Start Fail Repeat | Episode 1 | Emily Austen | The reality of being a young female founder, learning from mistakes, goal-setting
Welcome to the first episode of Start Fail Repeat! It's great to have you here :)
Really excited for you to listen to this interview with Emily. She speaks openly (and hilariously) about the reality of founding and running a business, and offers loads of practical tips. Enjoy!
Emily M Austen is the founder and CEO of EMERGE, an award winning PR Agency, with offices in London and LA, pivotal to the launch and scale for a number of global brands, including Huel, Spanx, 1Rebel, rewardStyle, Nickelodeon, Rayban and ViaVan. The 20 strong female team, turning over more than £3million per year, was started by Emily at 22. After pivoting to consider how to help the early stages of start-ups lives, Emily launched EMERCH, a merchandising arm of the business to deliver tangible product for gorilla marketing, and brand equity. The division is set to turnover over a million pounds in its first year. In order to provide innovative services for start ups, Emily started E-Cap, a seed round funding brokerage, and will launch her own VC fund in 2020, with a starting capital of £5million. Over her career, she has raised over £100million for start ups across the wellness, fitness, tech and feminine care sectors. Emily is also the Strategic PR Advisor to UN Women UK, tackling challenging conversations such as domestic violence and gender equality, and working with the General Assembly to affect change.
