When Gabi overcame her fear of the ocean, a love of the ocean emerged, so the inspiration behind the brand was born. Being out of your depth is a common part of entrepreneurship! By taking a different approach to developing a product, and beginning with storytelling, Love Ocean differentiated itself in the kids’ bath product market.

Gabi has raised over £600K from a mix of crowdfunding and friends and family. She found the complex financials needed for investors daunting so brought on financial partners that advised her to “Never try and blag your way through a financial answer”. Gabi advises working with experts, and coaches/ mentors to unlock the financial confidence needed to alleviate the pressure many female founders face when raising investment.
