Details

Join us for a conversation with Jane Dong, where we'll cover her decision to go to business school, her path to founding an apparel company, and her recent experience fundraising via Kickstarter for Frankly Apparel.More about Jane, in her words:I'm the co-founder / COO of Frankly Apparel, a company that makes braless clothing. Our clothes do everything a bra does (shaping, support, coverage), but without a separate undergarmentI grew up in Fremont, CA and went to Columbia as a golf recruit. Not knowing anything about finance, I cold-called my way into my freshman year internship at a hedge fund (don't do this). I interned at Goldman the next two summers and returned full time before realizing that finance wasn't for me.I joined Uber in 2015 where I started on the New Jersey team (ask me about the earlier days here), worked in India on driver growth, and eventually moved to Uber Eats, centralizing driver acquisition spend. While I loved working at Uber, I went to Stanford GSB to test ideas.After a failed B2B SaaS idea, I worked at Gainsight to better understand how to go to market with a B2B product.I never expected to start a digitally native brand, but after going through a GSB class with my co-founder, I realized I would always regret not trying when I felt so strongly about an idea, so I started Frankly after graduation with my co-founder, in the middle of COVID!
