9. Making Money by Changing How the World Has Sex with Cindy Gallop of MakeLoveNotPorn

  • Summary

  • Founders are a rare breed and that’s because It takes a certain kind of person to create a startup. 

    Not everyone can stomach the financial risk that comes with being a founder, the responsibility of managing employees with an uncertain future, and the constant self-doubt when nothing is going right. 

    But when you believe you have a truly world-changing startup, it becomes a calling that you can’t ignore.

    Our guest this week on First Pitches, Cindy Gallop, has just that. Cindy is the founder of MakeLoveNotPorn, a startup making money by changing how the world has sex.

    Cindy is also a sought-after speaker on marketing, business innovation, and gender issues and was also voted Advertising Woman of the Year in 2003.

    But over 10 years ago, it was a different story. 

    As accomplished as Cindy was, she could not get a single investor to invest in MakeLoveNotPorn; not because they didn’t believe in Cindy or the business, but because they were worried, “what others might think.”

    At one point she almost gave up, but the flood of public emails thanking her for breaking taboos inspired her to carry on.  

    And in 2018, she was able to raise 2M to continue MakeLoveNotPorn’s mission of disrupting social media by socializing sex and improving our sex lives for the better. 

    Listen to find out how Cindy is changing the world to fit her mission.
