She was one of the first investors in bitcoin (making a return of over $80,000 from $9 invested in 2012) with a background in finance at both Goldman Sachs and Blackstone. She raised £500,000 in seed funding and angel investors such as Zoopla and Urban Massage to launch Evermore, a lifestyle and nutrition brand that combines her personal love for health and science.

What do you do at the moment?

I’m the founder & CEO of Evermore. We’re an active lifestyle brand in functional nutrition. Since we believe your health & energy are your coolest assets, our range of products and services are here to boost them each day.

What/whom inspires you?

Beyond creating a timeless brand, Coco Chanel pioneered what it means to be a woman in business. I’ve got so much respect for that.

Could you share your inspirational quote or motto?

There’s good in the bad and bad in the good. It all depends from your perspective!

I share many thoughts along these lines at @alessandra_evermore

What would you suggest to those who just started or are dreaming about being an entrepreneur?

Get to know yourself really well. What drives you? What does success look like if you embark on this journey? It’s important to be fully aligned with your own “why”, so that you can make it through the inevitably intense times that entrepreneurship brings along.
