The 31-year-old is a co-owner of the eSports organization 100 Thieves. Aside from the eSports group, Hofstetter had attempted to launch a skincare line called RFLCT. But this entrepreneurial endeavor did not go as expected, as it garnered criticism even before making its way into the stores.

Valkyrae has moved on from the RFLCT controversy, having learned a great deal from its failure. She made a “life-changing call” on a recent livestream, which was the announcement of her new business venture.
