She Was Rejected Hundreds of Times–Now She's Raised $3.5 Million

Kristine Locker is on the Female Founder World podcast with Jasmine Garnsworthy!

Kristine is the founder of Locker, the app and browser extension that have revolutionized online shopping. As a non-technical founder, Kristine has built a team, raised $3.5M, and gained hundreds of thousands of users for Locker. 

Kristine bootstrapped to her first 10,000 users, and after hearing over 50 “no’s” raised her first $1M two years later. After continuing to build and getting tons of heartbreaking rejection, Kristine’s next funders came from the most surprising places. 

In this episode Kristine talks about how she was able to handle a ton of rejection to raise money, the mindset of building a tech company as a non tech-founder, and how she’s built a kick-ass team.
