How to Build a Sex Toy Empire Without Selling Your Soul (or Raising VC), with Alexandra Fine, Co-Founder and CEO of Dame Products

What if you could build a multi-million dollar company from a coin, some cellophane, and zero outside capital?

Alexandra Fine did exactly that.

She’s the Co-Founder and CEO of Dame Products—one of the most iconic sex toy brands in the world. In this episode, Alexandra gets radically honest about:

🔥 Starting her company in her grandma’s pool house

🔥 Prototyping her first product using plastic from an art supply store

🔥 Launching on Indiegogo and raising $575K in 45 days

🔥 Navigating bans, shadowbanning, and the politics of pleasure

🔥 Getting canceled (and crying about Glassdoor reviews)

🔥 Redefining ambition after becoming a mom

This is one of the most vulnerable, hilarious, and real conversations we’ve ever had on Unfinished Business.

💡 If you’re a founder questioning how to start, how to stay, or how to survive—you’ll want to hear every word.
