Meet Tracy Holland, the founder who built HatchBeauty into a $100M+ powerhouse and more than $750M in lifetime revenue, without a single dollar of VC or PE.
While most founders get told they have to raise to scale, Tracy built a completely self-funded engine that outperformed venture-backed competitors. She turned a $2M agency into her investor, negotiated net-90 terms as an unknown startup, landed retail giants like Costco and Target, and built systems that eventually let her step out of the operator seat entirely.

In this episode, Tracy pulls back the curtain on the exact frameworks she used to scale from $0 to $100M—and the mindset shifts founders must make if they want to build a high-growth, high-ownership business without burning out.

💡 Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• How to Self-Fund Your First $10M: Why Tracy built a service engine that produced the cash flow she used to launch and scale her product business.
• How to Land Major Retail Partners (Costco, Target, Ulta, CVS): Her repeatable strategy for turning retailers into collaborators, not gatekeepers.
• How to Negotiate Net-90 Terms as a Small Brand: The transparency play and forecasting packet she used to secure vendor credit early.
• How to Manage Cash Flow Like a CFO: The cash cycle, factoring strategy, and weekly money disciplines that took her from $2M → $10M → $35M → $100M.
• How to Build a Self-Operating Company: The exact SOP and IP systems she used to eventually fire herself as operator and create true freedom of time.
