(Watch) The ROI: Bootstrapping Your Business Featuring Miko Branch, Cofounder Miss Jessie’s

Feb. 25 2019, Published 12:00 p.m. ET

Welcome to The ROI. A new show hosted by Rhonesha Byng the Founder and CEO of Her Agenda in partnership with Alley.

At Her Agenda, we love a good acronym, the ROI stands for Return On Investment and is a direct measurement of the amount of return on a particular investment relative to the investment’s cost. It ends up being a percentage or a ratio. So in this series, we sit down with creators, and innovators to get to the bottom of this key question…

What is the investment needed in order to create a return on your hustle, your passion, and your purpose?

On our first episode, we sit down with Miko Branch the CEO and Co-Founder of Miss Jessie’s to learn about what it takes to generate a return on investment for a bootstrapped company. Her greatest investment = talent and the partnership she had with her co-founder and sister Titi Branch.
