045: How to Crowdfund a Sunscreen Brand with Sarah Muir of Palm & Pine Skincare

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sarah Muir knows from experience that successful entrepreneurs need stamina. After months of crowdfunding, she had to fire her manufacturer right before the product launch. Sarah bounced back and found a better manufacturer that allowed her to launch Palm & Pine Skincare with 2 original formulations and control all intellectual property. Palm & Pine sells vegan, cruelty-free, and plastic-free natural sunscreen.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Listen to Mollie and Sarah chat about: </span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Why listening to</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The Foundr Podcast</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">motivated Sarah to become an entrepreneur</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How Sarah’s passion for creating a sustainable brand guided all her business decisions</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The importance of being a “master Googler” </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Start and Scale</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">helped guide their crowdfunding campaign to raise $35,000 AUD. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The decision to have a non-gender bias and monochrome brand</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How Palm & Pine sold out of their products within 2 months of launch</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Advice on email marketing, crowdsourcing, and much more…</span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><strong>Who do you want to see next on the podcast?</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Comment and let us know!
