The founder of the best-selling Black-owned spirit brand shares why she prefers to work with individual investors over VC firms and how they helped her reach $100 million in sales

Weaver said she took funding only from individual investors, not from venture-capital or private-equity firms. Her strategy was to form a network of people who would naturally expand her brand with her, as they used her product in their daily lives.

Additionally, the brand was sold at some of the top golf courses in Pebble Beach, California, and Augusta, Georgia, prestigious golf areas, early in the company's history, she said.
