Kendra Bracken-Ferguson, a three-time entrepreneur and Halle Berry’s business partner, secured $100 million in soft capital from JPMorgan Chase, Shopify and more to drive profitable futures for Black-owned beauty brands.
Kendra Bracken-Ferguson is unveiling a new Founders Studio to help Black-owned beauty brands scale sustainably.endra Bracken-Ferguson has founded three companies, developed digital strategy for Ralph Lauren and partnered with Halle Berry on the star’s health and wellness company, Re-Spin. Across this work, she’s learned one thing: “I am someone who likes to partner to build brands, help people express their vision, and really bring that to life,” she says.
The BrainTrust Founders Studio will connect entrepreneurs with resources according to the stage of their company: if pre-seed or pre-revenue, a founder will be directed to education modules walking them through how to make a business plan, how to secure a manufacturing facility, and how to implement a direct-to-consumer strategy.
In short, the Founders Studio offers advice and business connections that would have helped her as a younger founder—resources that are all too often not accessible for Black and brown entrepreneurs. Napier is one of the 25 founders in the Studio’s first class of entrepreneurs, and is using its resources to start a new entrepreneurial venture. Other founders in the program include Brown Girl Jane cofounder Tai Beauchamp, CurlMix CEO and cofounder Kim Lewis, and Charbon Plus founder and CEO Lucien Aymerick Eloundou.
