Very few women in tech. raise hundreds of millions of dollars, and then you eventually had an IPO, you took the company public. That is also very rare.
Isn't that sad? I know a handful of women who've taken companies public. And the one thing they all have in common is that when you shut the door and you start to talk about what was it like raising enough capital and pushing a company through all those phases of growth, they have a lot of horror stories.
So will you tell us some of your behind closed doors horror stories about fundraising and building your company? What are things that you haven't talked about publicly?
Okay.
I don't know why I thought I did.
So that's what we can expect.
Did you choose zip codes with like ultra high net worth people?
Oh, come on, Julie.
Warehouses. Yes. Was it Celine Dion?
The answer's always yes. Always yes. It has to be yes.
Okay.
Oh, I get that. Nicole always tells me I'm not the best driver, too.
No, you're constantly managing the supply and the demand, the sellers and the buyers. It's such a complicated business.
It's so funny to hear you talking about these kind of scrappy early days, because after that phase, after you had a warehouse with a crusty carpet and the French guy stepping into the toilet to photograph. Yeah. So after all of that, the business grew. Like you say, you raised hundreds of millions of dollars. You took the company public. What did it feel like to ring the bell?
Really?
Really? So on that particular stock exchange, was that the one that had 23 women? No, that was overall. It was anybody taking a company public. Wow.
It does seem like more women's companies are getting to IPO, even though, like you said.
Yep, and then also my friends over at Figs had a great IPO. Figs is a great product. Yeah, that's wonderful. So we're seeing it more and more. A little bit. Yeah. Yeah, a little bit, little cracks, little cracks. Yeah, and so you took the company public. It is the greatest victory for a founder to do that. It's fabulous. From zero to IP.
Yeah, that's not the pathway.
Everything was totally normal after 2019, right? COVID hit, yes. And so you were still running the company. Now it's a public company, which means that you have to report to the whole world how you're performing, right? It's different than when you're a private company. Nobody knows your business.
