"The Rainmaker: Learning How to Thrive Not Just Survive in a Pandemic" w/ Vicki Vasilopoulos, Co-founder of TheElysians.com - a podcast by WOCstar Fund

On today's episode, Diana sits down with Vicki Vasilopoulos, co-founder of  TheElysians.com, a platform for the U.S. market featuring exclusive, hand-crafted, fashion pieces, jewelry, and accessories made in Greece. These inspiring creators preserve their renowned Hellenic culture by reviving traditional techniques – like weaving and embroidery -- in a contemporary and sophisticated style that appeals to American consumers. Vicki and Elysians co-founder, Athina, recently received a $4,000 crowdfunded loan through WE Fund Crowd and Kiva which they attribute to saving their business during the pandemic. The loan of $4,000 will provide working capital to pay for the rising costs of wholesale inventory, fulfillment, and marketing. Join us in welcoming Vicki and Diana discuss the struggles of entrepreneurship and how WE NYC and crowdfunding has helped Vicki survive this past year.
