Getting to a Successful Exit Featuring Ju Rhyu of Hero Cosmetics

The Retail X Series Podcast

When you’re just starting up your company, it may feel too early to be thinking about a future potential exit. But how does that exit ultimately happen? This episode features Ju Rhyu, co-founder and CEO of Hero Cosmetics, who sold her company for $630 million dollars to a strategic acquiror. Ju will talk about the decisions she and her co-founders made along the way that ultimately led them to a great outcome.

Topics:

  • Why a focus on what your ultimate outcome is important for how you set up your business from the beginning
  • How bootstrapping and a deep focus on profitability set up Hero for success
  • When and why Hero thought outside investors would be helpful 
  • The key metrics that the co-founders of Hero focused on to be ready for exit
  • How the co-founders decided it was time to exit
  • How the exit process works, including if founders stay post-acquisition or not
  • The emotional side of selling your startup
  • Why a focus on fundamentals is the most critical thing you can do in your own company
