Episode guiding points:
Learn about Sarah’s sunrise in Geelong, just outside Melbourne,
Australia being one of 4 kids and the influences of her dad, who
ran a carpet and furniture store and mum who worked in the
business and loved the commerce and numbers.
Questions our host, Vidit enjoyed exploring with Sarah include:
The role of growing up in an entrepreneurial household and how
that led to her start in a career in finance roles in the
magazine and advertising industry in Australia, and then London
and New York, the business model of that industry and key
differences between the UK and US markets, how and why she
decided to come back to Melbourne and start Bella Box with her
twin sister, how they outlived 11 competitors in the beauty
subscription category, early days of social media and low
customer acquisition cost and learnings from raising venture
capital investment.
We cover her journey to becoming an angel investor and the role
the VC catalyst program from Wade Institute played in providing
practical learnings, and the ins and outs of investing + Vidit
was fascinated by Sarah’s reflections on what she thinks
differentiates venture capital and private equity, her transition
from founder to an advisory and measuring times per month rather
than times per week. Listen in for the full context on this one!
It’s now time to explore your curiosity. Please enjoy!
