We have Kaylin Marcotte, founder of Jiggy Puzzles, on the Female Founder World podcast! Kaylin was the first employee at successful media startup The Skimm, and started puzzling to unplug from work. It gave her the idea for Jiggy Puzzles: frameable, art-focused puzzles highlighting the designs of female artists. Three years later, she’s sold over 250,000 puzzles and hit $1 million in yearly sales. Once Jiggy Puzzles launched, Kaylin DM’ed influencers and celebrities, and emailed editors to get traction. Then, Covid and lockdowns put a big spotlight on at-home hobbies and fuelled organic growth in 2020. Jiggy Puzzles first sold only through the brand's website, but in 2020 also landed its first retail partner: Anthropology, who found Jiggy Puzzles on Instagram. In 2022, Kaylin focused on wholesale partnerships, corporate gifts, and launching a new membership program and artist marketplace. This helped Jiggy Puzzles generate $1 million in sales.

Alicia Scott started Skinny Dip Cosmetics with a $150 investment and a dream of inclusive makeup for melanin-rich skin . Never heard of them? That because Alicia actually renamed her business baby to Range Beauty after hitting some legal trouble with a name and getting a tweet raving about her makeup that said, “Now this is range.” In that moment, Range Beauty was born. The name stuck, with sales jumping from $30,000 in 2018, to $45,000 in 2019, and then skyrocketing to $330,000 in 2020, allowing Alicia to start working on the business on full-time. Today, Range Beauty has fans like Beyonce, Issa Rae, Bobby Brown, and Gabrielle Union, and became the first Black woman-owned brand to get funding on Shark Tank, and is stocked in Target.  Here's how she did it!
