How I Raised Millions to Create Regenerative Systems Change with Carolyn Butler - 30 MIN CHAI
I'm excited to welcome you for an intimate conversation with Carolyn Butler from Manymoons. She has created a 100% circular retailer - that means that all fabrics are biodegradable and compostable, and all clothing can be swapped in and out by consumers. She's pretty much building the beginnings of a truly regenerative fashion industry.
In this episode, Carolyn talks about:
- How she raised first from moms - who understood her business model in 15 seconds as compared to VCs
- How she determined and changed her valuation as she raised money over a few years
- How she got over the ego-hump of asking people for money, to finding joy in asking for resources to grow her company
For anyone trying to create systems change in your industry, this is a case study of how your unit economics could actually exceed a traditional industry model, how to first approach those who already "get it," and of course how it's totally possible for you to raise millions to change the world with your unique feminine vision.
