Some happy news. A few weeks ago I advanced to the next round of the SHE Pitch Competition.
As a very early-stage founder, much of this journey has involved learning new skills, asking questions, and taking small steps forward each day. From researching fabrics and refining designs to building a website and connecting with manufacturers, there have been countless moments when progress felt slow and uncertain.
Being selected to move forward is a meaningful reminder that the idea resonates with others too.
While competitions aren't the goal, they provide valuable opportunities to share a vision, receive feedback, and connect with people who believe in supporting women entrepreneurs.
There is still plenty of work ahead. Samples are in development, preparations for launch continue, and I am working toward bringing Underjoy to life one step at a time.
For now, I'm taking a moment to celebrate this milestone and say thank you to everyone who has encouraged me, shared feedback, joined the email list, or simply cheered me on along the way.
Your support means more than you know.
I'm excited to see what comes next.
