Nancy built one of the most recognized beauty brands in the country—scaled it into major retailers like Sephora, raised over $20 million in funding, and sold it in a 9-figure deal.

Why we created
The Accelerator

Building a CPG brand is harder than most people realize.
There’s no roadmap. Few industry-specific resources. And far too many founders trying to piece it together alone.

From raising capital to managing inventory, landing retail, and growing a team—it’s overwhelming, especially when you’re just getting started.

And yet, the opportunity is massive:

Women now own over 14 million businesses in the U.S., generating $3.3 trillion in annual revenue. But most don’t have access to the support, strategy, or mentorship that leads to scale.

That’s why this program Feels Different—Because It Is…

I created the Makers Mindset Accelerator to be the thing I wish I had:
A straight-talking, strategy-packed guide to launching and growing a sustainable consumer brand—built by someone who’s actually done it.

This isn’t about chasing trends.
It’s about learning to think, lead, and scale like a founder who’s in it for the long game.

Because you don’t need more noise.
You need a roadmap—and support that gets you.

We get what you’re navigating—because we’ve lived it. The messy middle. The late-night doubt. The moments when you’re this close to giving up.

Makers Mindset was built for the founder who’s doing it all and still wondering: “Am I doing it right?”

Here, you’ll get clarity, not overwhelm. You’ll build momentum, not burnout.

And you’ll remember
You’re not crazy for believing in this dream.
