SUMMER ‘23 - Bootstrapping a Puzzle Brand to 250,000 Units Sold, with Jiggy Founder Kaylin Marcotte (Part 1)

This is Kaylin Marcotte for Female Startup Club. Welcome back to the show - if you’re new here! Hi! I’m Doone, your host and hype girl in business. Every week we learn from 7, 8 and 9 figure female founders to understand their blueprint in business when it comes to money, marketing and mistakes. Women like Kaylin Marcotte the founder of Jiggy Puzzles. And if you’ve been around FSC since the very early days circa beginning of 2020 you might remember our first interview together. It’s number 10 if you want to go back and listen to Kaylin’s story at the very beginning of her journey only a few months into building Jiggy (and also the very beginning of my journey with building Female Startup Club!) Today we’re getting up to speed on what’s happened in her world since then and we deep dive into the power of her business model when it comes to collaborations with female artists, strategic partnerships with corporate clients and how she managed to get on Oprah’s list of favourite things. And while I’ve got you here; if you’re a founder yourself or you’re just getting started with putting together your ideas to launch a business slash side hustle; something I’ve come across that’s a problem for every founder at every stage is capital. Every entrepreneur or future founder I speak to - myself included - struggles with the money piece. We all need more money. So we’ve put together a comprehensive list of every grants and accelerator thats live right now - and we’re keeping it updated weekly. There’s some really good ones that are closing in a weeks time you should jump onto. To access the doc for free go to femalestartupclub.com/grants to get your copy.
