Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter is a well-known figure in the streaming scene. She has over 3.82 million subscribers on YouTube, making her a ‘Streaming Queen’ on the platform. Aside from streaming, Valkyrae is also an entrepreneur.
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.

Valkyrae is working on a new product
A lot happened to the YouTube streaming star on her recent livestream when her computer died. Apart from this tragic news, the 31-year-old had some exciting news to share with her audience. “I had a life-changing call. I am doing something with my team and something about it has been confirmed,” said Valkyrae.
When discussing business initiatives, Rae couldn’t help but think of her unsuccessful ones. She claimed to suffer PTSD as a result of her failed skincare line. However, she assured her fans, “Rae learned a lot from the RFLCT situation. Don’t worry. Nothing like that’s happening ever again, that’s for sure. Holy sh*t.”
So now comes another crucial question: when will this project be completed? According to the YouTube sensation, it will be a “two-year thing.” Valkyrae has only stated that she is working on a new project that will take a long time to complete. However, the product remains a mystery.
What was the RFLCT controversy?
Valkyrae is recognized for avoiding most controversies. However, when she introduced her skincare product RFLCT, she got into one. According to the streamer, this gadget was designed for streamers and people who spend practically their whole day in front of a screen.
