Joining me on the show today are two of the co-founders behind the luxury pet accessories brand Wild One. Wild One is a one stop shop for everything you need for your cute pooch and they’ve got the kind of job we all dream about - well, I dream about - puppies in the office, puppy photoshoots and hanging out at dog parks seeing what owners are into and talking about. These two women and their third co-founder Bill brought their unique skill sets together to build a brand and carved out a space for pets that didn’t exist in the market before. They develop products based on what they know their customer truly wants, in cute colours and works to build a community of pet lovers by hosting huge events that bring people together. LINKS WE MENTION:Wild OneWild One’s InstagramMinali’s InstagramVeronica’s InstagramVery Great Incubator Female Startup Club In partnership with Klaviyo, the best email marketing tool for ecommerce businesses.  Hosted on Acast.

Joining me on the show today is Catharine Dockery, the founder behind Vice Ventures. A fund that invests in early stage startups from non-traditional verticals including cannabis, alcohol, CBD, e-sports, addiction recovery and sextech. Catharine was going through a series of interviews for new jobs in the world of VC and was pitching in an alcohol brand only to be met with the same feedback on repeat; every fund has a vice clause. And basically that meant that whether or not the opportunity was major, they couldn’t invest. And that’s how Vice Ventures was born. LINKS WE MENTION:Vice Ventures Vice Ventures Instagram Female Startup Club In partnership with Klaviyo, the best email marketing tool for ecommerce businesses.

Their towels are made in Portugal through a third generation family owned manufacturer and they’ve worked to create the soft, plush, fluffy and absorbent towels you really want to live in your bathroom.
