From $30K to $200K Months, What It Actually Took - Simone Rae SALT AND RIPPLE

In this episode of IN REAL TIME, I sit down with Simone Rae, founder of Salt and Ripple, a swim and activewear brand that’s scaled from $30K months to $200K+ months, serving over 30,000 customers.

We get into what it actually looks like to build a product-based business from the ground up, from funding your first collection with your own money, to navigating cash flow, manufacturing, and the realities of scaling in fashion.

This conversation is raw, honest, and packed with the kind of insights most founders don’t talk about.
