Building a World-Changing Startup with Cindy Gallop

Cindy Gallop is the creator of MakeLoveNotPorn, the world’s first and only user-generated, human curated social sex video-sharing platform. Cindy believes that normalizing and socializing sex makes it easier for others to talk about it openly and honestly and promotes consent, communication, and strong sexual values and behaviors. Cindy is a brand and business innovator, consultant, coach, and keynote speaker as well as a Board Advisor for multiple organizations including Handi, Awkward Essentials, and Pomp and Whimsy. Cindy joins us today to discuss how she is creating the safest adult video streaming platform on the internet while combatting rape culture - one video at a time. She shares what inspired her to create MakeLoveNotPorn and the mission and values that continue to drive her. We discuss how her platform helps people worldwide talk openly about sex and the challenges she faced when working to secure venture capital and advertisers. We also discuss her perspective on the “No Hour Work Week” and why she believes female entrepreneurs need ‘champions’ instead of mentors. “We don’t have enough role models in society for women (and men) that demonstrate that you can live your life very differently to the way that you’re expected to and still be amazingly happy.” - Cindy Gallop This week on SocialFly’s Entreprenista Podcast: Cindy’s career journey and what inspired her to launch MakeLoveNotPorn The global social issue Cindy aims to address through her platformCindy’s mission with the MakeLoveNotPorn platform and how she hopes to normalize and socialize sex in societyThe difference between MakeLoveNotPorn and other social media and adult video streaming platformsThe biggest challenges Cindy faced when launching the platformThe ‘creator economy’ and how Cindy designed her revenue-share model to democratize access to income for content creatorsHow the MakeLoveNotPorn revenue-sharing model helped content creators maintain their lifestyles through the COVID-19 pandemicThe fundraising process Cindy uses to raise money for the platform and the challenges she faces when seeking investors and advertisersHow the platform has helped users boost their self-confidence, enhanced their sexual self-esteem, and transform their intimate relationshipsCindy’s passion for empowering women and her perspective on Tim Ferriss’ 4 Hour Work WeekThe difference between “champions” and “mentors” and why Cindy believes female entrepreneurs need more champions Resources Mentioned: Genius Scan App Connect with Cindy Gallop: MakeLoveNotPornCindy Gallop Official WebsitePodcast: The Social Sex RevolutionMakeLoveNotPorn on LinkedInMakeLoveNotPorn on InstagramMakeLoveNotPorn on FacebookMakeLoveNotPorn on TwitterCindy Gallop on LinkedInCindy Gallop on Instagram Join the Entreprenista League!
