Summary

Rachel Blumenthal had her first entrepreneurial venture when she was 10 years old, convincing her little brother to dress up and make balloon animals at birthday parties. From there, Blumenthal has gone on to start three companies, her most recent, Rockets of Awesome, which is a data driven children’s clothing brand that offers personalized subscription boxes to make kids shopping personal and fun. On this episode, Rachel discusses how she made the decision to leave her first job at Yves Saint Laurent to pursue entrepreneurship, the struggles she faced when trying to get investors to take her seriously and why she thinks of a brand like a baby.
