On December 14, 2023, I was in the Gerard Lounge at Vancouver’s Sutton Place Hotel, attending the launch of Goddess Sphere—a vibrant lifestyle brand curating best-in-class products created for women, by women—during which this exciting new female-led company unveiled its first patented product [BLOOM™] and explained its North American launch timeline and strategy to brokers and investment advisors, as well as members of the media; resulting in the successful sale of seed shares, media interest, and funds raised to commence with the fulfillment of product orders as well as research and development.

Founded by my friends, Susan Stadnyk and Kate MacDougall, as a socially responsible, one-stop-shop for women seeking the best in health, beauty, wellness, and fun; Goddess Sphere is bursting onto the e-commerce space with its patented, groundbreaking arousal gel, BLOOM™, along with a thoughtful curation of organic skincare and wellness products.  Proven to enhance female arousal through both increased vaginal blood flow/lubrication and clitoral engorgement/sensitivity; and perfect for self-exploration as well as intimacy with others; BLOOM™—in addition to being available for purchase via www.Goddess-Sphere.com—will be sold at several major retailers throughout the United States. This dual-pronged approach, coupled with a savvy digital marketing strategy highlighted by a clever and flirty “guerilla” influencer campaign, will achieve maximum market awareness.  It’s no coincidence that the US launch of BLOOM™ has been set to coincide with International Women’s Day, on March 08, 2024.

Here are a few things to note: According to Statista, the Beauty & Personal Care market [which is comprised of four segments: Cosmetics, Skin Care, Personal Care, and Fragrance] realized a revenue of $581.87 billion in 2022, with Personal Care being the largest segment, accounting for 45%.  Further, the average American woman spends upwards of $3,756/year on Beauty & Personal Care products and services.  And, per Business Insider, companies in the Beauty & Personal Care sectors will continue to benefit from social media influencers and brand ambassadors.

Present at the December 14th launch were brokers and investment advisors from Raymond James, PI Financial Corp, Stadnyk & Partners Venture Capital, Argor Capital (formerly GoTo Ventures), Canaccord Genuity, and Bank of Montreal; local bloggers and traditional media attendees including outlets including CTV News, The Shopping Network, ShulmanSays, Daily Hive Vancouver, and BCLiving; and such prominent Vancouverites as Jason Matlo (Creative Director, Matlo Atelier), Zach Stadnyk (co-Founder, The Banker Boys), Linda Kovic and Jeff Peifer (Proprietors, Pender Harbour Resort & Marina) Paul Jacoy, George Tsafalas (Senior Partner, Freud Cigar Co.) and Caroline Tsafalas, David Stadnyk (Founder, Agape Lifestyle, Inc.), Melisa and Harold Duncan-Williams (The Duncan-Williams Group), Laurie Vekic, Fran Will, Georgia Stadnyk, Crystal Carson (Founder, CNC Global Consulting), Dr. Jonas Laforge (Director, Club Aesthetics), Judy Bernaschek (President, Showcase Pianos), and Manuel Bernaschek (Proprietor, Stefano Ricci, Vancouver).

The incredible team of female entrepreneurs who have brought Goddess Sphere into being is helmed by venture capitalist Susan Stadnyk and communications guru, Kate MacDougall, who identified a need in the market to which their respective skill sets are impeccably suited, and which they have every intention of dominating.   And if you aren’t already humming the chorus of  “Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves” [the 1985 hit feminist anthem by Eurythmics (Annie Lennox and David Stewart) featuring the late Queen of Soul, herself, Aretha Franklin], just keep on reading.

Stadnyk (Chair, Goddess Sphere) is recognized as a seasoned venture capitalist with more than two decades of professional experience, during which time she co-founded Stadnyk & Partners Venture Capital (for which she serves as a Partner and Director of Marketing), orchestrating and steering the company’s strategic growth while developing transformative alliances with several publicly-traded powerhouse companies; while also serving as a strategic advisor and consultant for a number of private companies, most recently, Freud Cigar Co.  It’s Susan’s unwavering belief in spirituality and interconnectedness that permeates through each of her endeavors, fostering environments of harmonious collaboration.

MacDougall (CEO, Goddess Sphere), another dogged proponent of spirituality and interconnectedness, is a 15-year veteran communications expert, is the Founder/Director of Camber Communications, and has adroitly developed and led marketing initiatives for major international companies including Armani/Casa, Ford Motor Company, Lululemon Athletica, Monogram, Revlon, Watier, and Vail Resorts.

These two dynamos have been joined by the members of Goddess Sphere’s advisory board: Dawne Russell, whose twenty-plus years of experience in the sectors of health, wellness, luxury, beauty, and regenerative medicine led to her directing education and sales in cutting edge regenerative medicine at Costa Rica’s luxurious Rythmia Life Advancement Center, and to opening a Canadian-based beauty, health, and aesthetics clinic, scheduled to debut in Spring 2024; Ivy Lu, an associate at Stadnyk & Partners Venture Capital, who oversees the day-to-day operations of the company and its portfolio of publicly traded entities, while spearheading client-investor relations, contract negotiations, and fundraising; Sarah Lane, who brings her education in psychology (with a special focus on human sexuality and women’s wellness), more than a decade experience in managerial leadership and customer experience metrics, and her passion for the health and wellness industry; and Monet Beswick, a successful e-commerce entrepreneur (focused on the fields of sexual wellness and sustainable products for bath, body, and home), and a creative director for photoshoots, with a proven track-record of developing and growing social media communities.
