Sarah Moret Grew Curie 1000% In One Year...

Andrew Faris
About this episode

It's arguably the wildest ride I've ever been on in ecommerce: since beginning to work with Sarah Moret and Curie in January of this year (2023), we've seen the brand go from $2M in 2022 to a projected $20M by year's end–and it's very profitable.

Oh also: part of that included selling into every Walmart in the US.

Just nuts.

Sarah is a killer operator and entrepreneur. With a background in both Accounting & VC, she brings a serious financial skillset to the table that has made her quick to turn her rapid growth into disciplined, smart management.

Tune in to this episode if you want to hear about how the peaks and valleys of entrepreneurship and learn how we've seen such an explosion this year.
