Billion Dollar Moves™ with Sarah Chen-Spellings | Global Venture Capital
Choosing Alignment Over Highest Price
Sarah asks about the acquisition decision; Beatrice recounts turning down a higher offer and choosing Compass for alignment and leadership continuity.
From living in motels and battling recurring infections to leading one of the fastest-growing feminine care brands in America, Beatrice Dixon’s story is as unlikely as it is inspiring. In this episode, Bea reveals how a dream sparked the formula for The Honey Pot, how she scaled from kitchen batches to Target’s Super Bowl ads, and why she walked away from a higher $450M offer to exit on her own terms.
Whether you’re a founder, investor, or leader, this is a masterclass in resilience, conviction, and building generational wealth without selling your soul.
