MMS #57 | From $6k to success: The story behind startup Bear & Moo
In this inspiring episode of Money Made Simple, Jennie sits down with Hannah Porter - founder of baby and kids' brand Bear & Moo - to talk about building a successful startup from scratch, while juggling family life and financial realities. From starting with just $6,000 to growing into a thriving online and retail store, Hannah shares what it’s really like to take a calculated risk and create something that works for your lifestyle, and helps build financial success.
This episode covers:
- How Hannah went from corporate jobs to launching Bear & Moo with only a small amount of savings
- The balance between family life, risk, and financial stability when starting a business
- The growth journey through COVID, supply chain issues, and economic slowdowns - it hasn't been easy!
- Why knowing your numbers and cashflow is vital for small business survival
- Tips on household budgeting, running multiple bank accounts, and teaching kids about money
Resources mentioned in this episode:
- Bear & Moo website – https://bearandmoo.co.nz/
Tenancy Services (for household budgeting references): https://www.tenancy.govt.nz/
By the end of this episode, you’ll feel inspired (and maybe a little more organised!) to take control of your own finances - whether that’s starting a side hustle, improving your family’s budget system, or simply getting more confident about your money decisions. So go forth and conquer!
