Disruptive trends have eroded the old success model for growing massive consumer product brands. Now, the COVID-19 crisis is only amplifying these trends. Smaller, more nimble startup brands are poised to capitalize on this movement. How can your consumer product thrive in the post-pandemic era? What will be the new models for success? Join us to hear from an all-female panel of founders and experts: Shea Gerhardt with Buderflys, Jaclyn Fu with Pepper, and Erica Feucht with Pit Liquor. In this discussion we will chat about trends, founder stories, and fundraising tactics for making your DTC company successful.
