This Founder Was Rejected By VC Funds— and She's Thankful
Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
When Daniella Pierson, at 23, pitched her newsletter The Newsette for VC funding she was "laughed out of the room." Cut to the present: she still owns nearly 100% of the company— which, by the way, is currently valued at over $200 million. Daniella joins Nicole to talk about how she scaled her company, her gutsy pitch to Diane von Fürstenberg and lessons from sales "survival mode." Net-net, remember: the next time you're disappointed with an outcome at work, hang in there: that disappointment might just turn into nine figures.
