According to an interview, Statter — who is the daughter of music exec Irving Azoff — followed in her family's footsteps and began her career in the entertainment industry before deciding to branch out and start her own company with friend Sherry Jhawar.
"It’s interesting because I was raised in the industry, so I have both a personal and professional background that has led me here," she said.

"I've grown up with Kim my whole life. Kim is basically family to me," she said in the video, adding, "Growing up, we went on vacations together, we went to school together, and we are as close to sisters as can be without actually having blood in our veins."
Statter has also worked with Kim's sister, Kourtney Kardashian.
Statter appears to be friends with the whole Kardashian family, and even worked with Kourtney on launching her lifestyle brand, Poosh. Last year, they shared a panel at the Create & Cultivate convention, talking about how well their friendship has translated into a working relationship.
“We were raised together, so to be able to help her, and for her to be able to help me — that is the ultimate women supporting women. And that I think is what makes it all so fun,” Statter said at the time.
