Christina started this business in 2010 and is the only sole female founder &amp; CEO of a large scale e-commerce floral company, who bootstrapped the business into $60+ million in annual revenue.</p><p>In this episode we’re covering how Christina went in pursuit of disrupting an industry she had experienced a problem in, how she bootstrapped her brand from a $49k investment into a business that will do more than 60 million in revenue this year, the strategies that she used to acquire customers without a marketing budget and why this year has been her biggest year of growth. </p><p>I so enjoyed this episode and came away feeling so invigorated in my own pursuit to build Female Startup Club - and I hope you get that same energy too.
