Fave Hits: 6 Quick Questions with Cherie Hoeger, Founder of Saalt (Part 2)
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)
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!LINKS WE MENTION: The Office Of Angela Scott's WebsiteThe Office of Angela Scott's InstagramThe Office of Angela Scott's FacebookVisit Upscribe.io/femalestartupclub to learn more and receive your first month FREETry LinkedIn Jobs for free today by going to LinkedIn.com/FSCSIGN UP FOR 1800-HYPEGIRL HOTLINE HERE: femalestartupclub.norby.liveFemale Startup Club's Instagram Doone's Instagram Doone's TikTok To redeem 1 month free of Norby's Basic Plan use code "FSC" here: https://join.nor.by/ In partnership with Klaviyo, the best email marketing tool for eCommerce businesses Female Startup Club's YouTubeFemale Startup Club’s Private Facebook Group Say hello to Doone: hello@femalestartupclub.com Female Startup Club + Clearco: Clear.co/partner/female-star📱 Join 160K smart chicks in the Female Startup Club universe→ Apply to join our inner circle: https://apply.femalestartupclub.com/apply→ Female Startup Club's Instagram: www.instagram.com/femalestartupclub→ Doone Roisin's Instagram: www.instagram.com/dooneroisin→ Get opportunities delivered to your inbox here: https://female-startup-club.beehiiv.com/ Hosted on Acast.

6 quick questions with Lily Dempster, Founder of One Small Step (part 2)
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.
