This is Laura Henshaw for Female Startup Club.
Hello and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - hi! I’m so happy you found us. Every week we’re learning from some of the world’s most brilliant minds in business. Like the co-founder of Kic - which you might have previously known as Keep It Cleaner, which was founded by Laura Henshaw and Steph Claire Smith (now Miller).
Today we’re chatting with Laura who is the CEO of the Kic App and we’re really diving into her mission to help others embrace self-acceptance and make sustainable changes towards a healthier, happier lifestyle. The KIC app is like your best friend in health and wellness, literally in your pocket. It helps you with easy yummy soul-nourishing food recipes and workout programs you can literally do from home.
I really loved this episode because Laura talks us through her journey from turning her experience in a toxic industry into a life-changing, high-impact company that helps women positively every single day. We talk through how she manages running a business as the CEO with her life outside of work - a battle we all seem to face, the real costs of developing an app, and her tips for getting started if you have an idea.
Let’s get into today’s episode, this is Laura for Female Startup Club.

This is Ju Rhyu for Female Startup Club.
Hi everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! Every week on the Female Startup Club podcast I interview some of the world’s most successful founders and women in business to understand their blueprint to success. And today you’re going to meet someone very very special. Ju Rhyu. She’s the founder of a company called Hero Cosmetics. Now we had Ju on the show back in 2020 - pandemic - when I was London based - feels like a lifetime apart from today - to share her journey in starting the business - and if you didn’t hear that episode I highly recommend you go back and listen to it because Ju took a very interesting path to launching Hero and it’s well worth a listen, with so many interesting gems and mini tactics we can all take note of.
But today we’re digging into something VERY different and exciting and crazy. It’s her path to acquisition. We often hear on the show from entrepreneurs who have raised millions of dollars and are in the middle of the journey but last year in 2022 Ju sold her business, for $630 million dollars. That is more than half a billion dollars. Wow. And it’s rare that we get to learn from someone who’s actually pulled this off at this scale. This conversation is so insightful and as always Ju shares it all. So buckle up - because we’re in for a real treat today.
Alrighty let’s do this! This is Ju for Female Startup Club.

This is Jash Mehta for Female Startup Club.
Hello and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl. Today on the show we’re learning from Jash Mehta, founder of Pop & Bottle. Pop & Bottle was inspired when Jash Mehta and her close friend Blair Hardy made the move from the London to California meeting for their daily ritual - the morning latte.
As coffee lovers who also prioritized health, the two friends asked themselves why nothing on the grocery store shelves met their standards: clean label, dairy-free, no refined sugar, and organic. Jash co-founded Pop & Bottle from a genuine desire to create quality coffee and tea beverages she wanted in her own life — and make them available to the millions of people who share in her passion for clean, healthful, high-integrity products.
We talk through her early blueprint which his still super relevant to today and how she expanded from 30 to 100 stores and then onto 10,000. If you’re in the food and Bev industry - grab your pen and paper and settle in for an episode packed with valuable insights.

This is Natalia Bojanic for Female Startup Club.
Hello and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - hi! I’m so happy you found us. Every week we’re learning from some of the world’s most brilliant minds in business. Like the co-founder of Form Nutrition, a B Corp-certified plant-based nutrition company, created from the simple belief that we become the greatest version of ourselves while making a positive impact in the lives of others. Launched in 2017 in the United Kingdom, Form Nutrition was born when Co-Founders Natalia Bojanic and Damian Soong started rethinking their habits and the effects diet has on health and the climate. Form’s 100% plant-based protein powders and responsibly-sourced nootropics are backed by science and were designed with optimal performance in mind. From performance and muscle growth to improving sleep and cognitive support, Form’s unique suite of plant-based products are impact-driven to support overall health and wellness and empower individuals to meet their unique goals.
We’re talking through so many different things today like the practice of building a meditation habit with a very practical tip to getting started if you’re someone like me who is so on again and off again with meditation. Something else I reallyy love about this episode is when we touch on when to quit and why that shouldn’t be seen as a failure. I do this constantly in my life and it’s such a powerful way to move towards your strengths and superpowers, and away from the things that drain you. And finally, we talk through some simple marketing strategies and mindsets that everyone could implement into their business tomorrow.

This is Jess Hatzis-Walker for Female Startup Club.
Hello and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl sliding into your ears with a new episode on the Female Startup Club podcast. If you’re new here, hi! Welcome! Every week we interview some of the world’s most exciting and successful founders and entrepreneurs - who happen to be women. Like Jess Hatzis-Walker. One of the co-founders behind the iconic skincare brand, Frank Bod. Frank Bod started a decade ago back in 2013 and through their strong original branding and an innovative approach to marketing grew it from $0-$100m+ business.
In this episode, we chat through what shifted the needle in scaling this brand, how early-stage founders should think about brand and Marketing in today’s world, and what Jess would do if she was starting it all again tomorrow.
I love the part of this episode where we dive into just how easy it is to get stuck in old habits, even when that's the total opposite of what you should be focusing on. It’s easy over time to get set in your ways and rinse and repeat things. But as founders, we have got to remember: the only thing scarier than a new idea is an old one. It's this idea that guides a lot of Frank Body's decision-making. When it comes down to it, a lot of money makes people lazy and stupid. Your best campaigns will be done on a shoestring budget. Have fun with it!

This is Aasiyah Abdulsalam for Female Startup Club.
I’m really excited to be sharing this episode today, It’s with Aasiyah Abdulsalam and she’s the founder of a company called The Renatural and the inventor of her first patented product - The Wig Fix. It’s a product that’s used by anyone who wears wigs and it’s been a total game changer for so many women (and men!) around the world. 77,000 to be precise.
Aasiyah talks through her scrappy approach to marketing and finding her first thousand customers, the process to patenting a new product and her experience with raising capital.
Diving into the world of business and entrepreneurship has taught this first-time founder one very important lesson: you have to be shameless in order to succeed. Shamelessly ask, shamelessly promote, and shamelessly challenge the status quo."There's no such thing as a dumb question. You have to be shameless in order to grow." If you've ever been made to feel like you're asking a stupid question, you're probably asking the wrong person. The right partners, business or not, will make space for the seemingly silly questions to be answered with consideration and patience. Because there is no such thing as a silly question. Every question is valid, girl.

This is Monica Grohne for Female Startup Club.
Today on the podcast, we’re learning from Monica Grohne. Monica is the Founder & CEO of Marea - a menstrual wellness company supporting you with the foundational nutrition needed for healthier, happier cycles. Monica spent 17 years struggling with PMDD before discovering the life changing benefits that nutrition could have on helping her live without the cyclical roller coaster. And I LOVE this episode. Monica has built the business to $50k monthly revenue without spending a cent on paid ads and this is a really important conversation around building your business and proving the concept before you start to invest in paid growth. She also shares some great marketing tactics she’s been using recently!
And while I’ve got you here I’ve also updated the grant doc with a bunch of new grants all over the world that are ready to be applied for this month and you can download it by going to femalestartupclub.com/grants.

Hello everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here - your host and hype girl. It’s been such joy seeing so many of you joining us in the Facebook group and posting your questions!
Joining us today on the show is Madi Stefanis - the founder of 35mm co. And I love this episode so much! Made started her business after spotting a gap in the market for vintage cameras, she started flipping them online and after selling hundreds of thousands of dollars worth - but after experiencing so much demand and never being able to keep up with the pace, realised she had an opportunity to create her own product that she could scale. It’s a great lesson in finding market fit before going all in.
And while I’ve got you here - a big huge full of love thank you to everyone sharing their Spotify Wrapped with us. I can’t even begin to tell you how grateful I am to see thousands of people with Female Startup Club in the their top 5 or their number 1 listened to podcast for this year. It’s truly mind-blowing and I am so grateful - thank you so much.
