How I Built this with Emily Weiss of Glossier
In 2010, while working as a fashion assistant at Vogue, Emily Weiss started a beauty blog called Into The Gloss.

Within a few years, Emily realized her readers were hungry for a new beauty brand, one that listened to them directly, and understood their lives. Without any prior business experience, she won over investors and found the perfect chemist to create Glossier, a line of beauty and skincare products with a focus on simplicity. Today, just four years after launch, Glossier is valued at an estimated $400 million.
