Ep 52: Erika Geraerts – Startups, People and Growth

“It’s no longer that you’re able to sell your product to 10 people in the room. It’s that there are 50 people trying to sell to those 10 people” – Erika Geraerts

Erika comes with years of experience in building multiple successful businesses. She’s the co-founder of renowned brands like frank body and Willow & Blake. In this episode, we explore Erika’s entrepreneurial journey from her Willow & Blake and frank body days, to her latest startup, Fluff – a beauty brand focused on the next generation.

For Erika, it’s all about that connection with people, trying to understand why someone would buy something from a brand. Listen to our latest on Growth Masters as we talk about the nitty-gritty of startup culture and how the modern landscape has changed for businesses amidst a highly competitive environment.
