Strong brand partnerships are often purpose-driven and allow you to bolster your brand values, raise awareness, and generate revenue.
When determining what kind of brand you should partner with, consider the founders behind the brand and their stories. Female-founded brands have taken off in the last few years. According to PitchBook, 3,871 venture capital-funded deals for female-founded startups raised $54.6 billion in funding in 2021, representing a 146% YoY increase from 2020.
