Alana Branston is the CEO and Co-Founder of Bulletin, a new retail concept that gives small, women-run merchants access to shelf space in the company’s physical stores.
Branston formerly worked in sales at the content marketing startup Contently before starting Bulletin as a side hustle with then colleague Ali Kriegsman, who is the startup’s COO.
After going through many different iterations of Bulletin and two separate Y Combinator accelerators, Branston and Kriegsman have created a space for female entrepreneurs to sell apparel, accessories, jewelry, and beauty products while creating a feminist, inclusive community centered around its physical stores. The company donates 10% of its profits to Planned Parenthood of NYC, solidifying its feminist cred.
