From the Ground Up

Amy Errett of Madison Reed: How to See Around Corners


Listen Later

Amy Errett might be a natural leader, and an expert team-builder–but she wasn’t always a founder. She spent her early career in banking and investment companies, before turning to venture capital.

She founded Madison Reed in 2013 out of San Francisco as a hair-color subscription brand.
