How I Sold My Start-Up To Lululemon For $500 Million

Watching this made me not give up on the product invention I'm working on. I know I can make it work and I won't give up until I have it!

There should be a way to have a more interesting idea, go slower, fund yourself with a full-time job, and not need an investor since the investors are only interested in MIT and Harvard graduates and privileged crowds who already have connections.

Y yo llevo años tratando de sacar una cita de negocios con Sundar Pichai , y nadie me toma en cuenta, tengo 6 Startups que son modelos de negocios nuevos, uno de ellos es un Unicornio. Espero que algun dia ya me hagan un poco de caso y pueda vender mis negocios.

I would take that with a grain of salt….a lot of successful people build up their image by hyping stuff up that is simply not true. Its self-marketing. Weigh the probability that it did happen with the probability that it didnt, and not just blindly believe what people say just because they're 'cool'. It is very, very hard to believe that anyone would have told her to go and find a male co-founder and risk losing their entire career and reputation by saying that. But, it does make for a great story doesnt it? The fact that she was pregnant and a woman, helped her in this case and was not a hindrance. But she is of course, portraying it as a hindrance. In fact, the fact that she is a woman IS the whole point of the article about her, isnt it? doesnt that make for great publicity value? wouldnt you be looking to buy a company that comes with great publicity value built in? If she were a man, i am sure Lululemon would not have considered purchasing the startup, so in fact being a woman is an advantage. Companies are desperate to fit into the narrative that women are disadvantaged somehow and therefor privilege women in their decision making. Also, her husband comes from an investment fund family and had already sold a finance company. ….yeah, not exactly J.K. Rowling poverty and writing Harry Potter on the back of a napkin in a cafe (which itself is probably just hype). That was the first right move she made, wasnt it? marrying into a mans money and expertise? She thinks strategically, lets give her that!

Now Lululemon getting sued for the patent by Nike. She made out cold!

Her husband is Lowell Putnam who sold his business to PLAID for 200M in 2019. She started in late 2019. She really couldn't fail even if she wanted to.

Stop lying! It doesn't add up. You can't even rent a space for 15000 let alone the all the equipment and the staff.

And we are talking about NYC right? Not Ohio or Idaho?

That make up must be 4 layers deep.

👏👏👏👏

Between this acquisition and lululemon's focus on increasing its men's division, the future of the company should be interesting!

This is a better idea then Peleton.

She got away with Robbery!!!! Lululemon still struggling to sell mirrors!!! I mean wats stop people from just streaming workouts on their tv or computer

$1,400…plus $39 a month.
Right. Glad she worked hard and sold it for half a billion dollars. Everything is a monthly subscription. Not for me.
Peace

Allah daha çok versin

you graduate from Harvard with a Russian degree and can't communicate smoothly with an average parson on the street in America??!?

She is brilliant, yes. But also, privileged.

She's far more interesting than Evil Holmes

nice video i love watching your videos

I still think her invention wasn’t more useful than dancing infront of the t.v.
