Rave Nailz: Designer Press On Nails

Rave Nailz: Designer Press On Nails

Author: Draper Startup House Accelerator August 2, 2021 Duration: 31:11

Ep #026 - Rave Nailz creates nail-masterpieces ranging from long and witchy to checkered with things hanging off. Literally, you can have your nails chained together if you so choose.

 

On this episode we are joined by the Founder and CEO of Rave Nailz, Braelinn Frank as well as the Co-founders of Draper Startup House, Katie Russel and Daniel Wiegand.

 

Braelinn Frank aka Rave Nailz is an Austin-based nail artist who got started in 2012 while living in LA. She gained notoriety for her nails always being on point for whichever rave she was attending that night (hence the name, Rave Nailz). Since she was of course posting these all up on the 'gram, people began to ask how they could get her designs on their nails. SO she decided to start painting press on nails and selling them on Etsy. You can order your Rave Nailz at ravenailz.com or find them on instagram @Rave_Nailz.

Ever wondered what really happens when an entrepreneur sits down across from a potential investor? Pitch Please pulls back the curtain on those high-stakes, usually private, discussions. Each episode features an actual pitch session between a startup founder and venture capitalists, recorded in full so you can hear the exact questions, the pauses, the pushback, and the passion. After the pitch, the hosts from Draper Startup House Accelerator break it all down, analyzing the strengths of the business model, the holes in the logic, and the subtle dynamics most people miss. It’s a masterclass in real-time negotiation and evaluation. You’re not just a passive listener; you’re invited to weigh the evidence yourself and decide if you’d write that check. This podcast goes beyond theory, offering a raw, unfiltered look at the anatomy of a funding conversation. From the opening hook to the final handshake (or rejection), you get the complete picture of what separates a promising idea from a fundable venture. Tune in for an authentic, sometimes gritty, always educational journey into the heart of venture capital, one pitch at a time.
