And now for this week’s prescription:
On this week’s dose (1:45), we start things off with a discussion on Collective, the first AI-powered finance platform that’s designed for solopreneurs, hot off a $50M raise. (9:42) Then, we talk about WasteFuel, a startup that’s advancing sustainability in the global shipping industry by converting waste into fuel, fresh off their $10M Series B. (15:05) Lastly, we close out this week’s dose with a breakdown on Skims, Kim Kardashian’s shapewear clothing line, which just raised a $270M Series C as the company looks to open flagship stores in the U.S.
