By marrying content, community and commerce, Mirra empowers millennial women with the tools they need to navigate the unregulated, $14 billion skincare industry. After releasing a weekly skincare newsletter that grew to 200,000+ subscribers without ad spend, we used that momentum to launch Mirra Labs in stealth: a beauty/wellness incubator where we created and tested a number of projects with our community: science-backed topical skincare products, indigestible supplements combining eastern and western science, beauty creator platform, and an allergy telehealth co. Mirra has raised $2.2MM from institutional investors including Pear VC, Sweet Capital and Global Founders Capital.
