Hi! I’m Winxi and here’s a little story about how I went from growing above my parents’ takeaway
 to building a women’s wellness company. I’m 1/4 of @theohcollective and I’m building alongside my 3 besties @hi.simona @dnlin21 @_edenchiang_ 👋

Part two of
 I don’t think corporate us would’ve approved of any of this.

When we left @nike , we thought building a business would mean strategy, branding, product development...

We quickly learned it’d also involve:
Working in a s*x shop 
Creating fake Tinder accounts as free marketing
Pop-ups every weekend
Guerilla attacks everywhere
 and so many more! 

Looking back, almost none of the things that moved the business forward were in the original plan.

You kind of just... solve whatever problem is in front of you.

One week you’re pitching retailers.
The next you’re painting walls.
The week after you’re packing boxes.

It’s chaotic, occasionally ridiculous, and somehow it all starts to make sense.

I don’t think you need to be fearless to build something.

You just need to be willing to do things that feel a little embarrassing before they eventually become a good story.

If you’re into honest founder updates, product launches, retail wins (and inevitable disasters), come follow along.

We quickly learned it’d also involve:

dressing up as giant vulvas
my mum buying 30 vibes for her friends
converting a van into a giant vulv@
working on factory production lines
signing a lease because
 it was hard to be online
and spending years not paying ourselves

to being shut down by Chinese 👼
