Denise Woodard, founder and CEO of Partake Foods, fought hard to get her allergy-friendly food company off the ground. From maxing out multiple credit cards to even cashing out her 401K, she invested everything she had because she believed in her company’s mission. And after receiving 86 rejections from potential investors, she finally received a $1 million dollar investment from Marcy Venture Partners. In this Mental Health Toolkit episode of Imposters, hear Denise tell Alex about what it took to start her business, and how she handles the blessing and burden of being a barrier-breaking founder.
