Bronte and cofounder Libby Babbett, are now raising capital for Earthletica on the crowdfunding platform Birchal, having already generated more than $200,000 in revenue, selling out its first-year products.
She decided to tackle a key problem in the $600 billion activewear market – it’s made from virgin plastics and harsh chemicals. Earthletica uses recycled and organic materials, avoids PFAS (the forever chemical) treatments, and is designed with end-of-life recycling in mind.
Startup 360 hosts Simon and Majella talk to Bronte about what a winning mindset and focus in sport brings to founder life, overcoming setbacks and discussing a subject close to her heart, creating a winning team culture.
