EVENT DETAILS |
In recent years, we've seen large beauty & fashion brands like Este Lauder, L'Oral, & Sephora launch incubation programs where they invest in up-and-coming brands & entrepreneurs.
These founders get access to capital & amazing resources from these larger companies, helping them scale faster. And the companies get to fund new ideas that help them stay competitive in a very crowded market.
If you're building a new brand, getting noticed by one of these companies & joining their incubation programs could really help turn your brand into a global one fast.
On May 12th, join us as we chat with Tehmina Haider, VP & Head at Harry's Labs & Lee Lenox, General Manager for Headquarters, about brand incubation & what it takes to build & launch a new beauty brand.

In this talk, we're excited to dive into:
Incubating businesses
Brand building & launching a new product during a pandemic
Tips for entrepreneurs on how to get noticed by Harry's
