Description

Sarah Kugelman is an original beauty founder. She created gloss.com in 2000, and was the CEO/Founder of Skyn Iceland until she sold that brand in 2022. In this episode of Beauty from the Shelf, we discuss investors, and challenges from her time in the industry. Listen to hear tips from someone who has created successful brands a few times over.

“I recently had a conversation with an investor who had some very sage advice for me, and she said, ‘You made the best decision you possibly could under the circumstances at the time, and with the information that you had… I think you did a great job and learn from it. But don’t question your decisions.’”
