Cindy Eckert (formerly Whitehead)
(@cindypinkceo) is an entrepreneur with 1.5 billion dollars in
exits who currently serves as the founder and CEO of The Pink
Ceiling, an investment firm and consulting enterprise nicknamed
the Pinkubator with a mission to invest in, launch, and build
other women-led or focused businesses. She believes that access
to good advice alone is not enough to change the ratio of men to
women in business, and that is why she personally invested more
than 15 million dollars in 2017 alone to support the development
of nine portfolio companies.
I should mention right off the bat that if you're a guy, don't
let this bio turn you off in any way — in the sense that I wanted
to have Cindy on the show because she is a good CEO and
entrepreneur, very much irrespective of gender. The negotiating
techniques, the approaches to deal-making, everything that we
talk about applies to entrepreneurs, period, full stop.
Earlier in her career, Cindy was the founder of Sprout
Pharmaceuticals, home of Addyi, the first and only FDA-approved
treatment for low sexual desire disorder in women, which was sold
for one billion dollars and then reacquired in a crazy story with
incredible terms that we will discuss in this conversation.
Please enjoy this wide-ranging conversation with Cindy Eckert!
