From Self-Made to Shelf Space: How to Scale a Business With Monique Rodriguez, Founder and CEO of Mielle Organics WorkParty
-
- Business
Welcome to a special episode of WorkParty Live from our Self-Care Summit with Monique Rodriguez, the founder and CEO of Mielle Organics. This founder knows a thing or two about scaling a business! In 2014, she started mixing up homemade haircare solutions in her kitchen. Now her brand has grown into a multi-million-dollar company with products sold in over 100,000 major retailers, including Target, Walgreens, and CVS. And, earlier this year, Monique secured a “significant investment” for Mielle Organics from Berkshire, which typically makes equity investments of $100 million to $1 billion in size. But it’s not just about turning a profit for Monique. She’s paying it forward with her More Than a Strand philanthropic initiative, which includes $200,000 in scholarships for HBCU students and $1 million for the brand’s Global Education and Entrepreneurship Program in partnership with Rutgers University and the Newark Business Hub. In this episode of WorkParty, Jaclyn chats with Monique about how she scaled her business from self-made to shelf space and how she’s paying it forward to fellow entrepreneurs along the way. • Join the party on social @workparty and stay in-the-know at workparty.com.
