In this episode of Startup Breakdown we talk about the challenges of rehoming a dog, paint colours and what a lovely customer acquisition process Coat Paints have. We also talk about being a female entrepreneur without kids and how we all need to have community spaces that speak to us and our position. We also have a fairly lengthy conversation about being single.

We talk when is the right time to invest on paid advertising, so that we don't waste money.
