Hello my beautiful woman inc. listeners. How is everyone doing? I don’t know if it’s because we’ve just entered the forth quarter of the year, but I’ve been feeling so motivated to just go out and create all of the things I want to do. You know, just that “what do I have to lose energy?” It’s a very freeing feeling. Before I introduce my guest this week, I just wanted to say that I watch the listenership for this podcast grow every single day and it’s not lost on me that those numbers are real people out there lives and I really want to get to know you guys. I really want to do something live. Are we all burnt out from zoom? I just want to see you all and chat because this community is really powerful. And there are VC investors who listen to woman inc, there are entrepreneurs, and so many amazing powerful women on the other end of this recording, AND I just want to be part of some entrepreneurial love stories, like “we were both part of the woman inc community, I invested in her business and we made millions. I just want it to all start at woman inc. SO if you’re listening and we haven’t met, please message me. Please say hi. And tell me if you’d be into some type of live woman inc event. Ok let’s get into introducing my incredible guest this week. Andrea Lisbona is the founder and CEO of Touchland, the revolutionary brand of hand sanitizers that combine sleek, functional packaging with non-sticky, moisturizing, luxurious-feeling formulas that come in eight amazing scents. Setting out to disrupt the commoditized hand sanitizer industry, Andrea ran a Kickstarter campaign in 2018, which resulted in the brand reaching 450% of its initial fundraising goal and more than 1,500 pre-orders for the product in just one month. In Touchland's first year of business, the brand enjoyed success largely driven by their community of social media followers (until recently, this community was grown and fostered directly by Andrea herself!). In that year, Touchland surpassed over $2M in sales and landed retail distribution with ULTA, Urban Outfitters, Revolve, Liberty London, Sephora Mexico & many more. Touchland was instantly embraced by celebrities and influencers alike; the brand now counts Kris Jenner, Kesha, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Tyra Banks, and many more!  Now, Touchland has been expanding into new retail partnerships with Target, Bloomingdales, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and many more. Additionally, the brand's KUB Hand Sanitizer Dispenser--which is the first internet-connected solution of its kind--has exploded to represent 50% of their business, with strategic partners like Equinox, Louis Vuitton, Sweetgreen, Marriott and dozens more. All the while, Touchland has been donating their hand sanitizers to hospitals and teachers to assist those working on the frontlines during the pandemic. Andrea is originally from Barcelona and relocated to the US in 2018 in order to manage the growth of Touchland from the US. I can’t wait for your guys to hear just her fire, you can feel her passion and she is a quintessential entrepreneur and I love to bring women like this onto the show because that energy is contagious. Alright, let’s get over to my conversation with Andrea.
