Australia's First BIPOC, Female-Led Founders Podcast. Est 2017.



Hello fellow founder,



Welcome to PEERS - a podcast by millennial founders for millennial founders. Join me, BIPOC female founder & Forbes 30 Under 30 Lister Michelle Akhidenor, for soul-enriching conversations with peers.



Each week, I sit down with a fellow founder or industry ally and deep dive into their entrepreneurial journey. I ask questions like: Where did they grow up? How has their upbringing impacted the choices they've made in their career to-date? How did they end up becoming a founder? How have they navigated through the inevitable challenges in business?



These conversations are honest, vulnerable and above all, human. My mission with this show is simple: to amplify diverse stories and voices; sharing conversations that matter to help fellow founders, my peers, feel less alone on their own journey.



Thank you for joining me, peers. Let's dive in!

#252. Raising $2 Million in Funding and Transforming the Beauty Industry with BIPOC Co-Founder of Hue & Forbes 30 Under 30 Lister, Janvi Shah

When it comes to challenges, most people would rather avoid them. But for a savvy few, such as this week’s guest, a challenge is a problem to be solved, and even an opportunity to transform something for the better. Underrepresentation in the beauty industry is a challenge Janvi Shah is taking head-on, and she’s not stopping until every face has its rightful place in the spotlight. 


In this episode of PEERS, we’re joined by Janvi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder of Hue to talk about the pressure to succeed as a child of immigrants, finding your unique selling point, and why giving your dream a shot is always worth the risk.


About Janvi: 

Janvi Shah is the Co-Founder and CEO of Hue, a technology company that helps beauty and fashion brands integrate UGC into their e-commerce sites to help shoppers feel represented. Last year, Hue was featured in the ELLE Future of Beauty Awards and has raised over $2 million in venture capital funding from NFX, Underscore VC and more. 

 

In 2023, Janvi was featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Retail & E-Commerce list.
