Our readers may recognize the name, Julia Dawn Taylor, as the longtime partner of the renown Quarter Horse, Zippo LTD, who passed away earlier this year. A former AQHA youth and amateur competitor, Julia is now the founder and CEO of an Austin, Texas-based company, EverlyWell, that provides home health test kits for everything ranging from food sensitivity and fertility to STD and testosterone levels.
Over the weekend, Julia made history by landing a historic deal on ABC’s hit show, Shark Tank. According to local station, Austin360, Cheek received a $1 million credit line from Lori Grenier in exchange for 5% equity in her company. That’s the largest valuation for a solo female entrepreneur in the show’s history.
