In 1999, Tiffany Taylor accidentally stood up Leon Chen for a date. As an apology, she baked and delivered a batch of warm cookies, and the concept of warm cookie delivery was born.</p><p>Tiff and Leon, just 19-year-old sophomores at The University of Texas, opened Tiff’s Treats with $20, a cell phone and a dream. Since then, the business has raised more than 500m dollars, grown to 68 stores, with close to 2000 employees, baking more than 200 million cookies since the company started.</p><p>LINK WE MENTION:</p><p><br></p><p>Tiff's Treat <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/tiffstreats\">Instagram</a></p><p><br></p><p>Tiff's Treat <a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@tiffstreats\">TikTok</a></p><p><br></p><p>Tiff's Treat <a href=\"https://twitter.com/tiffstreats\">Twitter</a></p><p><br></p><p>Promo Code: Visit <a href=\"https://page.cookiedelivery.com/fsc/%20\">https://page.cookiedelivery.com/fsc/ </a>to get 20% off the book and/or cookies at their site!</p><p>If you have something you want me to cover, reach out on<a href=\"https://twitter.com/dooneroisin\"> Twitter</a> or <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/dooneroisin/\">Instagram</a>.</p><p><br></p><p>Female Startup Club's <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIeqjd6tglzJ_jP2ZQkWYKQ\">YouTube</a></p><p><br></p><p>Female Startup Club's <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/femalestartupclub/\">Instagram</a></p><p><br></p><p>Doone's <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/dooneroisin/\">Instagram</a></p><p><br></p><p>In partnership with <a href=\"https://www.klaviyo.com/fsc\">Klaviyo</a>, the best email marketing tool for ecommerce businesses.</p><p><br></p><p>Female Startup Club's <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIeqjd6tglzJ_jP2ZQkWYKQ\">YouTube</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/femalestartupclub\">Female Startup Club’s</a> Private Facebook Group</p><p><br></p><p>Say hello to Doone: <a href=\"mailto:hello@femalestartupclub.com\">hello@femalestartupclub.com</a></p>","author_name":"Female Startup Club"}
