“What I love about the Dealmaker Summit is it feels like a really curated and intimate group of people that bring together the best of the beauty industry, the best of the investor community, and the best of the vendor and supplier world. I think it's a unique cross section of the entire beauty ecosystem.”
— CRISTINA NUÑEZ Co-Founder & Partner, True Beauty Ventures
“it's particularly interesting for brands to be here to understand the language around all the innovation and disruption that's coming to this industry. beauty is something that is constantly evolving at a velocity that's ever increasing, So to be able to refocus on that over the incredible program that Beauty Independent has put together during the Dealmaker Summit is, I think, really valuable for all the different stakeholders.”
— PRESCA AHN Investment Director, BOLD/L'Oréal
“The dealmaker summit is a unique opportunity for dealmakers and folks specifically involved in conducting deals within the beauty space to come together, trade ideas, learn from one another. it’s a novel idea because candidly, there aren't really many other places in other venues specifically focused on dealmaking. ”
— KEVIN KIM Director, Financo Raymond James
“It's important to attend as a brand because there is nothing like this event in the industry today. there's no event where you as a brand leader can interact with investment bankers, private equity, Series A, all the way through to family funds that are looking to support brands.”
