Georgina Gooley is an entrepreneur, creative, and co-founder of shaving disruptor, Billie. After quitting her full-time job and raising $100k at an accelerator, Gooley & fellow co-founder launched Billie in November 2017. A little over 1 year later, Gooley is a business owner with 14 employees, and is disrupting the shaving industry by putting women first, defying the “pink tax,” and making shaving a routine that’s more delightful and affordable.

We’ll also hear from LIVELY Ambassador Bianca Caampued, who is the co-founder of Small Girls PR. Her first YOLO moment was crashing her now business partner's birthday party and working on a business plan with her the next week. 8 years later, Small Girls is now a team of 50 with offices in New York and LA. Her latest YOLO moment was moving from New York to Tulsa, Oklahoma to broaden her business and continue her entrepreneurial goals.
