#22. Have you ever wondered what it’s like to start the ultimate girl boss conference—with inspiring speakers including Jessica Alba and Lauren Conrad? Successfully exit two companies? Start a venture fund that invests solely in female and underrepresented founders?
Jaclyn Johnson launched and sold her first business, No Subject, before the age of 28. She was an investor in female-owned startup, Away, before launching her second multi million-dollar company, Create & Cultivate. In 2018, she published her book WorkParty, filled with advice for female entrepreneurs looking to ‘Create & Cultivate’ thriving companies and careers. She recently launched MAIE Wines, the first single-serve wine bottle, as well as her venture fund, New Money Ventures.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The job she found on Craig’s List, which changed her life forever
- Her experience breaking up with her business partner & advice for women going through the same difficulty
- The reason she thought she’d never be an entrepreneur & how being laid-off from her job represented a positive turning point, in retrospect
- The power of embodying a multi-hyphenate
- The keys to raising money for your business
- What she looks for when investing in female founders through her venture capital fund, New Money Ventures
- What you need to know about investing & how to know which type of capital is best for you
- Why your network is your net worth & how to maximize your connections
- Why you should “be in the business of over-delivering” and why ‘balance’ is actually a process of figuring out your personal bandwidth
- Her success as a best-selling author and podcast host
- Why pivoting in your 20s is actually the key to finding your mission
