This is Briana Olsen for Female Startup Club 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 Olsen, 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 dermablading. The short story is that it totally took off and last year alone she was already doing 12million 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. 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.
