Founders

Just sold my handbag to fund the startup costs for humankind candles  ❌👜 ✅🕯️

Any founders here that sold their own stuff to fund their startup?

🕯️They/them. Scaled cos from 0-$300k in arr, 7-35 employees, 0-100k users. Now I make beautiful, functional, and ethically made candles at humankind.place

I had to sell my chanel + prada 🥲 

But I bought those for myself as a reward for making it one year in finance (my first job out of college) & basically saw them as investments for something like this in the future. Still hurts a lil bit 🙈

Haha same!!! It was like a reward but also an asset in case I needed it for later. I did need it for later 😫
