This podcast episode interviews Karina Moises, co-founder and CEO of Beautology Lab, about her company's growth strategies in 2024. The discussion covers successful strategic partnerships (Equinox, Ipsy, FabFitFun), the importance of omnichannel distribution (including marketplaces and gifting platforms), and the challenges and benefits of bootstrapping a brand. Moises reveals that approximately 50% of Beautology Lab's revenue comes from wholesale partnerships and the other 50% from DTC, with Meta accounting for 70-80% of customer acquisition. She advises aspiring entrepreneurs to consider raising capital early to accelerate growth, while acknowledging the benefits of a scrappy, bootstrapped approach to learning and resourcefulness. The interview concludes with Moises outlining her plans for 2025, which include expanding into new channels and international markets.
