September 8, 2021 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Lindsay Pinchuk on She's Got Moxie with Joy Chudacoff

Before she was even pregnant with her first child, Lindsay Pinchuk saw an opportunity in the parenting industry. She decided to go for it and Bump Club And Beyond, a parenting community was born. With just $500, she used basic, grass-roots efforts to fuel her start-up growth. Along the way, she made some strategic partnerships that led to rocket-ship visibility and success. Both Target and Nordstrom came calling.

Lindsay actually sold her company a few years ago and in this episode, we talk about why it was always her goal to sell the business. We also discuss the future that she’s really looking forward to and why it benefited her to organize events outside of the baby space.
