Welcome to Startup Success.
In this episode, I sit down with Jacqueline Johnson, founder of Create and Cultivate and co-founder of Cherub, to talk about what it really looks like to build, exit, and then in this situation, rebuild a company.
From selling, create, and cultivate for $22 million to PE to buying it back just a few years.
Later, Jacqueline shares the lessons founders need to know about private equity, ownership, and control.
We then dive into how they're rethinking early stage angel fundraising with Cherub, what's changing in today's startup landscape, and what it takes to really stand out with angel investors in an AI-driven world.
Welcome.
Jacqueline.
So Jacqueline, we have so much to cover, but I want to start with create and cultivate and kind of your background and what led to the founding.
Better.
Awesome.
And what caught our attention that's so unique is you ended up selling it, right?
To PE.
Yeah.
Yeah.
that hard to come to that conclusion?
Cause I know a lot of for a lot of founders listening, like it's your baby, right?
You've been there through the whole rise and to just kind of take that step is a big deal.
Wow, congrats.
Thank you.
Got it.
