Episode 9 of Go Fund Yourself once again proved why the nationally televised series is captivating audiences across the country. With bold founders, high-stakes pitches, and powerhouse Titans ready to mentor and invest, GFY is more than just television—it’s an entrepreneurial movement. And with South Florida, and Boca Raton in particular, becoming a hub for innovation, the show resonates even more with our local community.
Venus Dreams Blends: Sustainable Luxury with Room to Grow
While the products are luxurious, the challenges are real. The founders must scale sourcing, stay compliant with regulatory standards, and find ways to differentiate in an already crowded wellness market. Still, their authenticity and passion struck a chord with the Titans and the audience alike. As Boca residents know, wellness and sustainability are more than trends—they’re part of the lifestyle here, making Venus Dreams a brand to watch. Support the funding here.
ThatsSmoooth: Grooming Innovation with Swagger
Next, ThatsSmoooth brought bold energy to the stage with a prestige grooming line designed for multicultural men. Targeting those with wavy and curly hair, the brand bridges the gap between mass-market drugstore products and inaccessible luxury imports.
Their all-natural shave and beard-care products are designed to prevent irritation and deeply hydrate skin, solving problems long overlooked by mainstream brands. With plans to scale through direct-to-consumer sales, retail partnerships, and salon distribution, ThatsSmoooth is stepping into a category with massive potential. As the Titans noted, it’s an underserved market ready for disruption. Support the Funding here.
Titans Bring Experience, Entertainment, and Opportunity
Of course, no episode of Go Fund Yourself would be complete without the Titans—visionary leaders including Rory Cutaia, Jayson Waller, and David Meltzer. More than investors, these Titans bring decades of experience, sharp insights, and tough love that push founders to think bigger and execute smarter.
For viewers, it’s not just entertainment—it’s a master class in entrepreneurship. For founders, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get feedback, visibility, and potentially funding from some of the biggest names in business.
Why Boca Residents Should Pay Attention
Boca Raton has always been a city of innovation—from the invention of the IBM PC at the Boca Raton Innovation Campus (BRiC) to today’s thriving community of startups, tech companies, and investors. Go Fund Yourself reflects that same entrepreneurial energy, giving founders the stage to tell their stories and grow their businesses while inspiring the next generation of innovators.
For Boca locals, it’s another reminder that entrepreneurship isn’t just happening in Silicon Valley—it’s thriving right here in our own backyard. With every new episode, the show amplifies the message that resilience, creativity, and bold ideas are the engines of growth.

And that’s what makes Go Fund Yourself special. It’s not just about raising money—it’s about resilience, reinvention, and the courage to keep moving forward. For Boca Raton, a city proud of its entrepreneurial DNA, that’s a story worth celebrating.
