How to Build A Plant Empire with Eliza Blank

The Dough

Eliza Blank built the million dollar business, The Sill, by giving people what they wanted: plants, right at their doorsteps. No more schlepping to the local store, and no more wondering how to care for your new plant baby. She wanted plants to be accessible to all, not just the Martha Stewart followers of the world. She talks to X about busting her butt to make this happen, from launching her Kickstarter to hand-delivering plants in NYC to pitching venture capitalist funders. Whether you’re a female entrepreneur yourself or just desperately trying to keep your monstera alive, Eliza has advice for you.
