Succeeding in Entrepreneurship with Beauty and Wellness Founder Nicki Carrea

In this week’s episode, Grace and Michelle interview Nicki Carrea, the founder and CEO of Genuine Glow. She talks about her experience working at a Fortune 500 company and how she applied that experience to building her own company and growing it to a $2M business in less than four years. She also shares two pieces of advice she received from her mentors that she thinks about frequently as well as a few tips for those looking to start their own companies. You can connect with Nicki on LinkedIn and/or check out Genuine Glow’s website here. 

Here are a couple of tidbits of information that we referenced during this episode in case you’d like to check them out:

• Great news! Two female-founded startups (Glossier and Rent The Runway) recently entered the unicorn status, being valued at $1.2 billion and $1 billion, respectively, as reported by TechCrunch. 
• Not so good news… According to All Raise, only 9% of US VCs are women (this includes partners, GPs and MDs with check-writing abilities at firms with fund size > $25M). 
• But the good news is… Your Four of a Kind hosts (especially Grace) and many others out there are very passionate about improving that!
