Believing in your business and product is almost like manifesting it to be successful, and that worked out quite well for model-turned-entrepreneur Winnie Harlow, who raised over 6.5 million in funds, to launch a beauty brand this year.
Cay Skin, although exclusively sold at Sephora today, took years in the making before it even hit the shelves. Harlow is one of very few Black women to have raised over 1 million in venture capital funding for it. How did she do it? She got a stellar team together and they built a beauty line she’s passionate about. From formulating the products to building the brand identity, Harlow and CEO Cass Devor share the steps they took to get investors to notice Cay Skin. Watch them speak below from our LA Conference.
