Maia Bittner is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and social media influencer. She's been a cofounder at RocksBox, a subscription Jewelry company, and Pinch, a financial services app (which was later acquired by Chime). She's also an advisor to Parcel B, an investment fund supporting startups founded by students and alumni at her alma mater, Olin College.
She’s been featured in the Wall St Journal, Huffington Post, Forbes, TechCrunch, CheddarTV, Crunchbase, Lifehacker, and more. She’s also been featured on a bunch of great podcasts, including Chicks Who Give a Hoot, Crazy Wisdom, and Bank On It.
At RocksBox, Maia and her co-founder Meaghan Rose were able to raise ~$15m, despite the challenges of raising capital in San Francisco as a pair of female co-founders targeting women customers.
Later, at Pinch, she raised a pre-seed round of close to $1m with her cofounder, Michael Ducker.

Some of the things we talk about on the podcast are:
- What does it mean to find Product Market Fit (PMF) and how can you work towards that?
- How to use Net Promoter Score (NPS) to improve customer experience.
- How to decide which investors to pitch your idea to.
- Why you shouldn't always listen to industry standard advice and how A/B testing helped RocksBox grow.
- Why sometimes founders need to throw in the towel and move on to something else.
