Description:
Hi, I'm Eve Friedman, Founder & CEO of Eve Echo, Inc. We come to the market with a fresh and fashionable approach to the health and beauty sector with one mission in mind - to transform women’s lives through economic empowerment in USA and developing world. With every purchase made, Eve Echo will invest 100% of profits to organizations that enable women to start and grow their own businesses, creating social-impact to lift themselves, families and communities from poverty. The original funds plus interest are returned to Eve Echo from the selected microfinance partner, reinvested back into the company to scale for growth and greater social responsibility.
We bring to the market a completely new style of health and beauty products. We're launching a new brand of soap and hand sanitizers - with the underlying theme being: it’s our hands…women to women.
We are a for-profit social business. Our revenue channels will come from aggressive online campaigns to drive e-commerce via our website to partnering with major retailers in United States, and in phase II around the world. The products and fulfillment channel have been established and will be in production soon using our own capital. Website is already in the works: (URL removed)
We have an aggressive growth strategy and target profitability in 24 months from the date of launch. First year, start-up cost is estimated $100,000-$150,000 with first year (after launch – or 18 months since inception) revenue target of $200,000 with a profitability margin of 35%.
