Happy Friday and welcome to Friday Finds! From a rising crypto star to a small town innkeeper, here are *The Hustle*’s picks for inspiring and insightful entrepreneurial reads. 

1. The Kardashian effect is alive and well. Kim Kardashian West’s shapewear brand, Skims, recently [raised $240 million at a $3.2 billion valuation](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-01-27/kim-kardashian-s-skim-underwear-brand-doubles-valuation-to-3-2-billion), doubling its $1.6 billion valuation from last April. The reality TV magnate will remain its biggest individual shareholder. 

2. Virtual work has turned seasonal vacation towns into year-round destinations. To [keep up with demand](https://www.inc.com/brit-morse/hospitality-industry-season-hiring-pandemic-great-recession.html) amid the Great Resignation, hospitality businesses are adopting more technology, including job postings in marketing campaigns, and turning temporary gigs into full-time positions.

3. Katie Haun made her name betting on crypto heavyweights like Coinbase at famed VC firm Andreessen Horowitz. Now she’s [striking out on her own](https://fortune.com/longform/katie-haun-crypto-fund/) -- with her eyes on raising the biggest ever crypto fund by a solo female VC. 

4. MBA student Wilglory Tanjong just wanted to [make handbags for fun](https://www.blackenterprise.com/wilglory-tanjongs-luxury-handbags-have-made-a-millionaire-while-she-completes-her-mba/); in two years, her colorful, hand-stitched purses have grossed $700,000 and is on pace to make $5 million next year.

5. Need to launch a new product? Here are the [best social media channels](https://www.nlopchantamang.com/marketing/social-media-channel-time?__hstc=45788219.a2f1d1683a831a567fc1d11008d3e96e.1643376056912.1643376056912.1643376056912.1&__hssc=45788219.1.1643376056913&__hsfp=2956229566&_ga=2.246362701.899434623.1643376056-570599477.1643376056) for marketing in 2022, according to company and consumer data.
