Nikki was actually a Pollenizer startup once upon a time...

I have to say I'm extremely happy for Nikki - well done!

....but.......totally frustrated and in fact mad as hell at the
comment too. (in fact a couple of them)

Why is it that a young, successful founder gets slated? Because she's
a girl. And people instantly underestimate her capabilities. They
didn't even check what 99dresses was I'm sure as it's a hell of a lot
more than selling clothes online. Utterly infuriating.
