| Tell us about your company: |
| Buzzie is on a mission to redefine modern bug care, starting with our signature better-for-you, better-for-the-planet repellent solutions that smell great, feels great, and – wait for it – actually work! |
| What inspired you to start your business? |
| I’ve always had a passion for startups and CPG – having been raised by two incredible entrepreneurs, working at a startup after college, supporting startup clients as a lawyer-in-training, and continuing to partner with incredible startup founders as an active early-stage investor. I always knew I wanted to try my hand at brand building, but I was never passionate enough about any one project or idea to take that first step, Buzzie! |
| What are your proudest achievements so far? |
| There’s truly nothing better than seeing your product on shelf for the first time. After 2.5+ years of R&D and rigorous clinical testing (trying over 22 variations of our base formula) – pouring heart and soul into every decision, from brand design to packaging – I’ve been most proud to see Buzzie finally out in the world, both on retail shelves & also making our QVC debut earlier this year. |
| What advice do you have for aspiring entrepreneurs: |
| Keep going! Being a founder means solving problems everyday – some big, some small, and most completely unexpected – but if you keep showing up and keep moving the ball forward (even an inch!), that momentum adds up. Progress over perfection, and perseverance is key in my experience. |
