The new program wants to help brand founders navigate business during the coronavirus.
Cosmetic Executive Women, CEW, has a new program aimed specifically at helping brand founders navigate business during the coronavirus pandemic.
The group aims to bridge the gaps between founders and resources with its new #Fight4FemaleFounders initiative, which is geared toward supporting founders and small businesses with CEW’s network and business know-how. The resources, which will live on Fight4FemaleFounders.org, include information on grant and loan applications, a mentorship platform connecting entrepreneurs with industry veterans, and weekly webinars, dubbed CEW Founder Fridays.
While CEW’s in-person events have all been postponed, the group is seeking to make up for that networking with its mentorship platform. Brand founders can either be connected with business advisers or via a directory of over 40 experts, ranging from authorities in the legal sphere, communications or supply chain. CEW has also decreased membership costs for the months April through December for those seeking out industry support, and lowered ticket prices for digital events.
However, according to Carlotta Jacobson, president of CEW, despite efforts to give back, the current climate does have some drawbacks for the organization. “Our events generally give us the revenue to operate, but we did have reserves and we decided we would open up the information we had that is just generally for members,” said Jacobson. Jacobson also said they are orchestrating seven webinars per month, as opposed to the initially slated seven per year.
Founders have been a recent focus for CEW, who also had their inaugural Female Founder Awards two years ago. As for how they are able to continue their ongoing efforts, Jacobson credits the network CEW is touting as its greatest asset. “We’re very fortunate to be a part of a very generous industry,” Jacobson said. “We couldn’t do this without the beauty industry and the people in it.
