JANE LU – SHOWPO

Jane Lu calls herself the lazy CEO, but after listening to this episode, you’ll come to realise that she’s anything but lazy. Jane is the founder of Showpo – a fashion ecommerce empire that she’s bootstrapped from her parents’ garage to over 2 million social media followers and $30 million in revenue. In this episode of lady-brains we spoke with the Jane about how she gained the courage to quit her job (without telling her parents) and work on the biz full-time, how a clever Facebook campaign saw her followers and revenue skyrocket overnight, and the importance of leveraging your network early on to get your idea off the ground.
