15 seconds with over 2 million boxes sold in over 8,500 retail doors.


That’s pretty Mighty I have to say, right? But what’s even crazier is that I just did a quick google of her last week when I was making a TikTok biz breakdown of the Hero journey and now she boasts of selling a product every 3 seconds. THREE Seconds. Can you imagine? In 2021 last year she did more than 100 million dollars in annual rev, in just 5 years of starting her biz. If that’s not wildly inspiring I don’t know what is. 


I discussed all sorts of things with Ju—from how she launched her brand exclusively through Amazon to how she found a manufacturer in South Korea and how she goes about driving crazy growth. But there’s one key takeaway in particular that I want to focus on today: Bootstrapping puts focus on profitability. 


Together with her two co-founders, each partner put personal capital into a dedicated bank account to get the business going. Many startup entrepreneurs find that having limited capital can prove to be a blessing in disguise. Because having a tight budget forces you to think twice about every move and be resourceful and creative. Further down the line, showing an investor that you’ve gone through this process and made it to the other side can be seen as a big plus for credibility and ultimately set you a higher valuation for the business. 


 Bootstrapping was good because it forced them to really focus on being profitable from the very beginning. They couldn’t pay themselves fancy salaries or spend too much on PR firms and those kinds of things. So it was ‘boots to the ground, approach’ which means they were always really resourceful. Which in turn makes them more attractive as a business to investors.


And I think this is such a key insight. We can get caught up in these stories and articles we read in the media celebrating founders who are going out raising millions of dollars before even launching a product and think that’s what we should be doing, but having to prove out your concept first, get traction and actually build a profitable business will put you in a much better position to raise down the track if you need to. Focus on bootstrapping your business in the beginning until you’ve proven traction and figured out the foundations. You might then find you don’t need to raise.  


In this episode, we’re covering why they decided to launch the brand exclusively through amazon, how she went about finding her manufacturer and what they do today to drive crazy growth.

And here’s a super fun fact, they sell a box every 15 seconds with over 2 million boxes sold in over 8,500 retail doors.


That’s pretty Mighty I have to say, right? But what’s even crazier is that I just did a quick google of her last week when I was making a TikTok biz breakdown of the Hero journey and now she boasts of selling a product every 3 seconds. THREE Seconds. Can you imagine? In 2021 last year she did more than 100 million dollars in annual rev, in just 5 years of starting her biz. If that’s not wildly inspiring I don’t know what is. 


I discussed all sorts of things with Ju—from how she launched her brand exclusively through Amazon to how she found a manufacturer in South Korea and how she goes about driving crazy growth. But there’s one key takeaway in particular that I want to focus on today: Bootstrapping puts focus on profitability. 


Together with her two co-founders, each partner put personal capital into a dedicated bank account to get the business going. Many startup entrepreneurs find that having limited capital can prove to be a blessing in disguise. Because having a tight budget forces you to think twice about every move and be resourceful and creative. Further down the line, showing an investor that you’ve gone through this process and made it to the other side can be seen as a big plus for credibility and ultimately set you a higher valuation for the business. 


 Bootstrapping was good because it forced them to really focus on being profitable from the very beginning. They couldn’t pay themselves fancy salaries or spend too much on PR firms and those kinds of things. So it was ‘boots to the ground, approach’ which means they were always really resourceful. Which in turn makes them more attractive as a business to investors.


And I think this is such a key insight. We can get caught up in these stories and articles we read in the media celebrating founders who are going out raising millions of dollars before even launching a product and think that’s what we should be doing, but having to prove out your concept first, get traction and actually build a profitable business will put you in a much better position to raise down the track if you need to. Focus on bootstrapping your business in the beginning until you’ve proven traction and figured out the foundations. You might then find you don’t need to raise.  


In this episode, we’re covering why they decided to launch the brand exclusively through amazon, how she went about finding her manufacturer and what they do today to drive crazy growth.

It’s with a friend of mine, who you probably have seen on the likes of Instagram doing her super cool things. Lil is Australia’s favorite woman. Truly. How Lil Ahenkan (aka Flex Mami) built her empire, Flex Factory, through deep conversations talking about sex, life, and everything in between.


It’s a big call, I know, but she’s definitely one of mine and I know a lotta folks who agree with me. My bet is she’s about to be one of yours. She’s a dj, podcaster, best-selling author, diy guru, hilarious Instagrammer as well as an entrepreneur. And a damn good one, at that. So in this episode let us take you behind the scenes into her story, but first - and if you haven’t been blessed with her content on Instagram - just pop on over. Have a quick peek. Have a lol. Do some critical thinking and then come on back to listen to how she’s built her colourful world and business, Flex Factory.


For Lil it's nice to be working on the business every day, chipping away at it, working intentionally, because it does make the biggest difference. I love Lil's approach to the financial part of the puzzle. She's always - are the numbers reflecting our efforts? Are the numbers reflecting our decisions? If not, they're not doing it properly. Initially, she thought this was a really stringent and restrictive way to run the business. How can you be your full creative self if you have to think about numbers? But now, she loves seeing really clear boundaries and restrictions. Within that perimeter, you can make the best creative decisions. Knowing what you have, what you don’t have, what you need, what you don’t need.


Let's get straight into it.

]]> Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Lezlie Karls, Co - Founder of Mid-Day Squares (part 2) Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Lezlie Karls, Co - Founder of Mid-Day Squares (part 2) Wed, 13 Jul 2022 11:00:00 GMT 7:39 104ed916-01f8-11ed-bb31-dbfaf8ddefb0 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0253 653afa30238f6100125e0253 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 172 Today we are learning from Lezlie Karls, Co-Founder of Mid-Day Squares. What are Mid-Day Squares I hear you ask: They’re vegan protein bars that are also known as little pieces of heaven perfectly designed to stop your hunger or cravings in between meals. And they’re on a Mission To Take Over The World Of Healthy Snacks.


In this episode we’re talking about a solid 10/10 sampling program they launched with overcoming hurdles with manufacturing and operations, turning down an acquisition and some crazy drama they went through when Hershey’s came banging on their door with a cease and desist.


We cover so much in this incredible chat - she’s a real force to be reckoned with. Now a killing entrepreneur, Lezlie also bravely opens up about what it means to fail a business. How to fail, make the cut, and move on. We learn a lot from others’ successes, but there’s undoubtedly, even more, to learn about failures. They’re just a little bit trickier to talk about.


Lezlie had no trouble pinpointing the exact reason her beloved luxury fashion brand, Hector, failed. And in this conversation, she’s ready to pass on her lessons. Number one derives from becoming a consumer of your own product, as is now the case with Mid-Day Squares. Number two is all about having those around you being able to support your product. Clothing line Hector was within the 1% price point. We’re talking high-end fashion. This meant Lezlie’s community couldn’t afford to support her. When launching Mid-Day Squares it became easy for people to buy her product. Easy for people to support. This all helps create virality. Number three is all around not putting herself out there enough. She was always behind the scenes. What is more engaging than seeing a 23-year-old running around NYC in heels trying to get into stores? If that’s not inspiring, I don’t know what is. But she didn’t show that. She didn’t know how to. How to tell her story. How to put herself out there. How to market herself.


At one point you need to know how to shut something down. A good Founder knows how to throw in the towel. So, she did. After 3 years. Took some time off and realized what to do differently in the next venture. Learning about Mid-Day squares you see how all of these learnings have really come into play to her approach this time around, and just goes to show how valuable it is to learn from your mistakes. Let's get stuck in!

]]> 6 Quick Questions with Nicole Centeno, founder of Splendid Spoon (part 2) 6 Quick Questions with Nicole Centeno, founder of Splendid Spoon (part 2) Sun, 10 Jul 2022 11:00:00 GMT 8:12 3563d9ec-0101-11ed-b356-8fd0267fcb72 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0255 653afa30238f6100125e0255 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 370 Today on the show we’re learning from Nicole Centeno, the founder of Splendid Spoon.


The spark for Splendid Spoon came to Nicole in 2012. Working at Condé Nast and pregnant with her first son Grover, she came to realize how unattainable it was to achieve a healthy lifestyle alongside a demanding career and the day-to-day realities of being a working parent. What she wanted was to find a way to make nutritious, and, importantly, delicious plant-based food accessible to everyday Americans.


While working full time, Nicole began attending culinary school, dabbling in catering (by delivering soups on her lunch break that she’d cooked earlier that morning!), hosting pop-ups, and teaching cooking/nutrition courses at Columbia University. These experiences — coupled with her studies in diet therapies, a penchant for entrepreneurship, and a conviction that there must be a better way to eat well — convinced Nicole to take the leap and leave her corporate career to pursue food full-time.


What I love about this story, is that Nicole talks about having none of the business language, but all of the instincts when she was first starting out. She knew how to ask for things, she knew where she needed to get to but just didn’t have the language or the model to explain these things. This is so often the case for first-time founders. We know where we're going, and we have a plan, but we don’t speak the business jargon. In the end, the magic lay in being very passionate about what she believed in. That was the most powerful part of it. People had the conviction that she would keep trying. Had that tenacity, She had a story. With the key pieces to convince someone that she could make this bigger, she could get stuck in.


We’re covering her journey of side-hustle to 8-figure biz, the challenges that the food industry faces, and how to do a friends and family round. So much good stuff in here I know you’re going to love it!


And remember that if you want a signed copy of my book, this week and next I’m sending them out to anyone who creates a TikTok video about Female Startup Club. All you need to do is post the video and slide into my inbox at hello@femalestartupclub.com.


Have the best day and enjoy the episode, this is Nicole for Female Startup Club

]]> Today on the show we’re learning from Nicole Centeno, the founder of Splendid Spoon.


The spark for Splendid Spoon came to Nicole in 2012. Working at Condé Nast and pregnant with her first son Grover, she came to realize how unattainable it was to achieve a healthy lifestyle alongside a demanding career and the day-to-day realities of being a working parent. What she wanted was to find a way to make nutritious, and, importantly, delicious plant-based food accessible to everyday Americans.


While working full time, Nicole began attending culinary school, dabbling in catering (by delivering soups on her lunch break that she’d cooked earlier that morning!), hosting pop-ups, and teaching cooking/nutrition courses at Columbia University. These experiences — coupled with her studies in diet therapies, a penchant for entrepreneurship, and a conviction that there must be a better way to eat well — convinced Nicole to take the leap and leave her corporate career to pursue food full-time.


What I love about this story, is that Nicole talks about having none of the business language, but all of the instincts when she was first starting out. She knew how to ask for things, she knew where she needed to get to but just didn’t have the language or the model to explain these things. This is so often the case for first-time founders. We know where we're going, and we have a plan, but we don’t speak the business jargon. In the end, the magic lay in being very passionate about what she believed in. That was the most powerful part of it. People had the conviction that she would keep trying. Had that tenacity, She had a story. With the key pieces to convince someone that she could make this bigger, she could get stuck in.


We’re covering her journey of side-hustle to 8-figure biz, the challenges that the food industry faces, and how to do a friends and family round. So much good stuff in here I know you’re going to love it!


And remember that if you want a signed copy of my book, this week and next I’m sending them out to anyone who creates a TikTok video about Female Startup Club. All you need to do is post the video and slide into my inbox at hello@femalestartupclub.com.


Have the best day and enjoy the episode, this is Nicole for Female Startup Club

]]> How to build a 9-figure empire How to build a 9-figure empire Fri, 08 Jul 2022 11:00:00 GMT 11:36 42097d38-fd54-11ec-8c42-c7bd058e2b78 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0257 653afa30238f6100125e0257 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 368 Hi everyone! Doone here - your host and hype girl. Thank you for tuning in to my solo episode this week.


Today is all about diving into the learnings of some of the highest rev-generating business founders that we’ve had on the show, those producing around the 9-figure mark. For those counting numbers in their heads right now, that’s revenue of 100 mil and above. Don’t worry, it took me a quick google search myself. This is an impressive and particularly interesting milestone for a business because of many reasons. It’s often said that in order to be considered as a potential investment by VCs, you should tell a convincing story which could catapult your startup to forecasts in the $100M annual rev mark. In other words, should a $100M revenue look realistic some point in your future, you’ll be catching some serious VC eyeballs. The funny thing is that when we look at the numbers, only 0.04% of companies ever reach that mark. And I can imagine that when we look at women-founded companies we can look to add another load of zero’s in front of that number. These are pretty slim chances of success, giving all the more praise to the female founders we’ve had on the show that are actively breaking through this glass ceiling. 


On that note, I’m a bit hesitant to call these founders the most successful founders we’ve had on the show. Success in business isn’t just down to the level of revenue you’re creating. Whilst it’s important to audit what success looks like to you, there def isn’t a one size fits all approach here. You can aim for growth. You can aim for building an amazing community. You can aim for fame. You can aim for a sense of fulfillment. You can aim for happiness. 


So, let’s get listening to the key learnings from the highest revenue generating business owners we’ve had on the show. Keep a pen and notepad at the ready, there is a LOT of food for thought here. Thank you so much for listening in. These are five women and conversations that have resonated with me enormously over the life-time of Female Startup Club, and I hope you’re able to get as much out of their journeys as I have. I’ll link each of their episodes in the show-notes if you want to dive deeper into each of their journeys. 


And as always if you’re on your phone listening to this episode take a quick screenshot of the podcast and share it to your Instagram stories or leave us a review in your podcast app to help other ears find us. And of course… You’re always welcome to slide into DMs or my inbox bc you know how much I love to chat. Feel free to ask me any questions or share what you’re thinking.

]]> 6 quick questions with Samantha Brett, Founder of Naked Sundays (part 2/2) 6 quick questions with Samantha Brett, Founder of Naked Sundays (part 2/2) Thu, 07 Jul 2022 11:00:00 GMT 11:30 54abfc3c-fc77-11ec-9fb7-e364bae17deb false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0258 653afa30238f6100125e0258 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 367 Today we’re learning from Samantha Brett who is the founder of Naked Sundays.


Naked Sundays is an Australian SPF brand aimed at inspiring the next generation to love and wear SPF every single day with fun, easy to use sunscreens.


This is a really inspiring story and we’re going to break down her secrets to success, what makes a brand pop and what you need to know about regulations when building a sunscreen brand.


I absolutely loved hearing about why Samantha decided to keep this venture a secret from the public for 9 months. She realized that sunscreen is complex, it’s made by chemists, and she's not going to be the one in the kitchen mixing this herself. Instead she's getting someone to make the best of the best, but will anyone really take it seriously with her name on the brand? So she didn't tell anyone about being a founder. This is the first time I've heard of something like this on the show, and I find it such an interesting approach. Samantha didn’t want people to think that I was just doing this for the sake of it.


Another part that made this journey a little more complicated than manufacturing your regular beauty products, is that there is a strong barrier to entry in the sunscreen space. It is classed as a medication in Australia and classed as a drug in America. Those are things to really think about before diving into the space. Even when it comes to advertising rules, you should put on a warning *reapply regularly*, on social media, podcasts, influencers, the whole mix. You can’t give a testimonial. It's pretty crazy stuff.


And while I’ve got you here! One quick thing. I’m giving away copies of my book over the next 2 weeks. All you need to do is make a cute video on Tiktok about the Female Startup Club podcast; send it to me by email to hello@femalestartupclub.com and your copy will be on the way.


Let’s get straight into this episode! This is Samantha for Female Startup Club


**Avoid prolonged sun exposure, make sure you re-apply frequently in accordance with directions. Remember, sunscreen is only one component of sun protection so always wear a hat, protective clothing and eyewear when you’re in the sun.

]]> 6 Quick Questions with Tash Todd Williams, founder of Word of Mouth Collective (part 2) 6 Quick Questions with Tash Todd Williams, founder of Word of Mouth Collective (part 2) Tue, 28 Jun 2022 11:00:00 GMT 14:38 5fe628a8-f6c7-11ec-8e3a-2b46d331d757 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e025c 653afa30238f6100125e025c 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 363 Today we’re mixing things up and learning from Tash Todd Williams, founder of digital marketing agency Word of Mouth Collective.


I’ve known Tash for circa 10 years now and have had the absolute pleasure of watching her journey from launching a fashion publication that she exited before she was 24, to today running a successful digital agency with a special love for female founders and entrepreneurs. Today she’s coming on to share part of that journey and a bunch of interesting tips and advice for early-stage bootstrapped founders including where she sees a lot of small businesses go wrong, the challenges that founders have in today’s landscape post iOS apple updates when it comes paid marketing and when a small business owner should actually be looking to engage an agency.


One thing we often hear on the podcast is that founders regret having spent on an agency too early on in their journey. In this episode, we explore the best time for bootstrapped founders to actually make this move and start working with an agency. At which stage in the journey it would pay off. And this is all about looking at tipping points of scale. There’s one scenario where you’ve just raised and you have a lot of capital so that’s totally separate. When you have strong KPIs to reach and the capital to get there, it makes a lot of sense to hire an agency. It's not these founders, but rather the bootstrapped founders we often hear about regretting investing in an agency early on. At this point, it becomes more about which stage of business you will be ready. If you’re running lean and doing this alone, you can come to a tipping point where you do not have the time and resources to upskill yourself and you have too many moving parts in the business. This would be the point to consider outsourcing to an agency. As Tash says, they're not in the business to bankrupt anybody. Audit yourself, audit where the business is at, and based on that draw conclusions if this actually makes sense for you.


So many gems in here, I know you’re going to love her!


And btw, are we friends on TikTok? I’m having so much fun on that platform, Id love to connect and see what you’re creating on there too. Find me at @dooneroisin in all the places.

]]> 7 key steps to successfully launching your product on Amazon 7 key steps to successfully launching your product on Amazon Sat, 25 Jun 2022 11:00:00 GMT 11:39 03081a82-f45c-11ec-baa2-5bc44d115a83 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e025e 653afa30238f6100125e025e 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 361 Hi everyone! Doone here - your host and hype girl. Thank you for tuning in to my solo episode this week.


Today, I’m bringing you another workshop inspired special, brought to you through the Hype Club coffee chats. If you listen regularly you’ve heard me chatting about our Wednesday virtual coffee chats in Hype Club before and this is such a great hour of the week. It’s a chance for all the founders to catch up with each other up on their busy weeks, and an intimate place to hype and support one another. We have such an awesome group of like-minded founders early on in their journey right now, and these Wednesdays have really become a highlight of my week. This is even more so the case when we have a special guest popping in to teach us a workshop in their area of expertise. 


With a couple of the founders in our group looking to launch into Amazon in the near future, we invited Carina McLeod to come and teach us the initial steps to getting the hang of this tricky channel. Carina is a real expert in the space, with 20 years retail and 18 years of Amazon experience behind her. She now runs an Amazon focused agency called Ecommerce Nurse ran by a team of ex Amazonians, helping sellers and vendors grow and reach their potential on Amazon in North America and Europe. In other words, the perfect woman for the job. During our session, she broke down the seven key steps you absolutely must take into consideration if you’re to succeed on Amazon. And because I know how useful that was to all of the women in the club, I’m excited to share the general roadmap with you here today. 


You’ll have to tune into the episode to catch all the good bits here, but let me give you a little sneakpeek into the last step you’ve got to keep in check for Amazon success. It’s to realise your listing isn’t something that you just set up and leave to fend for itself. A set-up and leave it strategy just doesn’t work on this platform. You need to nurture it on the daily. It’s all about momentum and relevance with Amazon. What was a strategy yesterday might not be a strategy today, and you should be consistently working to optimise your listing and AB test your strategies. So, get yourself nice and familiar with the platform, because you’re in this for the long-run.


Ok that’s all for today! Thank you so much for listening in. Success for Amazon is absolutely possible for everyone, and I hope this episode allows you to focus your attention on all the right areas for that initial launch. If you want to get the extended version of what I’m talking about, you can sign up to Hype Club and watch the replays of all our past workshops, including this one with Carina from Ecommerce Nurse. 


So let’s get into it, here are seven key steps to success on Amazon.

]]> 6 Quick Questions with Katie Wilson, founder of BelliWelli (part 2) 6 Quick Questions with Katie Wilson, founder of BelliWelli (part 2) Thu, 23 Jun 2022 11:00:00 GMT 9:52 04365b9c-f16b-11ec-b564-93e1b0ce3fad false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e025f 653afa30238f6100125e025f 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 260 Today on the show we’re learning from Katie Wilson, founder of BelliWelli.

BelliWelli is a functional wellness brand that offers a healthy snack alternative, while also creating a movement around the very common but rarely talked about struggle of digestive health which affects over 70% of U.S. adults. Katie saw a gap in the $280 B functional food market and set out to create a treat that was made by gut sufferers, for gut sufferers, with the FIRST gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and certified low-FODMAP bar being born.

What I love about this story, is the serendipity of it all. The wildly successful billboard and merch you've probably spotted across your socials were a happy accident. It all came about because Kati knew from day one the uphill battle that she was going to have normalizing the conversation around gut issues. Many people along the way echoed "no-one is ever going to buy a food product for IBS". The billboard, "Hot Girls have IBS" came from the TikTok trends. The magic lies in the way IBS and hot girls is such a polarising thing, but it doesn't have to be. People went crazy for it. There was a line of people taking selfies at the infamous billboard. BelliWelli started selling the merch based on this, and to this day they can’t keep it in stock.

This episode is so much fun, Katie is a marketing genius and shares so many learnings around how she built her communities, and grassroots initiatives to get the word out there about the brand, and the billboard that went viral.

If you love this episode as much as I did recording it, remember to screenshot and share on IG to help other ears find us!

BelliWelli is a functional wellness brand that offers a healthy snack alternative, while also creating a movement around the very common but rarely talked about struggle of digestive health which affects over 70% of U.S. adults. Katie saw a gap in the $280 B functional food market and set out to create a treat that was made by gut sufferers, for gut sufferers, with the FIRST gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and certified low-FODMAP bar being born.

What I love about this story, is the serendipity of it all. The wildly successful billboard and merch you've probably spotted across your socials were a happy accident. It all came about because Kati knew from day one the uphill battle that she was going to have normalizing the conversation around gut issues. Many people along the way echoed "no-one is ever going to buy a food product for IBS". The billboard, "Hot Girls have IBS" came from the TikTok trends. The magic lies in the way IBS and hot girls is such a polarising thing, but it doesn't have to be. People went crazy for it. There was a line of people taking selfies at the infamous billboard. BelliWelli started selling the merch based on this, and to this day they can’t keep it in stock.

This episode is so much fun, Katie is a marketing genius and shares so many learnings around how she built her communities, and grassroots initiatives to get the word out there about the brand, and the billboard that went viral.

]]> 6 Quick Questions with Tara Bosch, founder of Smartsweets (part 2) 6 Quick Questions with Tara Bosch, founder of Smartsweets (part 2) Tue, 21 Jun 2022 11:00:00 GMT 12:24 5bad0690-eda7-11ec-a38c-afa5c4901756 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0261 653afa30238f6100125e0261 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 358 Today on the show we’re joined by Tara Bosch, founder of the wildly successful candy brand, SmartSweets.

Since launching in July 2016, SmartSweets' mission to innovate delicious, low-sugar candy you can feel good about has remained the same – Kick Sugar, Keep Candy™. Envisioned as "the future of candy," SmartSweets aims to be a global leader in the sugar reduction movement by tackling one of the largest and most concerning ingredients in our everyday food – sugar.

In this episode, we cover Tara’s inspiring journey from starting this business in her kitchen right through to selling a major stake in the business for $360m. It’s a wild ride and I know you’re going to learn so much from Tara!

I couldn't believe how she only raised $3M to then go on to proceed with a $360M acquisition. Some seriously impressive stuff. Tara believes there to be so much stigma and idealization around raising as if that almost becomes the celebration. Realistically this can distract from the fact that the money is so you can grow your business, and those are the milestones that you should be celebrating. If you can raise no money that’s amazing, it’s much more beneficial for everyone.

There are some real nuggets of wisdom here that I know will benefit a lot of you. For example, how it may look like entrepreneurs with a certain level of success have it all figured out but that's very rarely the case. Tara thought that when you got to a certain level of success you just have this unwavering confidence that you know what you're doing and you've got it all figured out. That as you scale, this feeling comes automatically. But this just isn't the case. The feeling changes, but you rarely feel like you've got it all figured out. That's just part of the entrepreneurial ride, what keeps you going in some ways, and also something that's good to accept. There’s not one event that is the silver bullet to success, just accumulation that keeps that momentum going, and the snowball getting bigger and bigger. But you still have to push that snowball. 

Stick around for the last part where Tara dives into her key piece of advice for entrepreneurs entering the candy space. For her, having a radical value proposition is one of the reasons at the heart of why SmartSweets scaled so quickly, and why they're continuing to be the market leader. To have a massively successful product and simultaneously better the world you have to take something that exists and create so much radical value that for people it’s reinventing the wheel in a very meaningful way, that sparks the emotional response of someone to your product. Make sure you have that radical value proposition.

Doone here - your host and hype girl. Thanks for tuning in to my solo episode this week. I’m recording this from my little hotel room in sunny New York city and I’m feeling so grateful to be in this beautiful city. Today, I want to dive into a topic that I know is going to be relevant for every single one of you listening in. And that’s the topic of female health. Women have been underserved by the healthcare industry for a really damn long time. But now finally, with more women in STEM, and more female entrepreneurial disrupters, the future of femtech is looking bright. 


Firstly, we learn from Dr. Amy Divaraniya, the founder of Oova, an incredibly innovative women’s health company. Amy has more than 10 years of experience as a data scientist and has both led and published original research in the areas of personal genomics and biomarker discovery.


Next, I introduce Nadya Okamoto from August. Or you might know her better as the “period girl”. August is the lifestyle period brand that makes sustainable period care that actually works. And Nadya is one of those women that is impossible not to be impressed by and excited about. She’s a Harvard grad, author, speaker, NGO founder, gen z marketing agency founder and now august as well as a TikToker that’s grown to 2.4 million followers.


Thirdly, I dive into the story of Bethany Edwards and her creation Lia, the world’s first flushable pregnancy test. Lia is an earth-friendly healthcare company on a mission to revolutionize reproductive health through the development of innovative products. The company's first product, which came to market just last year, is the FDA cleared Lia pregnancy test.


Next I’m introducing you to Alexandra Fine, a real favourite from the show, and one of the women behind Dame. Dame is leading a sexual wellness revolution as a women-powered resource for game-changing products for pleasure and supportive content. 


Our fifth story is that of Krystal Duhaney the Founder of Milky Mama. After having her second child and returning to work, Krystal struggled with her milk supply and realized that there were very few resources for breastfeeding mothers in the same predicament. So, in November of 2015, Milky Mama was born. Today, Milky Mama is dedicated to educating, supporting and empowering parents to have the best breastfeeding journey possible.


I next introduce you to another woman modernizing sustainable period care, Cherie Hoeger with Saalt. In 2018, Saalt launched its flagship product—the Saalt period cup—with the vision of making cleaner, more sustainable period care accessible to everyone.


Last but not least, I want to shine a light on Sally Mueller and her company Womaness. Womaness is a collection of modern, innovative menopause products developed for women, by women that offer solutions from head to toe, and everything in between. 


These are all stories that have really stuck with me in the last year, an incredible little bank of inspiration, and if I can pass that feeling onto even just one of you today that’s a mission very much accomplished. Let’s get straight to it! This is me, for Female Startup Club.

Summersalt launched in 2017 after a serendipitous moment with her co-founder Lori, and what started as a swimwear company made from recycled materials has since moved into every area of a woman's wardrobe.


We’re talking through Reshma’s journey and the power a mission driven brand can have in a saturated market. How to successfully collaborate with brands as a way to drive significant customer acquisition and her core tips from raising $26m in venture dollars.

]]> 6 Quick Questions with Emma Gibbons (part 2) 6 Quick Questions with Emma Gibbons (part 2) Tue, 14 Jun 2022 11:00:00 GMT 7:34 b24dd07a-ea4a-11ec-bdd5-c7d959c78670 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0266 653afa30238f6100125e0266 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 353 Today on the show we’re trying something a little different and digging into an artist-entrepreneurs business model. I’m learning from Emma Gibbons, a Devon-based mixed-media pop artist who’s become known for her colorful, contemporary artworks using resin, glitter, crystals, and precious materials. 


Emma’s experience in the art industry has seen her working on some of the most high-profile exhibitions in the world including seven years working for Damien Hirst. Before becoming a full-time artist she actually worked on the installation and exhibition for Damien Hirst’s infamous ‘For The Love of God’ diamond-encrusted skull at its UK unveiling at White Cube Gallery in London.


In this episode, we cover the blueprint of how she grew her business through galleries, what she learned working with Damien and how Margot Robbie became one of her A-list celebrity clients after a situation involving her personal trainer and a swift swoop-in.


Emma is the first-ever artist I've spoken to on the show, and it was so interesting to get to know more about the intersection of art and business. Especially, to see how much the two overlap. As Emma says, you almost have to go to your creative work with your business hat on. At this stage, there's not even so much creativity, it's business. It's like having two full-time jobs at once. And just as we often mention in business, how important it is to have a unique point of difference for your product. It's got to be unique. That's a no-brainer. It can't be run-of-the-mill, as there will be no chance you'll stand out against the countless other works out there battling for people's attention. The more unique you are, the more you can communicate your story, and the easier it is for people to hook onto that.


Whilst it's easy to see the business aspect of working in the entrepreneurial art space, it's also cool to learn how creativity seeps back into the business side of things. For all entrepreneurs. For example, how there's no specific blueprint or magic solution to success. There are lots and lots of different ways to go about building and scaling your business, and what works for one person may not necessarily work for someone else. It's important to take in lots and lots of different views on how to do things because there is no set way. You can then cherry-pick what works for you. The key here is to maintain focused on the things that you can do. The things that are possible. In Emma's case, what you can do with some paints and some ambition. The magic that you can create with some real hunger and some talent.

]]> Your go-to guide to organic marketing Your go-to guide to organic marketing Thu, 09 Jun 2022 11:00:00 GMT 13:09 d02f05ec-e666-11ec-9348-7f2536ecdfbb false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0268 653afa30238f6100125e0268 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full Hi everyone! Doone here - your host and hype girl. Thanks for tuning in to my solo episode this week. I’m going to chat about something that’s been at the top of my mind all week, and that’s the workshop with Lisa Guerrera from Experiment Beauty hosted through the Hype Club last Wednesday. It was just so good and I wanted to get a chance to share all the best bits with you guys. 

Roughly once a month we bring in an expert in the DTC space to teach us about their area of expertise, give us some tactical lessons, and provide strategies to level up in business. After Lisa was a guest on the show last month, I just knew she’d have so much to offer the Hype girls. There’s been a lot of chat about how to move forward with TikTok and organic marketing, and who better to learn from than the queen of Gen Z marketing herself? And my god, she went above and beyond. Covering virtual friends, creative collabs, fearless fundraising, and TikTok tactics, this is one for the savvy founders at any stage of their journey. 

The first thing I took away from the workshop, is how common and even important it has become to make friends on the web. And the way to set yourself up for that is to dive into the content creation side of things. Being a content creator on your brand account, and being front and center to the biz, sets the tone to catch all the eyeballs. Truth be told, if you’re not prepared to make content and dive into social it’s going to be really hard for you to grow organically. 

Content creation is all good and well, but where on earth do we get started? Especially when it comes to TikTok, it can be hard to know how to kick things off. And that’s one of the main reasons I so badly wanted Lisa to come and chat with the Hype girls. What Lisa said it comes down to, is a lot to do with what works for you. There’s no right or wrong way to curate your content, as long as it fits your brand essence. This reminds me of a chat I had with Youthforia’s Fiona Chan, who was adamant that you should always create content in a way that makes life easier for yourself. Choose something that’s easy for you to talk about, easy to fit into your day. Because you’re going to want to be churning out a lot of it. Don’t just whack any old thing up there, but the net can be cast (very) wide. 

Lastly we chatted a bunch about fundraising. This was particularly interesting because Lisa was not originally such an advocate for it herself. During out workshop, she shared the two big things she took away from the experience. Number one: how to pitch. It’s so important to craft your message in a way it translates your story in the way you intend. And secondly, and I dare say more importantly, she networked her arse off. The 50-75 investors she spoke to the first time around might not have put in any capital, but they liked her. And we should never underestimate how powerful that is. In combination, Lisa broadening her fellow founder network. Hanging out at co-working spots and hitting up fellow founders in the space. With this behind you, putting yourself in the right room, and talking to the right people, you have yourself a pretty sweet recipe for success. And a whole new world of opportunities might just open. 


Let’s get straight to it! This is me, for Female Startup Club.

]]> 6 Quick Questions with Rosie Jane Johnston, Founder of By Rosie Jane. (part 2) 6 Quick Questions with Rosie Jane Johnston, Founder of By Rosie Jane. (part 2) Wed, 08 Jun 2022 11:00:00 GMT 15:03 5b69f1ba-e664-11ec-a259-6f80adbad342 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0269 653afa30238f6100125e0269 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 350 Today we’re learning from Rosie Jane Johnston, the founder of By Rosie Jane.


By Rosie Jane was founded in 2010 by celebrity makeup artist Rosie Jane Johnston, an Aussie who has made her home in LA. Each fragrance, formulated by Rosie herself, is free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates and phosphates and housed in recycled and recyclable packaging. Her perfumes and body care products are refreshingly simple and ideal for daily wear using the highest quality fragrance oils. We cover her journey to building this brand into a 7 figure company stocked in the likes of Sephora and Thirteen Lune, and the campaign that’s driving her customer acquisition right now.


The thing that really struck me in this episode is Rosie's relentless pursuit in business and getting what she wants, to get By Rosie Jane to where it is today. She really shows us how a no now doesn’t mean a no forever, and it’s all about being open for when that time comes for the no to turn into a yes. That’s where your courage and conviction are. If you are not doing something you truly believe in, you truly love, you’re not going to stay the course. Whatever that is for you, has to be your driving force. There’s something within your entrepreneurial spirit. That’s just in you. It takes 10 years to reach overnight success. And in that time you need to have that persistence and true conviction in what you’re doing. When we look at legacy brands, there are a few key things key they are getting really right. They have these incredible “whys”. They have a lot of struggles in the beginning. They’ve had to change and move with the time and have great failures and still come back, which is so important to have in the entrepreneurial world.


If you love something in this episode please do consider sharing it on Instagram stories and tagging us or leaving us a review to help other ears find us. I’m so grateful for each and every one of you who does this.

]]> How to launch a 7 figure clean fragrance line with Founder Rosie Jane Johnston (part 1) How to launch a 7 figure clean fragrance line with Founder Rosie Jane Johnston (part 1) Tue, 07 Jun 2022 12:56:00 GMT 42:19 a5ce9b0c-e60a-11ec-96f4-3320dcc98f12 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e026a 653afa30238f6100125e026a 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 249 Today we’re learning from Rosie Jane Johnston, the founder of By Rosie Jane.


By Rosie Jane was founded in 2010 by celebrity makeup artist Rosie Jane Johnston, an Aussie who has made her home in LA. Each fragrance, formulated by Rosie herself, is free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates and phosphates and housed in recycled and recyclable packaging. Her perfumes and body care products are refreshingly simple and ideal for daily wear using the highest quality fragrance oils. We cover her journey to building this brand into a 7 figure company stocked in the likes of Sephora and Thirteen Lune, and the campaign that’s driving her customer acquisition right now.


The thing that really struck me in this episode is Rosie's relentless pursuit in business and getting what she wants, to get By Rosie Jane to where it is today. She really shows us how a no now doesn’t mean a no forever, and it’s all about being open for when that time comes for the no to turn into a yes. That’s where your courage and conviction are. If you are not doing something you truly believe in, you truly love, you’re not going to stay the course. Whatever that is for you, has to be your driving force. There’s something within your entrepreneurial spirit. That’s just in you. It takes 10 years to reach overnight success. And in that time you need to have that persistence and true conviction in what you’re doing. When we look at legacy brands, there are a few key things key they are getting really right. They have these incredible “whys”. They have a lot of struggles in the beginning. They’ve had to change and move with the time and have great failures and still come back, which is so important to have in the entrepreneurial world.

(part 2) Mon, 06 Jun 2022 16:00:00 GMT 11:26 5a73896e-e5a2-11ec-8461-cf23f17d37e5 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e026b 653afa30238f6100125e026b 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 348 Today on the show we’re learning from Lizanne Falsetto, the founder of thinkThin® and betterland foods™.


Lizanne began her entrepreneurial journey at her kitchen table, inspired both by a family recipe and a strong desire to solve a personal problem. On that table, the original thinkThin® bar was created: a revolutionary product that would become one of the most sought-after health foods on the market.


Her original instinct for a clear market opportunity in health food evolved into a 20-year tenure as founder and CEO of one of the fastest-growing health food brands in history and was eventually acquired for $217 m in 2015.


In 2020, as the pandemic disrupted life the world over, she was intrigued by the influx of food scientists creating cleaner, alternative proteins without the direct use of animals. These discoveries rekindled her entrepreneurial verve and led her to establish betterland foods™, a new venture committed to creating crave-able, delicious foods that are better for people – and better for the planet.


There are so many learnings and lessons woven into this episode and I’m just so excited to be able to share this inspiring conversation with you. We chat about the early days of building the brand when Lizanne was still modeling and would bring her home-creations to shoots to get feedback. How this natural desire led her to walk straight into the path of entrepreneurship, and how she learned what she was doing along the way. Setting up "Harvard for a day" chats with consultants, and just getting her product into as many hands as possible.


How important it is to keep your messaging consistent. Especially when you have limited ways to get your voice out there, to stay consistent with your messaging. And my favorite tip of all, how important it is to have your own personal financial situation in check when you get into building a business and possibly raising capital. It's so important to understand this, in order to understand the ramifications down the line. We round off by chatting about her incredible exit selling thinkThin® for $217 million. And how important it is to be ready spiritually, mentally, and emotionally before selling your business. Now, let's get straight into it.


If you love it as much as I did and you learn something, please do share it on Instagram tagging us or by leaving a review to help other ears find us.

]]> 6 Quick Questions with Katie Spies, Founder of Maev (part 2) 6 Quick Questions with Katie Spies, Founder of Maev (part 2) Fri, 27 May 2022 11:00:00 GMT 7:12 Buzzsprout-10679667 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e026d 653afa30238f6100125e026d 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 346 Today on the show we’re learning from Katie Spies, founder of Maev.


Founded in 2020, Maev started as a collective of dog parents who wanted better for their dogs. After Katie’s adopted dog George experienced a health scare, she turned her focus to nutrition to keep him healthy and happy. With help from her pet parent community, she began conducting deep research into the modern dog’s biological needs and the shortcomings of products we’ve been told to trust. Fast forward to today Maev has raised $9 million dollars and is on a mission to disrupt the industry.


In this episode, we talk through the origins of the story, when Maev was 1-2 people sitting in a WeWork in Soho, hand-making food, and doing things that no one really understood. Encountering every problem that could happen. To have now raised $9M and nailing the customer satisfaction and finding some great businesses to partner with. One thing that makes the journey with Maev a little more difficult than usual, is the fact the product is shipped as a frozen good. In Katie's words, "I've aged 15 years since shipping frozen food." It’s really logistically difficult. We were lucky enough to be able to learn from her mistakes, and she delved into some tips that make the process a little easier for others looking to get into frozen food. Firstly, you need to make sure your AOV is high enough to cover the costs of shipping. Secondly, you can benefit a lot from finding ways to fit more in the shipping boxes. And finally, finding those innovative partners is absolutely key.


Aside from that, I loved hearing about Katie's approach to her customers in this episode. It's incredibly inspiring. It's the kind of thing every company knows they should be doing, but it often gets left behind on the list of priorities. And that's that she takes five customer phone calls a week, and has since the beginning of starting the business. The customers or potential customers chat, and she just gets to absorb. There's so much to learn here. If we can understand the customer better than anyone else, you will literally be able to build any product. It’s so fulfilling, and humanizing is great. People want to buy things from people, not faceless corporations. Sometimes they’re a highlight, sometimes they’re a distraction, but they’re always useful.


Besides that, we also get into some nifty little tips when it get's to e-mail marketing and some guerilla marketing tactics that have proved successful since the early days of Maev, and helped them build up those initial 100 customers.

]]> What I’ve learned from 7 successful female founders in the beverage space What I’ve learned from 7 successful female founders in the beverage space Mon, 23 May 2022 16:00:00 GMT 14:03 Buzzsprout-10647270 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e026f 653afa30238f6100125e026f 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 344

I hope you loved the format last week, where we took a deep dive into the beauty space, because we’ll be following in those footsteps again this week. Strap yourself in, as I take you through the seven biggest learnings our founders have picked up from hustling in the notoriously tricky beverage space, through a pandemic! Let’s get straight into it.


Learning number one is that your product absolutely needs to be great. The beverage space is ultra competitive, ultra crowded, and without an amazing product you simply don’t stand a chance. This is one lesson that will always remain relevant, pandemic or no pandemic, your product just has to be really good.


The second learning from digging through our beverage archive, is that you want to have real intention behind what you’re building. What is your aim, or purpose? Your intention is your story, and that’s what’s individual to you. It’s what makes you unique and sets you apart from the countless other brands.


Lesson number three is all around using your network to your advantage, and not being afraid to ask those oh so important burning questions. Your network loves to help, and that’s something a lot of you need to hear. It’s time to say shush to that little voice of self-doubt that’s telling you not to ask that question, and to stop being afraid to seem uninformed or even dumb. Knowledge is king, and you want to gain as much of it as you can. Go make that phone call. The earlier on in the journey you realize, the more you’ll gain.


Learning number 4 is to properly think about where those initial dollars are coming from. As Melanie, you might opt to look to those closest to you when you’re raising those first dollars for your beverage brand. The key thing to take away here, is that raising no money always trumps raising stupid money. And there is a LOT of stupid investor money floating around this industry.


Learning number 5 is a major one, and one that’s been mentioned time and time again on the show. You should absolutely, without a doubt, create your beverage brand with a DTC model in mind.


Which brings me to learning number 6, one some of us prefer to forget when embarking upon this wild ride. And that’s that failure is inevitably part of journey. Obstacles are just part of this journey, and so are mistakes. The true mark of the entrepreneur is just that grit and perseverance. Daily hustle.


And last, but certainly not least, is the learning that if you feel this burning passion in your belly, there is absolutely no reason not to get started on this immediately. That excuse you were telling yourself not to? Forget it. Those reasons are always going to be there.

]]> 6 Quick Questions with Kayla Castañeda, Founder of Agua Bonita(part 2) 6 Quick Questions with Kayla Castañeda, Founder of Agua Bonita(part 2) Sat, 21 May 2022 23:00:00 GMT 6:40 Buzzsprout-10647207 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0270 653afa30238f6100125e0270 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 343 Today on the show we’re learning from Kayla, the founder of Agua Bonita.


Agua Bonita is a Latina-owned beverage company making the first better-for-you aguas frescas on the market. A modern take on a traditional Mexican fruit drink, their aguas frescas come in ready-to-drink 12oz cans, made with real fruit, low sugar, and fun flavors (like mango habanero). And this story is a wild one. I actually came across a post of Kayla’s on LinkedIn sharing a pretty crappy story for any small business owner to go through. I’m sure you’ll find plenty of takeaways in this episode because she’s just so insightful.


We talk through those initial 6 months of building the brand. Agua Bonita launched conceptually in July 2020, but those first months were really stealth mode. You conceptualize your brand, identify your values, and what makes you different from the whole market. A lot of thinking through that for the first 6 months. What do we want to do that’s different, how can we do this sustainably, and how do we communicate that?

And we can confidently say this initial stage was a success, with 10,000 units flying out the door in the first month. Kayla talks us through how exactly this came about, this complete wildfire response. Firstly, the people were ready for Agua Bonita. This product was just completely absent from the market, and people wanted it. On top of that, Agua Bonita was ready for the people: extensive research into where they can find their consumers, and then showing up in their life throughout the day. Kayla also shared some pretty key know-how around a concept called free-fill when it comes to giveaways in retail. Heard of it? Check out the full chat for the low-down.

You should stick around to the end of the episode, where Kayla shares the number one piece of advice she's ever received, and some of her own advice. When it comes to the first, everything takes way longer than you expect it to. Even when you allot a lot of extra time, add even more time onto that timeline. In business, time really does equal money. So you'll need money to make sure those things work out in your favor. When it comes to Kayla's own piece of advice, she's a strong advocate for leaning into your community. You will find so many other founders and resources, so many people that really want to help you. When you’re building a brand, that’s all your really trying to do as a brand. Lean into the community, there are people that want to help. 

If you love this episode and get something out of it please do share it on your Instagram stories with us @femalestartupclub. You can also find me in the DMs directly @dooneroisin where I love to chat and hear about what you’re working on. Let's get into it.

]]> 6 Quick Questions with Sarah Ashcroft, Founder of SLA The Label (part 2) 6 Quick Questions with Sarah Ashcroft, Founder of SLA The Label (part 2) Thu, 19 May 2022 11:00:00 GMT 6:58 Buzzsprout-10640003 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa30238f6100125e0272 653afa30238f6100125e0272 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 341 Today we’re learning from That Pommie Girl, Sarah Ashcroft. If you know her, you’ll know of her super cool blog called That Pommie Girl she started in 2013 that’s lead her down a path of exciting entrepreneurship.


After working on her blog for a number of years Sarah started SLA The Label in June 2019. Originally born out of Sarah’s love for airport outfits, she had become known amongst her followers for her travel looks across all her social media platforms. As a result, when launching SLA The Label’s first collection it felt natural to start with loungewear. Followers and fashion fans fell in love with the collection which saw the first drop sell out within 24 hours making sales of £60k and in just three years it's turned over almost £5million in revenue.


In this episode, we get into those early steps of founding a fashion business. That first year you've decided to take the plunge and are first starting to navigate the space. Two business tips stood out far from the rest, and I'll share those here as a little taste of what to expect in this episode.


Firstly, do not rush the process. Sarah remembers rushing the beginning of her entrepreneurial journey with SLA. When launching their first collection she was nowhere near where she wanted to be for the launch, but impatience got the better of her.

Impatience with launching a new business is a great sign. You're just excited for this thing to be out in the world, and to be able to share your creation. But, there's a but there, it can also mean you push your business out into the world a little before it's due. And that's what Sarah believes happened here. Her tip is to give yourself the time to feel that you are 100% ready to launch. There's just so much that can go wrong, and if you're not fully ready for those consequences it can be pretty detrimental for your business (and with that also you!).


The second tip she shared revolves around the idea that it's a better idea to launch with a (or a couple) of key products. In other words, don't expand your products and offering too quickly. It can work out better for business in the long term to stick with your small launch collection for a year, and to really nail that down. Sarah believes the result would be far fewer. Nailing that thing, doing it well, getting a good customer base. It's the way to go.

 

This episode is a fab one for the fashion girl. I was so surprised at her highest performing marketing channel and I think you will be too.

In this episode, we get into those early steps of founding a fashion business. That first year you've decided to take the plunge and are first starting to navigate the space. Two business tips stood out far from the rest, and I'll share those here as a little taste of what to expect in this episode.


Firstly, do not rush the process. Sarah remembers rushing the beginning of her entrepreneurial journey with SLA. When launching their first collection she was nowhere near where she wanted to be for the launch, but impatience got the better of her.

Impatience with launching a new business is a great sign. You're just excited for this thing to be out in the world, and to be able to share your creation. But, there's a but there, it can also mean you push your business out into the world a little before it's due. And that's what Sarah believes happened here. Her tip is to give yourself the time to feel that you are 100% ready to launch. There's just so much that can go wrong, and if you're not fully ready for those consequences it can be pretty detrimental for your business (and with that also you!).


The second tip she shared revolves around the idea that it's a better idea to launch with a (or a couple) of key products. In other words, don't expand your products and offering too quickly. It can work out better for business in the long term to stick with your small launch collection for a year, and to really nail that down. Sarah believes the result would be far fewer. Nailing that thing, doing it well, getting a good customer base. It's the way to go.

 

This episode is a fab one for the fashion girl. I was so surprised at her highest performing marketing channel and I think you will be too.

]]> 7 learnings from the biggest names in beauty 7 learnings from the biggest names in beauty Fri, 13 May 2022 11:00:00 GMT 18:38 Buzzsprout-10579518 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa31238f6100125e0274 653afa31238f6100125e0274 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 339 Hey and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl.

Thanks for tuning in to the solo episode for this week, where we’ll be taking a deep dive into the beauty space, going over the biggest learnings our multi-millionaire beauty-founder-guests have gained from founding and building the brands absolutely killing it in their space right now. So Let’s get straight into it. 

Learning number 1 stems from the dreaming phase. When you’re n the very early days of imagining your beauty brand - and you’re dreaming about the vision you have. And you’re asking yourself what am I actually actually going to create? The luxury of being in this position is that nothing exists yet, because you haven’t made it. You can literally create ANYTHING. So why not create your product in a way that will make your life a little easier down the road? When we look at successful beauty brands today, there are a couple of things that founders seem to have gotten right straight off the bat. My first learning is that you should create something valuable, you should create something beautiful and (nowadays) you should create something memorable or memeable. 

My second learning is that you absolutely want to be making that pre-launch effort, and you absolutely want to kick off with a bang. Start as you mean to go on. The truth of the matter is, beauty is SUCH a saturated space, and you need to give someone a reason to pay attention.

The third learning, is to really think outside the box when it comes around to pitching your product to retail. Buyers in the beauty world are getting hit by constant blasts. There’s so much out there, there’s so much being created. Give yourself a chance by really making an impression. Ok. but I can hear you asking already. How to go about that? Amy Liu’s story for getting Tower28 stocked in Sephora is a real cracker, and we’ll talk through that in the episode.

Lesson number four is all around not getting complacent when you do land your dream retailer. Don’t get me wrong, it’s definitely a win worth celebrating. Give yourself a huge pat on the back, and celebrate with your team. But it’s by no means the finishing line. Getting in is the easy part, what’s hard is getting the sale through.

Which bring us to another area you can absolutely not get complacent in as a founder. It might not have always been the case, but today I can confidently say you would struggle to do well with your business if you’re not leveraging this platform. If you listen to this show you know what I’m about to tell you. TikTok, obviously! In beauty, you’re in such a fab position to do well on TikTok. 

So, that brings me to learning number 6, and one that lies particularly close to my heart. As a woman, if you’re planning to be an entrepreneur, a pitfall i’ve encountered time and time again is this idea of perfectionism. So much of our paralysis comes from spinning in circles around certain things, when what we should be doing is just putting it out, seeing how people react, and then changing it. Get it out and iterate along the way. We are smart enough that we can always pivot, no matter what comes our way.

And my last but not least learning from chatting to all these amazing women in the beauty space, is that all good things simply take time. We’ve heard time and time again, that it takes 0 years to reach overnight success. And it’s okay it takes time. 

Let’s get straight into it! This is me for Female Startup Club.

Afterglow is introducing a new category called erotic wellness and they’re building an online universe—where porn is made by and for the feminine gaze. A universe where doing guided masturbations and partner exercises is just as normal as reading the morning paper. Where women can be both celebrated and centered.


In this episode we talk through Lilly’s transition from building a CPG company to $10m in revenue and deciding it wasn’t what she saw for her future, and transitioning into building her dream vision of what she’s truly aligned with. And holy moly it is so interesting.

]]> <![CDATA[The story of how Nitasha Mehta decided to fight the “Pink Tax” with the help of her employer, Boxed, & saved their customers who identify as women more than $2 millon dollars in the process]]> Mon, 09 May 2022 11:00:00 GMT 27:40 Buzzsprout-10568851 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa31238f6100125e0277 653afa31238f6100125e0277 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 336 Today we’re hearing an incredibly inspiring story from Nitasha Mehta, a woman I met in New York who works in the CPG space for a company called Boxed. And why I wanted to share this story with you is to show you how much impact you can create in the world, even without jumping straight into starting a business. I think it’s an important reminder that you can create significant impact at your place of employment; with resources and support at your fingertips.


Nitasha’s an experienced digital marketer with over 15 years of expertise in e-commerce, product marketing, CRM, and shopper marketing. She currently heads up CPG Brand Partnerships at Boxed, working directly with over 60 CPG brands. She's extremely passionate about technology and equal opportunity, and she launched the RethinkPink initiative at Boxed--which led to Boxed becoming the first and only US retailer to take a stand against gender pricing inequities. She has also been involved with legislation and has testified in states that have introduced bills to repeal the Tampon Tax, 3 of which went on to repeal the tax, as well as joined Congresswoman Jackie Speier in her Pink Tax Repeal Act.


I’m so inspired, and I hope you are too.

It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl.

In this solo episode, I will talk you through a few, just a few, of the many mistakes I’ve made with my different attempts at business. And, let’s be honest this is a just handful that I’m not so emotionally scarred from that I can actually talk about. There’s probably another handful that I’ve blocked out of my mind. It’s tempting to lock all my mistakes away and throw away the key, but there’s a real opportunity here to turn these entrepreneurial failures into learnings. So strap yourself in, here are my 7 worst business mistakes (& their learnings) that cost me thousands of dollars.

Firstly, doing something that you don’t actually enjoy. Life is too short! Time is passing us by. Yesterday the pandemic just started and now we’re halfway through 2022. We should be enjoying life not hating it. We spend so much of our life working (especially as entrepreneurs) that it may as well be on something that lights a fire in our belly. Stay laser-focused on what makes you happy, and check in with yourself to make sure you’re doing what’s right for you. 

Secondly, doing things driven by money over passion. This is a tough one to swallow. You can get caught up in building this exciting business and the glamour of that rather than something you’re truly passionate about to your core. Check in with yourself, and make sure you have that burning passion and connection.

Next, creating solutions for problems no one really needs. Or wants to pay for. Most startups fail, that’s a hard fact. Just because we have this little lightbulb go off in our heads and think it’s genius, doesn’t mean people will want to actually pay money for your solution. Make sure you do the research and prove out your business concept before you go all in.

Then, hiring too early. This one sucks. And this is where you lose a lot of money, especially when it comes to hiring agencies. And where you can harbor quite bitter emotions. You need to have the right foundations in business ready to go so that you’re set up for success when hiring an agency and seriously I still don’t seem to have learned this lesson.

Which leads me to mistake number five. Making the same mistake twice. Three times. Four times. You get the drift. I’ve hired agencies too early, staff too early, contractors too early, signed up for software I don’t need yet… All of it! Multiple times. Know where your entrepreneurial weaknesses lie-, and learn to nip problems in the bud next time around.

Also, not having a clear focus. Pushing yourself in multiple directions is again a total time and money waster. With a million ideas it's easy to go off on some random tangent, when you should be focusing on what’s working and doubling down on that. It certainly helps to have a super clear North Star you can check yourself against. 

And finally, not understanding your numbers. My god. Knowing your numbers inside and out is critical in building a business. You need to know where your profits lie, you need to know how much you can be spending to acquire a customer and where you can put a dollar in and get a dollar back.

If you relate to any of these, I feel you girl. Let’s get straight into it! This is me for Female Startup Club.

Chances are you’ve seen this brand on Instagram or Tiktok, but if you haven’t Experiment is a chemist-led brand building science-backed beauty 2.0. They're rebranding what a science-backed beauty brand feels like for the next generation of consumers and also what it looks like. All of their products are clinically backed, thoughtfully sustainable, and ridiculously fun. You’ll probably recognise their first product which is the acid neon green reusable sheet mask we’ve all seen cruising around the internet.

]]> Today we are learning from Lisa Guerrera, the founder of Experiment Beauty.


Chances are you’ve seen this brand on Instagram or Tiktok, but if you haven’t Experiment is a chemist-led brand building science-backed beauty 2.0. They're rebranding what a science-backed beauty brand feels like for the next generation of consumers and also what it looks like. All of their products are clinically backed, thoughtfully sustainable, and ridiculously fun. You’ll probably recognise their first product which is the acid neon green reusable sheet mask we’ve all seen cruising around the internet.


I loved this chat with Lisa, she shares her journey so deeply and there are so many takeaways you’ll learn from her.

One of the women behind Dame. Dame is leading a sexual wellness revolution as a women-powered resource for game-changing products for pleasure and supportive content. Through in-depth research, smart design, community input, and plenty of empathy, the Dame team has designed a line of exceptional tools to enhance sexual wellness for vulva-havers and their partners everywhere.


Dame is not only revolutionizing toys for sex, but changing the way we experience, understand, and explore sexuality as part of holistic wellbeing. Since 2014, the team has opened doors that have long been closed to the sexuality industry, becoming a key player in the movement to bring pleasure to the forefront of wellness.


We talk through her approach to building this business, crowdfunding, marketing and how she uses the businesses challenges as her opportunity. You might have heard that Dame sued the MTA and has had some pretty exciting stuff in the works these past few weeks.

Founded in 2017, Harper Wilde is a direct-to-consumer, ‘underthings’ brand for women. Frustrated with the over-priced, hyper sexualised intimate apparel industry, Wharton graduates and co-founders Jane Fisher and Jenna Kerner set out to change the conversation by building everyday bras that are ethically made, fairly priced, and comfortable. Beyond the products themselves, Harper Wilde is focused on a larger mission to support and empower future generations of independent women through cause-related and philanthropic initiatives, including a 1% donation of all proceeds to Girl’s Inc. This commitment extends to the company’s environmental responsibilities, with the industry’s only-of-its-kind bra recycling program, “Recycles, Bra”, which to-date has saved over 30,000 bras from landfills.

Founded in 2017, Harper Wilde is a direct-to-consumer, ‘underthings’ brand for women. Frustrated with the over-priced, hyper sexualised intimate apparel industry, Wharton graduates and co-founders Jane Fisher and Jenna Kerner set out to change the conversation by building everyday bras that are ethically made, fairly priced, and comfortable. Beyond the products themselves, Harper Wilde is focused on a larger mission to support and empower future generations of independent women through cause-related and philanthropic initiatives, including a 1% donation of all proceeds to Girl’s Inc. This commitment extends to the company’s environmental responsibilities, with the industry’s only-of-its-kind bra recycling program, “Recycles, Bra”, which to-date has saved over 30,000 bras from landfills.

Ephemeris is the startup merging technology and astrology to deliver tangible and digital products designed to help people navigate the magical adventure of understanding themselves, the cosmos, and the connection therein.


And this conversation is so interesting! One thing I didn’t know that astrology was in an actual grey area for investors and also when it comes to things like Facebook ads. We’re talking through her journey navigating this industry that she’s so deeply passionate about, how she made the move from Australia to the UUS - and exactly how much it cost to do it.


And a big thank you to everyone who’s been sharing posts of the podcast on Instagram stories - you are the best best best and I’m so grateful to you. I can’t tell you how insanely happy it makes me to be able to have and share these conversations with you and then to see you show up on social media telling other people about Female Startup Club. It brings me endless joy and I feel so lucky to have you all as my hype girls. Especially on those shitty days when you really need a little booster to get you through!

We’ve had some real crackers on the show recently and this is another totally epic story. In 1999, Tiffany Taylor accidentally stood up Leon Chen for a date. As an apology, she baked and delivered a batch of warm cookies, and the concept of warm cookie delivery was born.

Tiff and Leon, just 19-year-old sophomores at The University of Texas, opened Tiff’s Treats with $20, a cell phone and a dream. Since then, the business has raised more than 00m dollars, grown to 68 stores, with close to 2000 employees, baking more than 200 million cookies since the company started.

Fancy Sprinkles is a woman-owned and woman-run confectionary sprinkle company on a mission to reimagine the edible arts industry by way of colorful sprinkles and accessories that can be used on everything from baked goods to cocktails, and even on your veggies for the fussy easters.

Aura Bora is the fastest growing sparkling water in the country. These 0-calorie waters are made from real herbs, fruits, and flowers like basil, cactus, and lavender. In 2021, they aired on Shark Tank and expanded into over 2000 retailers including Sprouts, Whole Foods, Thrive Market, Walmart, and hundreds of natural grocery stores.


We talk about the early days in proving out the concept slowly before committing to a huge order, what it was like to go on shark-tank and the aftermath of the experience and some of the mishaps she didn’t see coming; like when thousands of cans started freezing slash exploding. Crazy stuff.


While I’ve got you here > if you haven’t done so already… Your Hype Girl the BOOK comes out on February 28th. We’re having a launch week special that week so mark it in your diary.

She’s spent more than a decade building Kate Spade and then went on to do it all again with Frances Valentine. 

Frances Valentine was founded in 2016 alongside her close friends Kate and Andy Spade. Rooted in joyful self expression, the brand offers a spirited collection of original, vintage-modern apparel, shoes and accessories designed to brighten and delight the lives of the women who wear them, as well as a growing line of home goods.

In this ep we talk about

  • Building a fashion empire second time around
  • Why using traditional marketing methods might be the key to new growth > and to try anything out once

Kimai is a modern fine jewelry brand that delivers true traceability by using lab-grown diamonds and recycled 18k gold. By using lab-grown diamonds – which are physically and chemically identical to those that are mined – and recycled gold, they cut out all mines and middlemen and control the whole jewelry process, from design to delivery. They operate on a mission to prove that diamond mines are not forever, and that the biggest luxury is knowing where your jewellery comes from, and safe in the knowledge that it doesn't harm people or the planet.

In this episode we chat through the serendipitous moment that generated $150,000 worth of sales, her approach to fundraising and how they built a new brand in the midst of a pandemic.

We’re chatting through the pivots she made early on when she saw traction in a different space, how she deals with shipping dangerous goods, her thoughts on circular packaging and some key pieces of advice for entrepreneurs. The real key part of this episode is in the very last 10 minutes when she’s going through her 6 quick questions so make sure you tune into that bit. It is not to be missed.


Now before we get into the episode as you most probably know I am shouting loudly about my first book that comes out at the end of February featuring the stories and learnings from 51 of the mindblowing women from the first year on the show and I am just SO excited to share it with you! It’s the perfect book to pick up, flip to any page and get a dose of inspiration and learnings from female founders who have been there / done that. It’s the kind of book you can scribble, post it notes and highlight. It’s the kind of book you can read if you’re an entrepreneur, a future entrepreneur or just someone interested in the stories behind the brands we know and buy. And right now I am looking for different folks who might be able to support the book like freelance PR people, influencers or people with communities.


If you’re someone who might be able to help me get the word out, or you know someone who might be able to help me get the word out. I would love to meet you, slide in my IG dms so we can chat. If we aren’t friends already you can find me at @dooneroisin

It’s Doone here - host and hype girl. Today we’re learning from Amanda Klane, the founder of Yasso. A frozen greek yoghurt company that’s been putting smiles on faces since 2011.

 

Kindergarten friends turned entrepreneurs, founders Drew Harrington and Amanda Klane set out on a mission to create desserts that deliver on everyday indulgence with great taste, quality ingredients and superb nutritionals. Since hitting store shelves in 2011 as the first to market frozen Greek yogurt, Yasso quickly became one of the fastest-growing dessert brands in the world, disrupting the brand ranks of deeply entrenched competitors and attracting a loyal following of brand enthusiasts. 

In this episode we cover: 

  • The journey to building a business that does hundreds of millions in annual revenue
  • How to keep the energy and excitement in a business 10 years on and
  • Amanda’s important advice for food founders in 2022

Now before we get into the episode and incase you haven’t heard my recent announcement on Instagram - I have my very first book coming out at the end of February featuring the stories and learnings from 51 of the brilliant women from the first year on the show and I am just SO excited! If you’re someone who might be able to help me get the word out, or you know someone who might be able to help me get the word out. I would love to meet you, slide in my IG dms so we can chat.

Doone here. Your host and hype girl. Today on the show we’re learning from Fiona Chan, the founder behind a brand called Youthforia. While they’ve only launched just last year they’ve managed to build some crazy buzz in the beauty industry garnering more than 50m views on tiktok and growing! 

At Youthforia, they believe that makeup is an extension of your skincare. All of their products are formulated to be so good for your skin, you can sleep in it. Fiona actually tests all of their products by sleeping in it for an extended period of time. And so does her husband. Most conventional makeup brands formulate with fossil fuels and liquid plastics, which can be harmful or irritating for the skin. Instead, Youthforia use skin friendly plant based ingredients to provide luxurious textures and targeted treatments for your skin. Heaven, right? 

In this ep, we’re chatting about the beauty industry as a whole and Fiona’s advice for standing out in a saturated space, how she harnessed the power of tiktok to get traction and commits to creating 2 videos a day AND why you should get onto Supergreat if you’re in the beauty industry. 

Now before we get into the episode and incase you haven’t heard me talking about it yet - I have my very first book coming out at the end of February featuring the stories and learnings from 51 of these brilliant female founders from the first year of the show and I am just over the moon to be sharing this with you! If you’re someone who might be able to help me get the word out, or you know I need to talk to. I would love to meet you, please slide in my IG dms so we can chat. You can find me @dooneroisin

Founded in October 2017, Rizos Curls is a clean hair care brand creating products that embrace and celebrate the beauty of curls, coils & waves everywhere. In just under three years, Rizos Curls has amassed a global following of more than 300,000 followers on social media and ships to over 57 countries.

We chat about the origins of Julissa’s business, creating her own potions and formulas for hair to give to women and girls since she was in the 9th grade, and how she took her $80,000 of savings since she was a little girl and went all in to develop hundreds of samples over 4 years before finally landing on her best selling products that we see today. 

We also talk through the importance of small business owners standing up and shouting loudly to get noticed - the key thing to remember here is that everything is negotiable - but you’ll get to that in the episode. There’s so much love and energy and emotion throughout this talk - lots of lols and even some tears. I could speak to Julissa for literally ever and ever and I came away feeling so grateful to have met her and to hear this incredible and deeply personal story.

Bulletin is a premium, B2B wholesale marketplace where retailers and buyers go to discover, shop and support the best brands on the planet. So this episode is highly relevant to anyone listening in who has a product based business and wants to work with cool retailers to sell their products and reach new audiences.


We’re chatting about the humbles origins of Bulletin starting as as e-comm newsletter and how that grew into popups, retail stores and went on to be accepted into Y-Combinator which lead to a major pivot into a thriving tech platform... we’re talking about Ali’s top 3 pointers if you want to pitch for VC money and - important to note she just released a really bloody cool book about her journey and you should absolutely check it out, I have linked it in the show notes and it’s called How to build a goddamn empire.

Three Ships is an all-natural, vegan skincare brand on a mission to make clean beauty accessible for all women. The products are 100% plant-derived, certified cruelty-free, and, best of all, forever under $40. Founded in 2017, Three Ships was founded by chemical engineer Laura and business grad Connie after the two wondered why clean, vegan skincare cost so much. With only $3300 in their bank accounts, these female founders started making their own formulations in Connie’s apartment kitchen with the goal to create effective and affordable natural skincare products. 

This is a ridiculously insightful episode and you’re going to come away with plenty of actionable tips for your business. We talk about pro tips for retail expansion and how to make a partnership successful, we talk about key moments of growth and how to be scrappy in the beginning and some of the key trade shows you might want to invest in.

There’s some seriously cool insights in this episode... We talk through her approach to raising money in the early days and why you shouldn’t take stupid money. Her recent moment of partnering with jlo. Mind blowing stuff. And her explosive growth after going on shark tank plus everything in between. This is an episode that shows you the power of having a truly great product. I’ve come off this episode feeling so inspired and charged for my own journey. This is the kind of thing that really lights me on fire so I hope you love it too! 


If you haven’t heard of it before Poppi it’s the leading prebiotic soda and the fastest growing non-alcoholic beverage brand in the U.S. After appearing on Shark Tank in 2018, Poppi launched nationwide in retail and quickly became an Amazon best-seller.

Today on the show we’re chatting to Cara Oppenheimer about her new venture, goodbuy. And this episode is a little different to our usual ecomm founder stories. I came across a post on LinkedIn by Cara announcing her new brand and realised straight away that we have a lot of synergies in the missions that we have between goodbuy and Female Startup Club. We both strive to empower small business owners in ecommerce to create successful businesses; make money and be happy and fulfilled in life. And the way she’s doing that is through a ridiculously simple chrome extension. 

It’s the easy button for conscious shopping!

The way it works is that once you add it to your browser it automatically intercepts all your online shopping searches (think mega-retailers like amazon and target), and diverts you to the same products from over 183,000 small businesses.

The database has over 19 million products to ensure you get exactly what you need, the moment you need it, and shows you these products from a values-aligned small businesess like AAPI-owned, American made, Black-owned, certified ethical, sustainable, women owned and so many others 

They’re all about shopping small, shopping easily, and shopping what matters to you! How cool is that? 

I loved this episode so much! It’s the first time I’ve spoken to someone who’s built a chrome extension and it’s fascinating to hear. We talk through what it actually takes to build something like this in tech as a non technical founder, why it matters and a few other gems. I hope you enjoy it too.

Tbh is an Australian skincare range built specifically for the acne prone customer. The brand launched in March 2020 by Rachael and her mum with a novel treatment for acne, developed with a patented formula that targets biofilm in the skin. It’s pretty remarkable stuff that’s gaining crazy momentum because of how effective it is. And the proof is in the pudding - in the first 18 months of operating, they’ve hit more than 1m in sales and created a brand that’s impacting thousands of folks struggling with acne issues.


We talk about all the good stuff like how much she’s invested to get to these kind of numbers, how much she pays per influencer collab, what happened to their marketing plan when the iOS changes came in and how they currently acquire customers. It’s a really insightful chat and it opened my eyes to licensing formulas from other companies and the success you can have when you can pour fuel on the fire to accelerate growth.

We talk through the key hire you need in this space and why you don’t need an MBA to build a successful brand. Save your dollars and use it as startup capital. 

Headquartered in Los Angeles, AMASS makes clean, premium botanics for modern life. From alcoholic and non-alcoholic spirits to personal care products including hand sanitizer, hand soap, and lotions, AMASS uses natural botanicals to transform social and self-care rituals. Their products are proudly stocked in all 27 global locations of Soho House, as well as in 5 Michelin starred restaurants and 4 of the world’s Top 10 bars.

What I love about this episode is the perseverance that Hannah has undertaken into creating the brand that we see today. Starting in 2012 it took multiple pivots and years of iterating and tweaking her approach before things really caught steam in 2020. As they say, Rome wasn’t built in a day and overnight success takes 10 years. Literally. 


Owned by Hannah & Issa Rae, Sienna Naturals is setting a new standard for clean, plant-based performance in the textured hair care industry, one that is focused on hair and scalp health. Just like a skincare regimen, Sienna Naturals products create Wash Day Rituals that keep textured hair and scalp healthy, enabling customers to see immediate improvement and wear their hair in all of the magnificent and diverse ways people with kinks, curls, frizz, waves and texture choose - without compromising on ingredients.

She started this brand in 1990 which makes it almost as old as me and she’s still showing up everyday as excited as ever to learn and expand and grow which is truly something special to see. 

We’re talking through her journey in the early years when she was literally faxing her manufacturing company and taking out ads in the newspaper to sell her products through to today being a brand that’s partnered with folks like Kourtney Kardashian. I think we can all take some key insights and learnings from Britta’s laser focus on building this brand, her resilience and approach to keep building this company and what she would do differently if she were starting this thing again tomorrow. 


To rewind a little bit: Britta felt like her hair routine was holding her back instead of helping her. Her haircare routine meant tons of time wasted washing her hair and waiting forever while it dried. She didn’t want rough terry towels that cause breakage and she also didn’t want to wait hours for her to air dry or be damp enough to blow-dry. That all changed when she had her aha! moment, taking note of the high-performance fabrics found in ski wear that rapidly wick away moisture to keep skiers dry. From that inspiration, Britta developed the first AQUIS hair towel. It was lightweight and easy to use, with a proprietary microfiber called AQUITEX™ that rapidly wicks water away from hair. She had found her time-saving solution. This innovation led to the original hair turban shape. 20 years later, with a full line of Rapid Dry Hair Wraps and Towels selling over a million units every year, AQUIS continues to champion the message that less is more for hair—focusing on hair when it’s at its weakest (when it’s wet) to protect vulnerable strands and lock in strength.

Rooted in comfort and born out of the need of a creative outlet to cope with grief, Alyssa founded the Los Angeles-based brand DONNI in 2009 after the death of her father, Donald. Established first as a brand that created oversized scarves designed to be worn in countless ways, DONNI has now grown into a lifestyle brand offering ready-to-wear, accessories and jewelry. Years later, DONNI remains dedicated to empowering women with wardrobe essentials that make them feel confident and comfortable in their own skin.


In this episode we’re going through what it's been like to bootstrap a brand for more than 10 years, how to stand out in the fashion industry and what entrepreneurs should keep in mind when they’re starting a business in today’s world.

We chat through how she validated and landed on what their product was going to be, what made them sell out in 72 hours after launch (and multiple times since then) as well as some of her key pieces of advice peppered throughout. 

If you haven’t met Omsom yet, they bring proud, loud Asian flavors into your home kitchen. Vanessa and Kim Pham are first-generation Vietnamese-American sisters who started Omsom to reclaim the cultural integrity of Asian cuisines that are often diluted in the mainstream grocery aisle. They partner with iconic Asian chefs to craft rip-and-pour starters with all the specialty sauces, seasonings, and aromatics needed for specific Asian dishes.

She sold her business for $105 Million in less than 3 years. This is Michelle Cordeiro Grant’s inspiring story (with tactical insights!) Tue, 28 Sep 2021 11:00:00 GMT 43:22 Buzzsprout-9266745 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa31238f6100125e02ee 653afa31238f6100125e02ee 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 217 We’ve got Michelle Cordeiro Grant, the founder of LIVELY, talking us through how she founded and sold her company within 3 quick years for 105 million dollars. I. know. It’s crazy but the story is even crazier. I don’t want to give too much away but we talk through her unique launch that was a combination of strategy and luck, generating 130k emails in 48 hours. 

LIVELY is a brand that empowers women and provides a sense of community. They deliver lingerie, activewear, swimwear, loungewear, and self-care that take the best elements of high-style and ultimate comfort from each category to achieve a brand new POV of lingerie called Leisurée. 

But it’s more than its product — since launching in 2016, LIVELY has built an Ambassador network of 150,000+ members, opened four retail stores, developed several sustainable product collections, maintained its commitment to “Price Equality,” hosted hundreds of IRL and virtual events, launched a podcast, provided a platform for its community to share their passions and projects, and developed retail partnerships with Nordstrom, Madewell, and Target (launching a diffusion line called All. You. LIVELY with Target.com and select stores). 

Growing from its concept stage, to $15m in funding to fuel its growth, all the way to an acquisition of $105M by Wacoal in 2019, LIVELY is poised to grow even more and make bigger and bolder strides towards its mission of inclusivity, community, sustainability, and accessibility. LIVELY is an experience and mindset that reminds, inspires, and enables its customers to live life passionately, purposefully, and confidently, doing what they love, with the people they love.

But I am back in action after 2 weeks of not recording any eps for the first time in 18 months and holy frikken moly. But I’m so proud to be bringing you this episode. It’s with a friend of mine, who you probably have seen on the likes of Instagram doing her super cool things. Lil is Australia’s favourite woman. Truly. 

It’s a big call, I know, but she’s definitely one of mine and I know a lotta folks who agree with me. My bet is she’s about to be one of yours. She’s a dj, podcasters, best selling author, diy guru, hilarious instagrammed as well as entrepreneur. And a damn good one, at that. So in this episode let us take you behind the scenes into her story, but first - and if you haven’t been blessed with her content on Instagram - just pop on over. Have a quick peek. Have a lol. Do some critical thinking and then come on back to listen to how she’s built her colourful world and business, Flex Factory

The stuff no one tells you in beauty with Freck Founder Remi]]> Tue, 24 Aug 2021 11:00:00 GMT 54:48 Buzzsprout-9071827 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa31238f6100125e02fd 653afa31238f6100125e02fd 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 202 Today we’re learning some serious stuff about the beauty industry from Remi, the founder of Freck. Let me ask you something… Do you know what a blanket order is? I’ve done over 200 episodes and this has never come up!!!! So if you don’t know. Welcome to the club. Prepare to pick up some nifty tips to reducing your unit costs. We also cover negotiating your margins and some know-how around fill rates in the industry. This is also highlighting some of the epic fails that Remi persevered through to get the brand where it is today stocked on the shelves of Sephora, asos, revolve and the likes. Remi is the entrepreneur we all need to learn from. She is a solid 10 out of 10.


Freck Beauty is a clean beauty brand inspired by Remi's hunt for a perfect freckle. During her years of R&D on what ultimately became the world's first freckle cosmetic, FRECK OG, she found that there wasn’t a bold beauty brand that represented everything from “moisturizer-and-go” to “blue-flame-eyeliner-energy." After launching with FRECK OG in 2017, which quickly took the internet by storm, Remi connected with Des Wilson - now the company's COO. Together, Remi and Des have since expanded Freck Beauty into skincare with the Cactus Collection, and color cosmetics with the CHEEKSLIME range.

]]> Today we’re learning some serious stuff about the beauty industry from Remi, the founder of Freck. Let me ask you something… Do you know what a blanket order is? I’ve done over 200 episodes and this has never come up!!!! So if you don’t know. Welcome to the club. Prepare to pick up some nifty tips to reducing your unit costs. We also cover negotiating your margins and some know-how around fill rates in the industry. This is also highlighting some of the epic fails that Remi persevered through to get the brand where it is today stocked on the shelves of Sephora, asos, revolve and the likes. Remi is the entrepreneur we all need to learn from. She is a solid 10 out of 10.


Freck Beauty is a clean beauty brand inspired by Remi's hunt for a perfect freckle. During her years of R&D on what ultimately became the world's first freckle cosmetic, FRECK OG, she found that there wasn’t a bold beauty brand that represented everything from “moisturizer-and-go” to “blue-flame-eyeliner-energy." After launching with FRECK OG in 2017, which quickly took the internet by storm, Remi connected with Des Wilson - now the company's COO. Together, Remi and Des have since expanded Freck Beauty into skincare with the Cactus Collection, and color cosmetics with the CHEEKSLIME range.

I learned so much in this episode when it comes to tips on launching into the likes of Target. How she pitched her manufacturer to get them to fund the entire development process which blew my mind, why she chose a sampling program and shipped circa 5000 samples out over performance marketing in the beginning and the challenge that indie brands have when wanting to succeed in retail.

As the daughter of the Belvedere and Chopin vodka co-founder, Alexandra brings the same level of quality and experience her family company was built on to her first solo venture. Kasama is distilled in the Philippines, bottled at her family's distillery in Poland, and enjoyed around the world. Leaving behind the typical tropes associated with old-school rum brands like sailors and pirates and absent of heavily spiced flavor profiles - Kasama brings a refreshing approach in both branding and palate to a category in need of a breath of fresh air. 

If you’re in the alcohol industry or you’re wanting to launch a spirits brand, this episode was a real eye opener for me. We chat through how she sold out of her first batch of 12,000 bottles in less than 3 months, why she’s not optimising for profits and what she learned from the family biz that she’s putting into action with Kasama. 

Omg. July 12!!!!!! Have you marked this date in your diary?! It’s the launch date for our private network and if you’re a woman building a cpg slash ecomm brand, this is built with you in mind. You can pop your name on our waitlist which is growing everyday and makes me so excited to see - at femalestartupclub.com/waitlist and we’re going to let you know the second it goes live. We only have 50 spots, we’re starting small and trust me you’re going to want to be part of this from the get go.

SELFMADE is a culmination of Stephanie’s lived experiences and spurred from healing from her own mental health crisis. She began her journey as a field organizer on the Obama presidential campaign, and quickly moved to the White House where she worked for the First Lady Michelle Obama. She then changed direction from politics into the prestige of the beauty industry as a product developer at MAC Cosmetics in New York City. While dealing with depression and anxiety, she left the corporate world to travel the globe solo and hear from women about their experiences about their own self-worth and emotional wellbeing. That’s when SELFMADE was born.

If you love Stephanie’s story and you’re building an ecommerce brand in the beauty space, you might be interested in checking out our private network where you can access modern mentorship from women on the show, like minded women in the ecommerce / cpg space and experts. You can pop your name on the waitlist at femalestartupclub.com/waitlist and you’ll be the first to know when we open our doors for founding members.

]]> What is the role of Amazon when it comes to CPG brands? With Swoon Co-Founder Cristina Ros Blankfein What is the role of Amazon when it comes to CPG brands?

If you’re building a brand in the beverage space - this is an episode for you! This is a chat about the industry overall, the role that Amazon plays in a CPG brand and how a rebrand led to the biggest step change in the business.


Swoon is modernizing classic drinks, starting with lemonade and iced tea that hits a sweet spot previously missing in the beverage aisle. Swoon’s low-glycemic take on drinks offers a sweetness profile that sits between a seltzer and a fruit juice, so you can always have another. The brand was founded by two friends with the same need: a Type-1 diabetic and a mom of three, both looking for full-flavor, healthy beverage options.


If you’re interested in learning more from Cristina and the women you’re hearing from in the show - be sure to sign up to the waitlist for our private digital network where you can access a community of women building cpg brands in the ecomm space and what we’re calling modern mentorship.

We’re chatting about the humbles origins of Bulletin starting as as e-comm newsletter and how that grew into popups, retail stores and went on to be accepted into Y-Combinator which lead to a major pivot into a thriving tech platform... we’re talking about Ali’s top 3 pointers if you want to pitch for VC money and - important to note she just released a really bloody cool book about her journey and you should absolutely check it out, I have linked it in the show notes and it’s called How to build a goddamn empire.

Founded in October 2017, Rizos Curls is a clean hair care brand creating products that embrace and celebrate the beauty of curls, coils & waves everywhere. In just under three years, Rizos Curls has amassed a global following of more than 300,000 followers on social media and ships to over 57 countries.

We chat about the origins of Julissa’s business, creating her own potions and formulas for hair to give to women and girls since she was in the 9th grade, and how she took her $80,000 of savings since she was a little girl and went all in to develop hundreds of samples over 4 years before finally landing on her best selling products that we see today. 

We also talk through the importance of small business owners standing up and shouting loudly to get noticed - the key thing to remember here is that everything is negotiable - but you’ll get to that in the episode. There’s so much love and energy and emotion throughout this talk - lots of lols and even some tears. I could speak to Julissa for literally ever and ever and I came away feeling so grateful to have met her and to hear this incredible and deeply personal story.

]]> What it really takes to get your beauty brand stocked in Sephora, with Alpyn Beauty’s Founder Kendra Kolb Butler What it really takes to get your beauty brand stocked in Sephora, with Alpyn Beauty’s Founder Kendra Kolb Butler Sat, 15 May 2021 11:00:00 GMT 46:44 Buzzsprout-8517962 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa31238f6100125e0328 653afa31238f6100125e0328 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 159 Today I’m joined by Kendra Kolb Butler, the Founder of Alpyn Beauty. 

Alpyn Beauty® is the first and only skin care line to sustainably harvest wildcrafted ingredients straight from the mountains of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The plants they harvest are some of the hardest-working and most resilient botanicals that are conditioned to survive in an unforgiving climate (high altitude, low humidity, little oxygen, intense sun, harsh wind and heavy snowfall). When applied to skin, these plants perform just like they do in the wild—preserving, protecting and strengthening your skin for increased resiliency, which results in skin that looks, feels and behaves more youthfully.

We’re chatting about creating a unique offering and how you can approach the retail piece before you even place an order and how to get your brand stocked in the likes of Sephora.

Lia is an earth-friendly healthcare company on a mission to revolutionize reproductive health through the development of innovative products. The company's first product, which came to market just a couple of months ago, is the FDA cleared Lia pregnancy test – which is changing the historically wasteful product into a plastic-free, flushable, biodegradable form.

We’re covering some key insights into the timeline it takes to develop an idea like this that doesn’t exist in the world, spoiler alert: it’s a 6-9 year journey and the kind of money you actually need to fund the research and development piece.

And I say that both because they’re supporters of this show AND because they actually are the best when it comes to functionality and how incredibly easy the platform is to use with everything set up for you. Today I’m joined by Becca Davison - she’s the co-founder of a company called unbuckleme that she’s been building with her mum! 


When Becca's first daughter was born, her mom offered to help with childcare, but quickly realized that her mom couldn't unbuckle her daughter's car seat because of arthritis in her thumb. Her mom is an occupational therapist, and decided to invent a tool to solve her own problem. Becca recognized the need, and together, they have launched their business. After an appearance on Shark Tank in 2020, and Good Morning America in 2021, UnbuckleMe is gaining global attention as an essential car seat tool. 


In this episode we chat through different topics like how to patent your invention, how to choose whether to focus on profitability or growth at all costs, the SharkTank experience and startup capital.

The products are 100% plant-derived, certified cruelty-free, and, best of all, forever under $40. Founded in 2017, Three Ships was founded by chemical engineer Laura and business grad Connie after the two wondered why clean, vegan skincare cost so much.

BYBI is a vegan, sustainable skincare brand that champions clean and innovative products designed to improve overall skin health rather than catering to specific skin types. Co-Founders Dominika and Elsie have always had a vested interest in clean beauty and began their platform Clean Beauty Insiders, a natural beauty blog and podcast, in 2015 before officially launching BYBI in the UK in 2017.

As a leader in sustainable skincare, BYBI consistently audits all facets of their business to find ways to reduce carbon emissions. From ingredient sourcing to manufacturing to packaging, BYBI has declared a crusade against carbon and is officially completely carbon-neutral and o route to becoming carbon negative, a huge achievement for their company. 

In this episode we chat about building community before launching a brand and the impact that has, what it means for the unit economics when you go down the all sustainable route and their recent retail expansion into the US market and how to make that a success.

Co-Founder of Red Clay Hot Sauce. 

Like the name suggests, this is a mighty hot sauce. Red Clay is a cold-pressed, made-for-foodies hot sauce & hot honey brand, which was named "Tabasco for the 21st century" by Food and Wine Magazine. Crafted by a talented Southern Chef, Red Clay sauces lead with flavor to enhance your plate of food, versus burning your palate with excess heat. 

Red Clay is thoughtful about craft and high-quality ingredients, which is why chefs and foodies (like Martha Stewart!!) prefer this sauce over others. It's the only cold-pressed, fermented hot sauce and the only 100% raw hot honey on the grocery shelf. 

This is such a great episode for anyone in the food biz. Molly really takes us through what the growth has looked like year on year - right down to the numbers, specifically how she got the brand into Wholefoods and what it looks like to join a pre existing brand as a co-founder later on in the journey. Plenty of key insights that I know you’re going to appreciate!!

Chillhouse is an experiential flagship in Soho which offers a suite of spa services and in addition to their physical space, they have a line of products ranging from press-on chill tips to candles and Chill Wear. The Chill Times is the media arm of Chillhouse that covers beauty, health, fitness, and wellness topics.

Born and raised in New York City, Cyndi has been dubbed “The Queen of Chill” through her creation of Chillhouse. The idea was sparked when she and her husband realised the city didn’t offer something that was aspirational and affordable, and their desire to create a place with something for everyone led to the creation of Chillhouse -- which is now the authority of modern self-care. 

In this episode we’re talking through bringing this vision into reality, how a cult product can be used as a major discovery tool and how the ultimate Girlboss of entrepreneurs got involved with Chillhouse in the beginning, getting Cyndi to think and dream bigger.

When TomboyX founders, Fran Dunaway and Naomi Gonzalez, started the company out of their garage, they did so because of one simple fact - they wanted underwear that fit who they are, not who others told them to be.

With HATCH Founder Ariane Goldman Thu, 04 Feb 2021 12:00:00 GMT 32:42 Buzzsprout-7605184 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa31238f6100125e0353 653afa31238f6100125e0353 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 116 Joining me on today’s episode is Ariane Goldman. Founder of HATCH. 

HATCH is a contemporary lifestyle brand dedicated to chic clothing for before, during and after pregnancy. While pregnant in 2010, Ariane noticed a void in the maternity clothing market and it was at that moment the concept of HATCH was born.

The brand is designed to celebrate the many changes that a woman’s body experiences throughout their pregnancy, while making them feel as chic and beautiful as ever. In a natural expansion for the brand, HATCH Mama non-toxic beauty was launched in 2018 providing plant based self-care essentials for all mothers. The solution driven lines are crafted to carry women through pregnancy, and beyond.

In this episode we cover what learnings Ariane was able to take from her first venture into the second, how she got it off the ground and the moment that everything changed - when Megan Markle propelled the brand into the global spotlight after wearing a HATCH dress.

Táche is a female, minority founded and family-run brand that launched recently on November 18th and is the first true pistachio milk in the U.S. It’s healthier than oat milk and tastier than almond milk as can be regularly consumed alone, with no added oils, low in carbs/sugar, steams and foams extremely well, and has a smaller water footprint this is something I cannot wait to try myself. Distinctly delicious, Táche is answering today’s evolving consumer demand for a more healthy, socially impactful and sustainable plant-based milk option.

In this episode we cover the blueprint that Roxana took to launch the brand along with a step by step process of what she needed to do first, why she realised early on she wouldn’t be able to bootstrap this company and her advice for entrepreneurs with a big idea. 

Táche is proud to advocate for change through its non-profit partnership with






The Lower Eastside Girls Club of NYC as part of its mission to foster girls’ education and provide them with the mentorship, tools, and support they need to become healthy, successful women

Farmgirl Flowers reimagined the way people shop for flowers, plants and non-perishable gifts by offering fewer, better options and a best-in-class unboxing and customer experience. Christina started this business in 2010 and is the only sole female founder & CEO of a large scale e-commerce floral company, who bootstrapped the business into $60+ million in annual revenue.

In this episode we’re covering how Christina went in pursuit of disrupting an industry she had experienced a problem in, how she bootstrapped her brand from a $49k investment into a business that will do more than 60 million in revenue this year, the strategies that she used to acquire customers without a marketing budget and why this year has been her biggest year of growth. 

I so enjoyed this episode and came away feeling so invigorated in my own pursuit to build Female Startup Club - and I hope you get that same energy too. As always, please do subscribe, rate and review the podcast if you’re loving these founder stories.

This is an incredibly special milestone for me as it’s our 100th episode! I started Female Startup Club to help other women in progress, like myself, learn and be inspired by women who are building badass businesses and changing the world and I’m so thrilled to be speaking with an entrepreneur who has built something really incredible over the last 15 years.

Born in San Francisco, hint, inc. was founded in 2005 by entrepreneur Kara Goldin. It started as a healthy lifestyle brand best known for its flagship product, hint water- a delicious, unsweetened flavored water. Kara started the company with a simple idea: to make water that tastes great. To do away with all the sugar and diet sweeteners. And to give her family and friends something better that they would love. Today, hint is going beyond water to give people better, healthier experiences that they can truly enjoy and share.

We chat through her mission for building this business, what propelled her forward in realising that she would need to create and educate in an entirely new category and her advice for entrepreneurs with a big idea.

Originally a cooking school that started out in 2012, Haven’s Kitchen is now helping cooks of all kinds in the kitchen with their ridiculously yummy looking, vibrant squeeze sauces.

I highly recommend jumping on the website to get a taste for what these delicious pouches look like. As soon as you see them I can guarantee you’ll want them in your life! I’m keeping faith that they’ll make their way to a wholefoods in London someday soon. 

In this episode we’re covering Ali’s 8 year journey and so many lessons she’s learned along the way including the major moment she realised she would have to close down the best performing side of the business earlier this year due to the pandemic.

For our 80th episode, I wanted to do something a little different to our usual founder stories. But let’s rewind a year. Female Startup Club was born so we could empower women to launch startups and solve global problems, primarily through ecommerce. On May 27th when we launched our very first program for women we also knew we wanted to give back to someone who aligned with our message and in our mission, and for me that meant the Malala Fund. We donate a portion of our sales to Malala Fund, to help the fight for girls rights to have access to 12 years of free, safe, quality education. 

So for me, this is a really special episode. Suzanne and I are talking about what it means to have every single girl in the world having access to education. What it means for society, what it means for the economy - and what it means for girls. 

Thanks for being part of the Female Startup Club episode! If you know someone who would benefit from hearing this episode please do pass it along so they can have a listen.

She started creating a prototype for her product at home and then set about finding someone to help her bring this idea to life. 

We’re talking about the specific steps she took to validate her idea - which was pure genius, how much of her savings she needed to get started, the problems she faced when she started the patent process, what it’s like going through the target accelerator program and the exacts steps she took to grow from 100k in yearly revenue to $1m in sales all the while being a one-woman show.

Her advice on marketing regulated products and what they’ve done to stand out, dealing with the bias that exists between men and women’s sexual health companies, and why it’s important to be weird.

It’s like that thing that you know you need to do - that will prevent most of the issues with your teeth and gums yet you don’t do it. And you certainly don’t meet many people who say they LOVE flossing. Right? Well, Chrystle and Catherine are changing that and the way we think about flossing. 

Founded by a dentist and her self confessed lazy flosser sister, Cocofloss is on a mission to make flossing a fun and rewarding part of everyone’s self-care routine. They set out to make it a ritual to love instead of something that was a total pain in the butt. By tapping into human behaviour and taking note from brands who create stunning packaging and products that women actually want to highlight on their bathroom shelfie, Cocofloss set out to create a beautifully packaged piece that you’d be proud to display at the front and centre of your bathroom cabinet to keep it front of mind. 

They also took other pain points like how it felt between your teeth, the colour of floss, the smell of the floss and even what its made from to flip the current experience upside down and make this something a ritual you actually enjoy doing every single day. 

This episode got me wanting to floss immediately and I hope it does the same for you!

And neither could her friends. The two set out to create a towel company that was the best in the industry and after almost a year of development, launched their company with great success. Their towels are made in Portugal through a third generation family owned manufacturer and they’ve worked to create the soft, plush, fluffy and absorbent towels you really want to live in your bathroom. They also offer embroidery services so you can customise them as you please.

After learning about the jewellery industry and the dark side of gold and diamonds, she set her intentions to create a brand full of transparency, being completely ethical and sustainable. 

Viv invested 1 million dollars of her own money and started creating her new venture, but what she didn’t expect was to launch and be met with zero sales. She shares the real heartache of going through major ups and downs in business and how she came out the other side.


We also talk about a company that’s been critical in her success, Wayflyer. They offer revenue based growth financing for commerce brands of up to 500,000 to support inventory purchases and scaling through performance marketing without taking any equity. It’s a great solution for brands who are doing well and need cash injections on an ongoing basis.

In 2018 Emma set out to create the world’s first collapsable straw and make an impact on our oceans and the planet. She launched her idea on Kickstarter with the goal to raise around $12,000 and instead it went absolutely bonkers, raising 2 million dollars in total with around 100,000 straw orders. You might think it was a good enough reason to celebrate, but there were plenty of hurdles that came with it’s success. 

Today we’re chatting about what makes a good kickstarter and what happened after the campaign went viral. Why it’s important to protect your intellectual property against the manufacturers who are out there specifically to steal your ideas and flood the market with cheap knock offs, and how to set your own campaign up for success.

They also have a sister company called Everyone, which is the more accessible line that’s affordable and for everyone. 

Susan’s been in business for a very long time, 25 years to be precise. She launched EO as a 4 piece collection to Bloomingdales from her garage in 1995, all while being a a single mum and hustling every single day to pay the bills and keep the lights on, fast forward to today the business still remains independently owned by her alongside her co-founder Brad and pulls in around 50million dollars in revenue each year. 

If you’ve been listening to my podcasts you’ll already be familiar with the kinds of topics I touch on; we talk about the origin story, the marketing, the challenges, the money… and all that good stuff is totally jam packed packed into this episode, but what I loved most about my conversation with Susan is the key pearls of wisdom dotted throughout. Like the importance of pursuing the journey and the actual day to day of building a business rather than the pot of money at the end, and the why it’s critical as we move forward in the world to have women in complete control of their lives and being at the forefront of leadership. 

This was such an amazing conversation and I’m so excited for every ear that finds this episode. And please do share it with anyone you think will benefit from this story.

Imagine having to use dirty rags instead of tampons or pads and being forced to drop out of school in elementary - all because of your period. For millions of women and girls around the world - this is a reality. Enter Cora. 

Cora is a purpose driven fem-care brand that’s on a mission to build a better future for all women, all around the world, founded by Molly Hayward. Molly is one of those sparkly women I felt like I could chat to for hours about her mission over the last decade and what she’s managed to build with Cora. An elevated period brand for the modern woman, with a major social 1 for 1 give back scheme to girls in need. 

Since 2016, Cora has donated well over 10 million pads and has helped provide reproductive health education to roughly 15,000 girls in Kenya and India. This is one of the most inspiring women I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing and I hope you love the episode.

After spending her career working on fashion week's around the world and editorial shoots with mega brands like Fendi, she started to see the negative effects of heat and products on our head, and set out to create a modern hair care business designed to keep your scalp and hair healthy.


We’re chatting about her journey and how she’s gone about creating a product that didn't exist in the market, the power of a striking brand, what challenges come along with committing to a 100% sustainable brand and the argument for Amazon vs Netaporter.

We’re covering the challenges Nia faces in building a business that fits into what the government calls a ‘high risk’ space, how she works around the fact that normal marketing channels aren’t accessible for her and why we need more consumer education and regulations to evolve.

]]> <![CDATA[How Sarah Lee & Christine Chang introduced the K-beauty phenom to the world through their cult brand Glow Recipe, and the one-step-at-a-time approach that lead them to profitability 3 months in]]> Mon, 04 May 2020 12:00:00 GMT 49:40 Buzzsprout-3613057 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa31238f6100125e03bb 653afa31238f6100125e03bb 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 12 Hey guys! Welcome back to Female Startup Club. If you’ve been following along on my Instagram you’ll know how excited I was to be recording this next episode with Sarah Lee and Christine Chang, the founders of Glow Recipe. 

You’ve probably seen this brand on social media — their Instagram has more than 725,000 followers at the time of recording — or maybe you’ve heard about their most loved Watermelon Sleep Mask which sold out 7 times consecutively and amassed 5000 person waiting lists at the time of launch… 

In today’s episode I got to chat to Sarah and Christine about the wild ride they’ve been on over the last few years and what it’s been like to build a brand at this scale. It’s packed with the good stuff and loads of advice for other entrepreneurs and I’m just so chuffed that this interview came about. 

We ended up having a few tech issues so bear with us while we have a giggle throughout the ep, and in the end we ran out of time to do the 6 quick questions! But it’ll be back to business as usual for the next one so don’t worry. 

TOPICS WE COVER:

  • The origin story of Glow Recipe 
  • Bootstrapping the business through self funded startup capital
  • Pivoting from a DTC ecommerce k-beauty curation website to a product line of their own 
  • Bringing k-beauty to the American consumer and introducing a new product to a new market 
  • The Shark Tank experience 
  • “One step at a time approach. You need to be patient and resilient and stay focused on what matters for your business.” 
  • Navigating the relationship of being close friends and co-founders and the key to success 
  • Launching in partnership with Sephora and advice for other brands wanting to follow suit 
  • Lessons from working in a huge global corporate company; L'Oréal
  • The realisation moments that led to the first product; Watermelon Sleep Mask
  • The importance of packaging and focusing on the experience of a product; how it feels in your hand, what it looks like, how it makes you feel, what it looks like on your shelfie 
  • The Influencer launch strategy they used 
  • The ONE key moment that really moved the needle and sold out the entire site 
  • How the brand keeps the community engaged and evolving, in particular through social media and surprise and delight pop-ups
  • Why it’s important to listen to your community and implement the feedback you receive 
  • What’s working in marketing at the moment 
  • Advice for women wanting to launch a brand

Did you know chewing gum has plastic in it and it’s the world’s second most common form of litter? Zabrina Ziegler on how to build a sustainable startup and True Gum’s mission to educate and create impact. Mon, 27 Apr 2020 09:00:00 GMT 58:50 Buzzsprout-3521245 false https://shows.acast.com/female-startup-club/episodes/653afa31238f6100125e03bc 653afa31238f6100125e03bc 653afa2bab9fa2001294baa7 full 1 11 Welcome back to another episode of Female Startup Club. The flavour of the hour today is a nifty brand called True Gum that produces all natural, plastic free chewing gum out of Denmark. And yes I know exactly what you're thinking... And it is true. Chewing Gum has plastic in it and how gross is that. But the funny thing about this brand is that I actually spotted them in my favourite cafe in Geneva and bought a pack, loved it, searched it on IG and became an instant fangirl. They've got such a beautiful and educational Instagram which is where I learnt that chewing gum has plastic in it and after I googled the brand I was happy to see there's a female founder in the mix, and alas that's my intro to the brand. I got in touch on Instagram and the rest is history.


To put things into perspective, True Gum is now stocked in thousands of supermarkets around Europe and the world, and is producing up to 500 kilos of chewing gum each day in their own factory.


TOPICS COVERED:

  • Zabrina’s life before working on True Gum
  • The True Gum origin story
  • How they reached their first customers
  • Investing and partnering with another Startup to grow your product
  • The struggles of switching from kitchen production to a factory manufacturer
  • The importance of having the right packaging
  • How to sell your product in a large retail store, merchandising and POS 
  • Reaching online customers
  • How having the right investors can help your product development
  • Educating customers on the right choices for being sustainable and making the way in big supermarkets
  • True Gum: Focusing on being plastic-free
  • How Covid-19 has impacted the product
  • Plastic waste and how it affects our environment
  • The True Gum marketing strategy: Being organic and plastic free

  • How to fund your startup when you quit your day job
  • Navigating the manufacturing process with no prior knowledge and the power of reaching out to friends of friends

  • Launch strategy + puzzle parties (OMG SO FUN!)

This is the first episode of @femalestartupclub that I’ve recorded from the comfort of my bedroom floor, and I’m pretty sure that's what you’d call seriously *adapting* to quarantine life. 

Today I’m chatting to Amy Rushworth, she’s a confidence coach, speaker and host of her namesake podcast The Amy Rushworth Show — and it’s an episode full of the feel good stuff we need now more than ever. Especially in moments of stress and anxiety during this time, she’s someone to tune into and soak up her happy vibrations. I definitely am. 

Amy’s a gorgeous friend of mine who’s been building her empire over the last few years here in London. She radiates warmth and love, and when you’re with her you truly feel seen and heard. From a party girl working in fashion, making little money and hitting rock bottom in life - to becoming one of the UK’s leading confidence coaches and building the business of her dreams guiding women to transform their lives, earning more money than ever before and being truly fulfilled has filled my cup to watch on from the sidelines. I was super excited to talk to her and ask her all of the questions! Join us as we discuss how to build a business as a life coach (and make serious money doing it!), the importance of continuous learning and self development to achieve your goals and how to manifest your goals using mindset and action to get to where you want to be in life. 

TOPICS WE COVER:

  • The journey of becoming a life coach 
  • The importance of continuous learning and self development to achieve your goals
  • How to Manifest your goals, and using Mindset & Action to get to where you want to be in life
  • Imposter syndrome and how to deal with it 
  • The power of language and the techniques to create possibilities and put it into action
  • How to expand a coaching biz to introduce multiple revenue streams 
  • How to expand your business to introduce multiple revenue streams 
  • Online education including Marie Forleo’s B School 
  • “Money Mindset” 
  • Learning to disconnect from the criticism that can come with being someone public facing
  • Building a business with a remote team of flexible workers rather than full time employees
  • Scaling up with freelancers
  • Manifesting: what is it and how you can start doing it consciously today
  • How social conditioning from childhood years take us out of abundance and into a scarcity mindset
  • The evil in Self Limiting Beliefs and your inner critic 
  • Practising daily gratitude during the pandemic and a simple exercise to start immediately 
  • Make Your Magic Academy: an 8 week course to radically transform your life starting on April 27th 
  • Using where you are in your menstrual cycle to propel you forward

This next mini ep that you’re about to hear is actually out of the regular 6 Q’s format that I’ve been harping on about since Female Startup Club launched. Elyse Daniels is a well seasoned founder, she’s 10 years into her business creating customised jackets for dance wear for groups of more than 25 people and she’s had a bunch of crazy success - my most favourite being that JUSTIN BIEBER wore one of her customised jackets… I KNOW. Let that sink in for a second. 


Anyway, she’s currently going through the sale of her biz at the moment and when we caught up before filming this ep she was telling me about what it was like on the journey of finding a business partner, and how her friends likened it to single life and the big bad scary world of dating. Soo I’m just jumping in her to remind you that throughout the ep she’s talking about finding her business partner and how it’s pretty same same to finding a lover partner: it’s not a recap not of her actual dating life - LOL.

Gen’s successfully exited two businesses in the last 8 years, she runs a Facebook community called LMBDW for women in business that’s grown to more than 120k women worldwide AND she’s working on a third brand that’s disrupting the men’s skincare space (HOLY SMOKES...
