Before she was a ‘Shark’, Jane Lu was faking a day job and hiding her startup from her parents.
Now she’s Founder and CEO of Showpo, one of Australia’s most successful online fashion brands, pulling in over US$100 million a year – all without external funding. In this episode, Lu shares how she turned fear and failure into fuel, what Shark Tank Australia taught her about imposter syndrome and why backing yourself is the ultimate investment.
Her journey will change how you think about failure.
