Kelly Anne Parker is a self-funded founder who built Send Ribbon, a corporate gifting company, from the ground up—all the way to acquisition by UrbanStems in 2020. Now, through her advisory firm Launch Grow Exit, Kelly helps fellow founders navigate the full lifecycle of being a founder, from getting started to scaling and preparing for a successful exit. She's on a mission to demystify the founder journey and make exits feel possible especially for female-founded, bootstrapped brands.

Inside the Episode:
  • The path from building a gifting brand to selling it—without outside funding

  • Value of corporate gifting for emerging CPG brands

  • What founders need to consider early if they want to build toward a future exit

  • How to think differently about growth and define success on your own terms
