Growing a Baby Business to $1M: Lindsay Pinchuk as an Accidental Entrepreneur

Lindsay Pinchuk left her high-powered magazine publishing executive job and started her entrepreneurial journey with a $500 investment and a baby on the way. She was the Founder and CEO of Bump Club and Beyond, one of the largest and most trusted event and online based communities among parents and parents-to-be. She grew it from local events in Chicago to a national platform executing events in 35+ cities in North America, with 7-figures generated in revenue year over year and three million users per month. Not only does she walk us through that process, we also get to know about the acquisition of Bump Club and Beyond, and Lindsay’s reasons for leaving. 

Now, Lindsay takes what she knows and consults with other businesses both large and small, to build and monetize their communities through content, social media, email, events, partnerships and publicity strategies.

Lindsay Pinchuk is also an award-winning entrepreneur, consultant, community builder, connector, storyteller, expert marketer, social media maven, spokesperson, on-air expert, small business champion, and Mom. You can find her behind the mic of her twice weekly podcast for female founders, Dear FoundHer.

In her personal life, Lindsay lives on Chicago’s North Shore with her husband, two daughters and mini Bernadoodle, Ollie.
