Female Startup Club

Hey everyone! Doone here. Your host and hype girl. Today on the show we’re learning from Fiona Chan, the founder behind a brand called Youthforia. While they’ve only launched just last year they’ve managed to build some crazy buzz in the beauty industry garnering more than 50m views on tiktok and growing! At Youthforia, they believe that makeup is an extension of your skincare. All of their products are formulated to be so good for your skin, you can sleep in it. Fiona actually tests all of their products by sleeping in it for an extended period of time. And so does her husband. Most conventional makeup brands formulate with fossil fuels and liquid plastics, which can be harmful or irritating for the skin. Instead, Youthforia use skin friendly plant based ingredients to provide luxurious textures and targeted treatments for your skin. Heaven, right? In this ep, we’re chatting about the beauty industry as a whole and Fiona’s advice for standing out in a saturated space, how she harnessed the power of tiktok to get traction and commits to creating 2 videos a day AND why you should get onto Supergreat if you’re in the beauty industry. Now before we get into the episode and incase you haven’t heard me talking about it yet - I have my very first book coming out at the end of February featuring the stories and learnings from 51 of these brilliant female founders from the first year of the show and I am just over the moon to be sharing this with you! If you’re someone who might be able to help me get the word out, or you know I need to talk to. I would love to meet you, please slide in my IG dms so we can chat.

On today’s episode I’m chatting with Julissa Prado, the founder of Rizos Curls. Founded in October 2017, Rizos Curls is a clean hair care brand creating products that embrace and celebrate the beauty of curls, coils & waves everywhere. In just under three years, Rizos Curls has amassed a global following of more than 300,000 followers on social media and ships to over 57 countries.We chat about the origins of Julissa’s business, creating her own potions and formulas for hair to give to women and girls since she was in the 9th grade, and how she took her $80,000 of savings since she was a little girl and went all in to develop hundreds of samples over 4 years before finally landing on her best selling products that we see today. We also talk through the importance of small business owners standing up and shouting loudly to get noticed - the key thing to remember here is that everything is negotiable - but you’ll get to that in the episode. There’s so much love and energy and emotion throughout this talk - lots of lols and even some tears. I could speak to Julissa for literally ever and ever and I came away feeling so grateful to have met her and to hear this incredible and deeply personal story.LINKS WE MENTION:Rizos Curls' InstagramJulissa's InstagramRizos Curls' YouTubeFemale Startup Club's InstagramDoone's TikTokDoone's InstagramIn partnership with Klaviyo, the best email marketing tool for ecommerce businesses.Female Startup Club's YouTubeFemale Startup Club’s Private Facebook GroupSay hello to Doone: hello@femalestartupclub.com Hosted on Acast.

Joining me on the show today is Lindsey Martin, Founder of Kiramoon. Kiramoon is challenging the way effective skincare can be delivered. Inspired by the fun and whimsy of Y2K pink aesthetics, they create holy-grail, science backed formulas and deliver them in a cute and user-friendly package. In this episode Lindsey steps me through how she started her brand from finding the manufacturer, through branding and finding a design agency to her influencer marketing strategy, to launch - and she spares no detail! This is such a cool insight into building an indie beauty brand and what you NEED to be doing in 2021 to win at e-commerce. Lindsey is such joy to speak with and this episode is packed with so much value that I guarantee you’re going to pick up some insights, especially if you’re a small business owner working on your brand at the moment.LINKS WE MENTION:Kiramoon's InstagramLindsey's InstagramKiramoon's TiktokFemale Startup Club's InstagramDoone's TikTokDoone's InstagramIn partnership with Klaviyo, the best email marketing tool for ecommerce businesses.Female Startup Club's YouTubeFemale Startup Club’s Private Facebook GroupSay hello to Doone: hello@femalestartupclub.com Hosted on Acast.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Klaviyo and today I’m joined by Connie Lo, Co-Founder of Three Ships. Three Ships is an all-natural, vegan skincare brand on a mission to make clean beauty accessible for all women. The products are 100% plant-derived, certified cruelty-free, and, best of all, forever under $40. Founded in 2017, Three Ships was founded by chemical engineer Laura and business grad Connie after the two wondered why clean, vegan skincare cost so much. With only $3300 in their bank accounts, these female founders started making their own formulations in Connie’s apartment kitchen with the goal to create effective and affordable natural skincare products. This is a ridiculously insightful episode and you’re going to come away with plenty of actionable tips for your business. We talk about pro tips for retail expansion and how to make a partnership successful, we talk about key moments of growth and how to be scrappy in the beginning and some of the key trade shows you might want to invest in.LINKS WE MENTION:Three ShipsConnie's InstagramThree Ships Beauty InstagramThree Ships TiktokFemale Startup Club's InstagramDoone's TikTokDoone's InstagramIn partnership with Klaviyo, the best email marketing tool for ecommerce businesses.Female Startup Club's YouTubeFemale Startup Club’s Private Facebook GroupSay hello to Doone: hello@femalestartupclub.com Hosted on Acast.
