“Being an entrepreneur means owning your power as an entrepreneur. You don’t have to be ashamed, you don’t have to hold back.”
In this episode of Entreprenista, we sat down with Janvi Shah, the co-founder and CEO of Hue, an e-commerce technology company transforming the online beauty shopping experience. Hue has helped shoppers find the best products for their unique skin tones, types, hair colors, and preferences based on recommendations from people that look like them.
