Aveeno has announced the highly anticipated return of its accelerate program, now titled The Startup Collective by Aveeno, for the third time. This groundbreaking initiative is specifically designed to empower Black female-identifying entrepreneurs in the beauty industry. The application process is now live, providing aspiring entrepreneurs with the opportunity to participate in this transformative program.
The Startup Collective by Aveeno offers a remarkable opportunity for Black female-identifying entrepreneurs to win grants of $100,000 and $50,000. This financial support, combined with access to Aveeno’s experts in package design, marketing, and accounting, ensures invaluable guidance and mentorship for the selected businesses.
Moreover, this program aligns with Aveeno’s commitment to skin health equity, as demonstrated through their Aveeno #SkinVisibility program. By addressing the specific needs of Black consumers and developing innovative products and services, Aveeno aims to contribute to closing the gap in healthcare disparities.
