MUSE
Ulta Beauty recognizes the importance of magnifying, uplifting, supporting and empowering the influence that Black voices bring to the beauty industry. That’s why we are honored to elevate these voices with our MUSE platform.
MUSE Accelerator
The MUSE Accelerator helps eight early-stage BIPOC beauty brands continue their growth towards retail readiness and success.
Funding
We'll provide $50,000 in financial support to all participating brands. Plus, together with Fifteen Percent Pledge, we'll select one 2024 cohort participant to receive an additional $10,000 in financial support.
Curriculum & Mentorship
Each cohort participant is eligible for a 10-week curriculum of training to accelerate growth and impact of their business. We'll pair participants with experienced beauty brand advisors and Ulta Beauty merchandising partners to advise along the way.
MUSE 100
