And I think that's the thing that COVID's shown us." — Nina Kharey, founder of Folds In this episode Join Nina Kharey, Founder of SheEO Venture Folds, and Hannah Cree, SheEO Venture-in-Residence, as they discuss how Folds began and how Nina used existing supply chains to fill a need in the market during the COVID-19 pandemic.
