529: Rachel Blumenthal, Rockets of Awesome Founder

<p>Rachel Blumenthal is the founder of <a href="https://www.rocketsofawesome.com/">Rockets of Awesome</a>, which is this really smart company that I’ve actually engaged with. How it works is if you’re a parent or someone who wants to gift clothing to children, you can go on the website, sign up for a membership. They ask you a series of questions about your child; age, measurements, but also the taste of your kid. What kind of a kid do you have? Is he or she active? They gather all that information, all that intel and send you a personal box to your door with about 12 items for your child. It’s really functional, really affordable, and the clothing is very unique. I have to say, as someone who’s now been buying clothes for little people for the past two, three years. It gets very redundant. When you go on the playground, a lot of the kids are wearing the same things. It’s nice to find a resource, like Rockets of Awesome, that kind of does a lot of the work for you, brings the clothing to your house, catered to your family, and for very affordable price points.</p><p>Prior to starting this company, she was the CEO of Cricket’s Circle, a trusted resource and editorial engine for everything baby and toddler. Her insights from Cricket’s Circle led her to the birth of Rockets of Awesome.</p><p>Another fun fact about Rachel; she is the partner of Neil Blumenthal. Of course, if you watched <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/follow-the-leader/"><em>Follow the Leader</em></a> on CNBC, you remember Neil. He is the co-founder of <a href="https://www.warbyparker.com/">Warby Parker</a> along with Dave Gilboa. Of course, Warby Parker is, as they say in the tech world, in the entrepreneur world, a unicorn valued at over a billion dollars. They know how to run businesses and so does Rachel.</p><p>For more information visit <a href="http://www.somoneypodcast.com">www.somoneypodcast.com</a>.</p> <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
