Starting with Shein and Everlane: Chinese e-commerce giant Shein is acquiring US apparel retailer Everlane from majority owner L Catterton. The transaction values Everlane at approximately $100 million, a steep discount to the valuations it commanded during the height of the e-commerce boom. This story broke on Sunday and within hours the internet had fully convicted Everlane.

]]> 2331 The Beauty Category Nobody Took Seriously Just Produced a Sellout Hit: Inside 4AM's Target Launch and $4M Fundraise With Jade Beguelin 4AM founder Jade Beguelin is on the show letting us in on the beauty news everyone's talking about: her brand's $4 million fundraise, launch into Target, and the sell-out success of the brand's Clean Sheets makeup wipes. After years of bootstrapping, building an audience on TikTok, and tinkering with their product offering, 4AM just found product-market fit in a massive way. Their Clean Sheets wipes have sold out four production runs and grown the business more than 4x year over year. But here's the thing: every dermatologist, skin influencer, and makeup expert will tell you to skip the face wipe. And yet makeup wipes are a top 10 best seller on Amazon. Customers were buying them anyway, ignoring the advice, because sometimes convenience wins. Jade and her co-founder Sabrina saw that gap between what experts recommend and what people actually do, and decided to just make makeup wipes that were better. This premise worked much better than trying to compete on another serum in a crowded category full of innovation. Until now, 4AM was funded entirely by the founders' savings and a handful of $5K–$10K angel checks. The brand launched in 2021 with two serums and a simple mission: products for lazy routines and late nights. It wasn't until they reimagined the face wipe with Clean Sheets in 2025 that everything clicked — a product that's genuinely effective, built for the way people already live, and made for the kind of video content that stops a scroll.

]]> 1977 The TikTok Live Strategy Getting This New Brand In Front of Millions Every Week (Untouched Blooms) When Untouched Blooms founder Max Summersett started selling handcrafted phone grips on Etsy in 2024 she made a couple of orders every day. Then, within a year of launching on Shopify, she sold 10,000 products (without a single paid ad). She launched using a few hundred dollars saved from cycling around Miami Beach selling flowers. Today, the brand’s used by influencers like Alix Earle and Morgan Riddle, and is best known for turning pet photos into phone grips. Right around when Max launched, a different brand was going viral on TikTok with a similar product. They were racking up 600,000 to 800,000 views but didn’t ship to the US. TikTok kept serving those videos to US audiences anyway, and people looked for a local alternative. Max’s product appeared in the search bar, and because she could actually fulfil the order, the sales started flowing to her. Orders jumped from a handful a day to 35, then 60. The lesson she took from it: if something is trending in another market and isn’t available locally, you can capitalize on the search traffic. Once Max saw that demand was real, she moved from Etsy to Shopify to start selling on a platform she owned, and stop handing over a portion of sales to Etsy. Max built on the momentum with influencer gifting. She doesn’t have a PR agency or huge budgets for elaborate mailers, so DMs creators and focuses on making every package feel like it was created by a friend. She bedazzles the boxes, includes photos and spends energy making the PR look like it’s from a human, not a brand. Every influencer who has posted about her has mentioned the packaging.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices NYU Stern professor, bestselling author, and all-around business powerhouse Suzy Welch is joining Jasmine Garnsworthy on the Female Founder World podcast, and trust me, you’re going to want to hear this one. Suzy’s done it all: she’s reported for the Miami Herald, anchored on network TV, written multiple New York Times bestsellers, founded and sold a music tech startup, and now she’s shaking up the world of purpose-driven career discovery with Becoming You Labs.

In this episode, Suzy gets real about her unconventional journey, from her “hippie" Portland childhood to Harvard, to building a career at the intersection of business, media, and tech. She opens up about founding in the midst of grief, what it’s really like to reinvent yourself, and the surprising questions everyone should ask to find their purpose (spoiler: it’s not as woo-woo as you think).

We also dive into Suzy’s latest research on Gen Z’s values - why only 2% of them match what today’s hiring managers want, and what that means for founders hiring young talent. Suzy shares her honest take on balancing ambition and family (yes, you can do both!), her practical framework for reinvention, and why memoirs are her secret weapon for founder inspiration.

She sought to create the brand she wished existed, and Kulfi beauty was born. 

Since launching three years ago, Kulfi was accepted into the Sephora Accelerate program, launched exclusively at Sephora, and now sells one of their bestselling Kajal eyeliners every five minutes. Wild!

In this conversation Priyanka shares her learnings in building and scaling super quickly, what founders aiming for Sephora should know, the content strategy that keeps them going viral, and how she’s scaled her team without a ton of full time hires.

After reaching her self described “rock bottom” with dieting, Danielle and her childhood bestie Whitney created Sakara Life, a plant-based nutrition program that delivers meals to your home.

The company started at a dinner party. Daniella and Whitney hosted friends and asked them to buy into the business—this raised $700 and got the business started.

In this episode we dive into Danielle’s inspiration behind Sakara, how they found early customers, how Danielle would grow a new biz in 2024, and their current marketing mix (hint: Danielle has a podcast and is a bestselling author!).

In this episode Gretta shares how her first biz gained that early success, her biggest (and most expensive) mistake and how you can avoid it, how to nail influencer marketing in 2024, what she'd suggest for founders today, and SO much more.

When Rooshy first created her ayurvedic-inspired skincare line, it didn't exactly do well. She'd made some big mistakes with the branding, and customers weren't buying it. So, she redesigned her brand (all DIY, by the way!), and released something with a very different vibe, and it worked!

Since the relaunch, Rooshy has raised millions of dollars from investors to build the business and is about to launch into Sephora.

At college Adriana started beading bracelets for her friends with uplifting messages.

She has collaborated with huge brands like Dunkin and Barbie, is worn by Taylor Swift, and is sold in 900+ stores including Target and 12 of their own Little Words project boutiques. I'm always fascinated by people who have the confidence to ask questions and show up for their business at such a young age, and build into something impactful.

Through the height of the pandemic Rachel Liverman did the impossible. She launched and scaled her brick and mortar business, a clinical 30 minute facial bar, Glowbar, across New York and beyond. Since launching in 2019 Rachel has raised $10M, launched 10 Glowbar locations, and now employs over 150 people, including a huge team of aestheticians.

She hosts Australia’s largest beauty podcast called YouBeauty, which also has a Facebook group with more than 75,000 members, was Beauty Director at Cosmopolitan Magazine Australia, then Head of Lifestyle at Huffington Post in Australia, and is now at Mamamia—a huge women’s publishing and podcasting brand in Australia. Recently she cofounded a beauty brand called Brillo Beauty just five months ago, and we spend a lot of time in this ep talking about how she spotted a gap in the market in a very crowded beauty industry, finding a cofounder, overcoming her fear to start her own business, and how Brillo got traction. It’s not often we get to hear from someone really on the ground floor of something that I think is going to be huge, and I think it’s really helpful for anyone who is in the early days of their own founder story.  Leigh and her cofounder invested $260,000 of their own money to start Brillo, and made $180,000 back in the first three months of business just through sales on the website. We have a full breakdown of how they spent that first investment too: the website cost $5k, formulation and all the testing you need to launch a beauty product was $30k, their first run of product including packaging was $150k, they spend another $50k on branding and content, $10k on legal and admin, and another $15k or so on other random startup costs.  Links Checkout Leigh's brand, Brillo Beauty: https://brillobeauty.com Join a Group Business Coaching Call: https://bestie.femalefounderworld.com/events  Become a Business Bestie subscriber: femalefounderworld.com/subscriber Get our quick case studies on TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@jasgarnsworthy Get the Female Founder World newsletter https://femalefounderworld.beehiiv.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Kaylin was the first employee at successful media startup The Skimm, and started puzzling to unplug from work. It gave her the idea for Jiggy Puzzles: frameable, art-focused puzzles highlighting the designs of female artists. Three years later, she’s sold over 250,000 puzzles and hit $1 million in yearly sales. Once Jiggy Puzzles launched, Kaylin DM’ed influencers and celebrities, and emailed editors to get traction. Then, Covid and lockdowns put a big spotlight on at-home hobbies and fuelled organic growth in 2020. Jiggy Puzzles first sold only through the brand's website, but in 2020 also landed its first retail partner: Anthropology, who found Jiggy Puzzles on Instagram. In 2022, Kaylin focused on wholesale partnerships, corporate gifts, and launching a new membership program and artist marketplace. This helped Jiggy Puzzles generate $1 million in sales.

]]> 1260 no Chunks Founder Tiffany Ju Bootstrapped to $1M in Annual Sales Without Paid Ads Tiffany Ju is our guest on Female Founder World! Tiffany’s bootstrapped hair accessory brand, Chunks, hit $40k in sales in her first year, $500k in year two, and in her third year, 2021, made over $1 million in sales—all without paid ads.  After being let go from her first 9-5 job in 2012, Tiffany began building her first business. She started dying tights in her kitchen and selling them on Etsy, which immediately went viral. She quickly discovered hand-dying tights wasn't a scalable business, and sales declined over time as the trend faded. Tiffany eventually closed her tights business and took a year off in 2018 to create art and explore her interests. She found a gap in the market for unique, high-quality hair clips, and Chunks was born. Things lined up: Tiffany already had experience manufacturing, the margins looked great, and there wasn’t much competition in the space at the time. Her tights business left Tiffany in debt, so she knew she had to bootstrap and be extremely resourceful this time around. Tiffany worked with manufacturers who accepted small orders, created her own website, invested in photography, and began testing the market. Chunks began primarily selling via wholesale since Tiffany was able to tap into her existing network from her first business. From there, the online orders began trickling in. In 2020 with stores closing and wholesale slowing down, Tiffany continued developing her customer base online and saw ecommerce taking off. Today, Chunks' business is split about 40% ecommerce and 60% wholesale. The business is doing over a $1 million in annual revenue and manages a team of 14. While Tiffany has prioritized hiring, she's refocused herself into a marketing director role, deciding that it's too early to bring on someone externally for that position.     Female Founder World is the place to meet your business besties online and IRL. Join our online community and get alerts about upcoming events in your city: www.femalefounderworld.norby.live Links Explore Chunks: http://chunks.shop/ Join Female Founder World's AMA to ask Tiffany your business questions on Thursday, 3 Nov 2022: https://momence.com/s/29672484  We're coming to Austin!

How did she do it? Listen to episode 98 of the Female Founder World podcast with Jasmine Garnsworthy to find out.

]]> 2121 no How This Bootstrapping Baddie Built Her Superfood Biz to $7.5 Million in Sales Karen Danudjaja, the bootstrapping baddie that built Blume to $7.5 million in sales and 2000 stockists (including Wholefoods!) is on Female Founder World today! The idea for a better-for-you latte line came to Karen in 2017 while working in corporate real estate, having multiple coffee meetings each day and then getting the caffeine jitters.  She started off working a full time nine-to-five and also running Blume at night. By the time Blume hit around $200,000 in sales, Karen went all in and quit her day job to grow the company.  “I felt like there was enough proof of concept, like returning customer feedback from retailers, that I was ready to go all in.” At the beginning cafes were her biggest customer, with healthy spots adding Blume’s superfood lattes to the menu. But when lockdowns hit, 85% of Blume’s business was food service—and it all shut down over night. Karen quickly brushed up on digital marketing and pivoted the company to ecommerce. “I took a digital marketing course March-April 2020 and then launched our first themed bundle for our ecommerce store in mid-April.”  After that, the business shifted to ecommerce-first during the height of the pandemic, before settling into a true omnichannel strategy that’s split 50% wholesale and 50% ecommerce and includes distribution across 2000 cafes, grocery, lifestyle stores, as well as the itsblume.com website. When Karen needed to find a cost-effective way to scale sales without hiring a team, she came up with a smart solution: build a separate, password-gated Shopify store with minimum order sizes for cafes and independent retailers to place bulk orders. “We duplicated our regular Shopify store, adjusted pricing and added a login. We have flows set up for them the same way we do for our DTC customers, targeting abandoned carts and returning customer, but set up specific for the needs of a retailer.” When bigger retailers like Wholefoods and Nordstrom wanted to stock Blume, Karen then built out her sales team. During all of this growth, Karen continued to bootstrap, which meant carefully managing cash flow was key. Her tip to other bootstrapped brands is to push back on retailers’ standard 90-day payment terms to make sure invoices are paid more quickly.  “We were really firm from the beginning with retailers that we couldn't do net 90 [to get paid for orders]. Because we were bootstrapped and we didn't have access [to cash], I just literally had to say no.” This year, after ending 2021 with $7.5 million in sales, Blume raised its first round of money from investors, closing $2.5 million in five weeks.  Feeling inspired? We have the exact pitch deck Karen used to raise $2.5 million in five weeks available for you to download in the Female Founder World community home.

What about $100,000 in one day? Kat Norton goes by Miss Excel on TikTok and Instagram, where she has a combined social media following upwards of a million people. She operates entirely as a one-woman show to leverage that following into a software training business that, according to one report, makes around $250,000 to $300,000 per month (and once pulled in $100,000 in 24 hours).  And she's only been at this since June 2020. Unlike many creators, Kat doesn't post spon-con on her channels, and instead uses social media entirely as a marketing machine for her course biz. Before Kat started her TikTok channel 18 months ago, she worked a regular 9-5 gig and created Excel training modules for her employer on the side. Feeling meh about her career, Kat invested time and money in getting over her fear and embarrassment of posting on TikTok, and focused on mastering manifestation and energetics through programs like Lacey Phillips' To Be Magnetic Course. She then posted her first video, and hasn't looked back.  If the word manifest just triggered an eye roll, and a headline about earning "$100k in 24 hours" makes you cringe, give Kat a sec to change your mind in episode 34 of the Female Founder World podcast.
