I laughed with aleen, co-founder of betches - the most influential female first media platform in the world! Betches started as a college blog in 2011. Three women, each putting in $1,500. No outside capital. No playbook. Just a deep understanding of what women actually care about. 📱 250M+ reach 📺 4B+ video views 🤯 15x higher engagement than competitors In 2023, ladbible acquired a majority stake in Betches, valuing the company at up to $54M - a rare, bootstrapped media success story. They didn’t wait for permission. They didn’t ask investors for approval. They just started. And never stopped. If you’re waiting for a sign to start, this is it. If you’re waiting for perfect, you’ll be waiting forever. 🇬🇧 To my UK crew - go follow betchesuk immediately. You’re gonna be obsessed. 👉 I walk & connect with founders.
