This is what we call a full Houzz! This morning, we gathered over 80 (!!) female founders for an exclusive session with Adi Tatarko, co-founder and Executive Chair (ex-CEO) of Houzz, one of the most successful startups founded by #Israelis. In this case, Adi and her Husband Alon Cohen, Co-Founder and CEO of Houzz. Together, we got the #unfiltered story of building Houzz, which started as a side project following Adi and Alon's frustrating experience renovating their house. It was mind blowing to hear how they navigated this side project into a global #powerhouse that soon became every homeowner's best friend for renovation planning. Adi emphasized the importance of your #mindset when beginning fundraising. It's essential to start confidently and from a position of strength, ideally with strong #validations of the product's market viability and the team's ability to lead. She also discussed their initial user acquisition strategy, including reaching out to parents from her kids' school (Hi Kathren 👋, Bryen’s mom from 3rd grade), and revealed her secret weapon when everything seems stuck (spoiler: the Frog story - it’s a must hear!). Thank you to all the founders who joined us! May we all jump together 🐸 Yasmin Lukatz I Jessica Hare I Noa Topaz I Karyn Priel I Liat Miller I Shlomit Cohen I Yaniv Benji I Noa Eilon | Shani Yavin
