We’re coming to LA! 🎉
LA Business Besties: Female Founder World is heading west on Thursday, 5 September in partnership with VistaPrint! Tickets just dropped for the one-day experience where you can level up on entrepreneurship, and content and community marketing from the founders who are leading the way. PLUS meet your future Business Besties in a stunning Beverly Hills garden terrace.
This is part conference, part camp, part garden party.
Panelists include Lindsey Carter (SET Active), Deepica Mutyala (LiveTinted), Natalie Holloway (Bala), Kristine Locker (WantLocker) and more wildly inspiring speakers. I know, what a line up.
We’ll have roaming content creators to help you create (CPG brands, bring your product to shoot!), a super aesthetic headshot studio, a UGC photo booth, exclusive Female Founder World merch only available at this event, a masterclass on how to bring your brand to life with merch, creative meditation with To Be Magnetic, hundreds of your future Business Besties, and the ✨vibes✨ Female Founder World is famous for.
We’ve never held an event that didn’t sell out: you know what to do.
ULTA BEAUTY: After 24 years in the market, Ulta Beauty relaunched the Ulta Beauty Collection with a new Gen Z focus. The line will have over 700 products.
RETAIL: Yikes. Brands stocked at Saks Fifth Avenue say the retailer is way behind on payments to vendors. The founder of shower head biz Jolie and sneaker brand Greats says he's owed over $15,000 from an order placed last year.
SUMMER FRIDAYS: Summer Fridays received investment from TSG Consumer Partners, the private equity company that backs brands like e.l.f., nuun, Revolve, and Smashbox.
OLYMPIC COLLABS: It seems like every fashion brand is collaborating for the Olympics. Everyone from J. Crew, Skims, Gap, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Gucci are diving into the hype of Paris 2024. Beauty’s in on it too: Glossier is sponsoring Team USA Basketball and Fenty is doing makeup looks for all of the Olympic volunteers.
CELEBS: Blake Lively launched a beauty brand, Blake Brown. The line of shampoo, conditioner and masks landed at Target first.
MARKETING MOVES WE LOVED:
Bumble is doing a popup cafe in Paris - perfect for a coffee date.
Madhappy is working on a collab with Gap. Instant add to cart.
Loveshack Fancy released a limited-edition collab with Stanley.
We’re giving away $15,000
Female Founder World connects a rising generation of small business owners with the people and resources you need to build your dreams. Now, thanks to our partners at VistaPrint, we are offering a one-time $15,000 cash grant to one business in our ecosystem to help fuel your growth PLUS marketing support from VistaPrint.
