Looking Back to Look ForwardKey Takeaways:[00:10:39] “Research is always iterating just like design. So I really want to keep that active research going, including participation from the audience.” - Phoebe[00:13:06] “Japan has been living in the year 2000 since 1980.” - Phoebe[00:29:09] “In a low context culture, people tend to communicate more directly, more explicitly, and in a high context culture, people would communicate in a more nuanced, more implicit kind of way.” - Phoebe[00:32:24] “It is always good to reduce user friction no matter what. We have to look at things contextually and see how that friction serves how that user feels about a certain service, a certain platform.” - Phoebe[00:42:47] “There is an inherent sense of curiosity when it comes to how different cultures operate because we, us, personally, we grew up in a specific culture, and it's easy to think that that is just how things are done across the board. But then when you realize there are different people doing things in a different way, that it might shatter your existing notions about certain things, and that raises a lot of questions of how things can be done.” - PhoebeAssociated Links:Subscribe on YouTube to Phoebe YuCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

I think any entrepreneur needs to be that – to always have a high energy level and just think the world will get better." Kat Dey: "Customers were asking to wear our fabric. So we made a women's wear collection, which is really beautiful." "We have a different type of material, which is a waffle weave, so we made towels and bath robes."

In this episode of Zero to CEO I speak to entrepreneurs Phoebe Yu & Kat Dey about the challenges of running a successful business and making a positive impact in the world. Phoebe Yu is the Co-Founder and CEO of Ettitude, and Kat Dey is the Co-Founder and President of Ettitude, a direct-to-consumer brand best known for its 100% organic bedding and sleepwear made from the world's first CleanBamboo fabric. Phoebe founded Ettitude in Melbourne, Australia, but moved and took her business with her when she noticed that orders from the US market were beginning to pick up. Upon arrival, Phoebe realized she'd need a strong co-founder with experience in branding to help her navigate the massive US market, and she turned to AngelList, where she found Kat Dey in 2018. We discuss how they grew their company from a small Australian-based business to a global brand! We talk about how more consumers are buying better-for-the-planet products. How conscious companies can make it easier for consumers to choose sustainable products every time they shop. How businesses can take a lead on addressing the global climate crisis. And lastly how to overcome challenges unique to female entrepreneurs.
I Built a Company That Makes a Difference - Sustainable Small Business Podcast
We got to chat with Kat Dey and Phoebe Yu from ettitude, who are dedicated to creating a more sustainable and regenerative future for all by innovating the next-gen home fabric called clean bamboo that is an eco-friendly alternative to polyester and other synthetic materials. Well-being is at the core of their brand identity, which can be seen in their company values when it comes to staff well-being as well as offering products that do good for the planet and people.
This episode is brought to you by Sendlane. Kat and Phoebe say, “So I think the new breed of sustainable brands is starting to be more performance focused and strive for a reasonable price point. Then they add on the sustainable side of things. This makes it easier for consumers to switch. And I think that's why more and more consumer are switching. Hopefully, we're helping to bring about that change and help establish that sustainable products are actually better products, more premium products with better performance.” Today, we interview Kat Dey, Co-founder and President and Phoebe Yu, Founder & CEO at Ettitude. Ettitude is a fabric innovation and lifestyle brand making the world's softest, most sustainable materials with their proprietary CleanBamboo™. We discuss: * What they are grateful for * Overview and origin of the brand * Why they are eco focused * Their patented technology as a competitive advantage * Ettitude's high rating as a B-Corp * Why Bamboo and why it outperforms other fabrics * The benefits of bamboo such as better sleep and anti-microbial * Why cotton is bad for the environment and consumers * A review of their products, including bedding as their flagship product * Other fabrics, including Vegan Cashmere * Corporate gifting and their Oeko-Tex standard certification, which keeps your baby safe * And so much more… Join Ramon Vela, Kat Dey, and Phoebe Yu as we break down the inside story of Ettitude on The Story of a Brand.

Kat Dey and Phoebe Yu, business partners of Ettitude - a sustainable textile company, reflect on the gratifying moments of their journey with an innovative product in this interview. They share valuable tips for entrepreneurs looking to partner up, detail the research they undertook to develop their product and explain why they are passionate about creating a regenerative future. They also delve into topics such as how to stay creative and motivated despite challenges and overcome unique challenges faced by female entrepreneurs. Finally, they explain why their company is a proud member of 1% For The Planet and their commitment to supporting charities helping address climate change problems. Clean Bamboo is the world's first nontoxic bamboo fabric and has superior wicking, cooling, and antimicrobial properties compared to conventional materials. Pure Bamboo can be blended with other fibres to create a variety of functional benefits. Eco-conscious fashion brands are using it to replace traditional textiles in their existing lines. The global team for Clean Bamboo is based in Los Angeles due to the overlap of business hours with Asia, as well as the growing startup culture and focus on fashion innovation. This has allowed the company to have a positive global perspective when serving its consumers.
The Bedding and Sleepwear industry will never be the same. Climate Tech and sustainability is invading the textile space as well and entrepreneurs Phoebe Yu and Kat Dey have teamed up with a clean take on bamboo fabric that's both good for the environment and remarkably comfortable with their Eco-friendly with an attitude bedding and sleepwear company - Ettitude. The two paired up nearly five years ago as Yu was looking for a US partner and met marketing guru and veteran startup founder Dey. The stars aligned - literally - and Yu, based in Australia, knew she found the right partner and the two got to work marketing their sustainably made bamboo sheets and sleepwear. Slowed but not stopped by Covid, they're now looking to get into retailers after having gone direct-to-consumer and have an obscenely low return rate and have raised more than $1.7M to date. Phoebe breaks down what makes their fabric so special - and comfy - and what's next for the burgeoning retailer.

Buckle up for this interview with Kat Dey, co-founder of the sustainable lifestyle brand ettitude. Kat comes in with loads of wisdom for direct-to-customer (DTC) brands. Any brand selling online can benefit from this interview, but DTC brands with a mission will feel as though Kat speaks directly to them. The brand ettitude makes bedding and bath essentials with CleanBamboo, their innovative sustainable textile, and Kat demonstrates what a mission like that does for a brand. Kat's own trajectory was stated well before ettitude. She's a serial entrepreneur and was named as one of “35 People to Watch” and “EY Entrepreneurial Winning Woman” in 2016. This interview doesn't just focus on mission branding—Kat digs deep into vital data cues all brands online need to know, like customer acquisition cost (CAC) and lifetime value (LTV). Listen to the full episode for her tips! What to listen for: Kat's extraordinary background equipped her with many lessons learned and a “scrappy” attitude that she brought to ettitude. Making mistakes and learning from them, she remarks, is just how this works. A world like digital commerce is too new for any person to have all the answers right out of the gate. Early in the interview, Kat talks about the benefits of brands that rally behind a mission, like ettitude does. (Hint: their brand name stands for “eco-attitude.”) Listen to the full interview to learn about the first mission-driven DTC brand she grew and sold, too. E-commerce saw colossal growth during the pandemic, but rapid growth isn't guaranteed brand-to-brand, Kat maintains. Raising enough capital to grow fast, as most brands know right out of the gate, is hard. Brands that want to pursue a riskier and faster growth strategy still can, however, as long as they have that capital or a revolutionary product that customers will rave about online. Kat then reflects on co-founding a brand and on what happens when that brand grows. As ettitude was able to hire more senior managers to drive different departments, Kat and ettitude's other co-founder, Phoebe Yu, each moved into more specialty-focused roles. Today, Kat oversees marketing, finance, and HR. When asked about the metrics that really matter (in a world filled with data that brands can quickly become overwhelmed by), Kat says without hesitation that lifetime value (LTV) and customer acquisition cost (CAC) are the key numbers to watch. Kat wraps the interview discussing ettitude's own decision to put “pause” on in-person retail, and why they still don't sell on Amazon (for now). Kat says of Amazon: “you do lose margin so you have to decide if it's worth it for you. There is a cash flow delay.” At the same time, she says, anyone doing traditional retail right now or who has the opportunity should consider taking it. Omnichannel, she assures us, is the “way of the future.”
