About Lauren Chew:
Lauren Chew dubs herself an 'accidental entrepreneur'. In 2018, she went completely vegan and had to rethink her whole diet - including her beloved sweet treats. In 2019, Lauren turned her side hustle into a full-fledged business when she crafted the first iteration of Love+Chew cookies in her tiny San Francisco apartment. The result: a delicious plant-based treat using minimal, wholesome ingredients. Today, Love+Chew cookies are on the shelves of over 2,000 stores, including Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, select Costco locations, and Amazon.

What's most remarkable about Love+Chew is that since day one, Lauren has bootstrapped her business with zero outside funding or VC help. Coming from a business development and tech background working at companies like Tesla and Stem, Lauren manages all aspects of the Love+Chew business — from product development and marketing to sales and operations. In 2023, she managed to scale her business from 1M to 3M and is on track to bring in 5-6M this year.

Boysober

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
