Building SheerLuxe: The build, growth and £40M sell

Building SheerLuxe: The build, growth and £40M sell

In this episode of Ladies Who Launch, we sit down with Georgie Coleridge Cole, Founder & CEO of SheerLuxe, the e-commerce and lifestyle powerhouse that redefined how women discover fashion, beauty, and culture online.


Georgie opens up about the formative experiences that shaped her entrepreneurial mindset, how she stumbled into the world of e-commerce before it was cool, and the raw reality of building an incredible team from scratch while the industry was still figuring out what digital media even meant.


What we cover:

  • The honest story of building SheerLuxe and becoming an entrepreneur
  • Discovering and navigating the world of e-commerce
  • Business investment and financing. Why access to capital looks very different for women in business
  • How to structure a strong team early and build a culture that scales
  • Juggling life, business, and motherhood. The real, unfiltered version


If you're a female founder navigating the chaos of building something bold, this one's for you.


We Are Ladies Who Launch!
