Adelle Archer started with graduating valedictorian of her class to then becoming a CEO and co-founded of Eterneva, which is an innovative company that honors lives of “remarkable people and pets by turning their cremated ashes into diamonds.’ In 2019, she was named Consumer Startup of the Year by Stevie Awards, featured on Shark Tank (which she got an investment from Mark Cuban) and was featured on both INC and Forbes coveted ’30 Under 30′ lists. She got the idea of her company after the loss of her close friend and felt that there weren’t a lot of good memorial options when you lose someone you care about deeply. The goal of her company is to bring our entire supply chain in house so that folks can come in and see every single step in the process in person in Texas. Her and her company rely on investors to help us raise the capital due to diamond growth machines not being cheap. She spreads the word about her company due to buyers telling others, Archer says that her costumers on average tell 20 people about what they are about.
Archer first started her company by hiring well and making sure that everyone agreed with their mission which was to remove the stigma around grief in the U.S. A habit of hers that makes her more productive as an entrepreneur is having a daily gratitude journal that she uses every morning that she says really helps her mindset up right for the day. Beyond that, she believes strongly in degrading and elevating.
I am very inspired after reading about Adelle Archer’s company and her story. She inspires me to go after what I want and to make a difference in the world. She started off as a young high school senior who was grieving her friend to then being a co founder of a company who spreads light to grieving and talking about loved ones who have passed by turning loved ones ashes into amazing jewelry. Her idea is so great because she is impacting others lives on a day to day basis in a life changing way.

Adelle Archer – Co-Founder of Eterneva (ideamensch.com)
It’s fascinating to read stories like these and to see that successful ideas really can come from anywhere! A lot of the entrepreneurs that I’ve been reading about have been similar to Adelle in that their ideas came from a small moment in their personal lives where they either saw a value that they wanted to share with others, or saw a personal need that others might also have and need a solution for.
Super inspiring as she was just in high school when she first started to show her entrepreneurial thinking, especially stemming from such a tragedy. It’s beautiful to see people create solutions to problems that stem from hurt and loss, creating something beautiful for others to remember their friends or loves ones by. Also a great reminder for other people creating a business, it all starts with a support system, and hiring certain people can really make or break you!
