6 quick questions with Meha Agrawal, Founder of Silk + Sonder (Part 2)
from Female Startup Club
Today we’re chatting to Meha Agrawal, the founder of Silk + Sonder! Silk + Sonder is a guided self care and mental wellness platform and community, generating millions of dollars in recurring revenue and serving tens of thousands of women across the US.I thought this episode was so cool because Meha is a pro at blending DTC with tech and community. We talk through her start and how she got her first customers, what makes her community sticky and the lessons she learned from raising millions of dollars in capital; and it’s not what you might think!Meha ended up raising $4M across a pre-seed and a seed back in 2020, and I was so excited to dig into her story. The first thing to remember is that getting your first cheque doesn’t make the other cheques magically appear. Every investor is different, every investor cared about a different part of your business. You have to be able to speak to the power of community if that’s what they’re interested in, CPG if that’s what they’re interested in. Essentially, treat investors how you would treat your customers. And a real golden nugget is that going out to raise when you don’t necessarily need the funding is the best time to raise. It will allow you to run that process authentically which is so important.

I’m excited to tell you more in the coming weeks!LINKS WE MENTION:Silk and Sonder InstagramMeha InstagramSilk and Sonder TikTokThe Art of Thinking Clearly Book Visit Upscribe.io/femalestartupclub to learn more and receive your first month FREETry LinkedIn Jobs for free today by going to LinkedIn.com/FSCSIGN UP FOR 1800-HYPEGIRL HOTLINE HERE: femalestartupclub.norby.liveFemale Startup Club's Instagram Doone's Instagram Doone's TikTok To redeem 1 month free of Norby's Basic Plan use code "FSC" here: https://join.nor.by/ In partnership with Klaviyo, the best email marketing tool for eCommerce businesses Female Startup Club's YouTubeFemale Startup Club’s Private Facebook Group Say hello to Doone: [email protected] Female Startup Club + Clearco: Clear.co/partner/female-star📱 Join 160K smart chicks in the Female Startup Club universe:→ Use code 'FSC' for 30% off your first 3 months at omnisend.com/fsc→ Female Startup Club's Instagram: www.instagram.com/femalestartupclub→ Doone Roisin's Instagram: www.instagram.com/dooneroisin→ Get opportunities delivered to your inbox 3x weekly here: https://female-startup-club.beehiiv.com/ Hosted on Acast.
