We are deeply grateful for your unwavering support and belief throughout our journey. Your confidence in us has been instrumental as we've worked towards our mission of making melanated skin and stories a priority and not an afterthought. Together, we've come a long way, and we look forward to achieving even greater milestones in the future. Thank you for being a part of our story and for your continuous support!
We are thrilled to announce that Chui Ventures has invested in Uncover, a community-driven African skincare brand that believes no woman should lose confidence in her skin! Uncover stands out in the competitive skincare market, which ranges from indigenous low-cost brands to multinational luxury products. Present in both Nigeria and Kenya, Uncover navigates these similar skincare markets by focusing on facial skincare products and distinguishing itself through quality and community engagement. We invested in Uncover because of their deep involvement in the formulation process, sourcing African botanical ingredients, and conducting tests on African skin tones to tailor their products effectively. Additionally, their products are crafted by world-class Korean manufacturers with global standards. Our journey with Uncover began in 2022 when we had our first call with the founders. We became loyal customers of their products, especially the famous Aloe Invisible Sunscreen and Baobab Glow C Serum. We are now excited to invest in the brand, co-founded by Sneha Mehta, CFA, and Jade Oyateru, MBA, as it enters its new phase of growth! Join us in celebrating this exciting journey with Uncover! https://lnkd.in/dquhEk6u #Uncover #AfricanInnovation #VentureCapital

"The Cost of Mediocrity" challenges the notion that in tough times the ‘safe’ option is best. Sometimes the pressure to deliver results quickly ends up as uniform mediocrity, with global ideas being applied locally, missing the nuance of market context. On this continent, being comfortable with codes that are 'handed down' is one of the biggest risks a brand can take. Kenyan-born skincare brand Uncover, is a fantastic example of breaking the codified norms of the category to bring solutions made for the beautiful African skin. They dared to challenge the incumbent thinking that skincare has to be complicated, clinical, impersonal and ‘western’ in order to be good. From their visual language, product formulation and community-focused engagement style - they’re on a mission to demystify all things skincare, making it healthy, easy, and empowering to care for African skin. - Nomonde Keswa, Strategy Director at Delta Victor Bravo (eatbigfish is brought to you in Africa by Delta Victor Bravo).
Is the safe option really that safe? Strategy Directors Anne Marie Armstrong and Susie Milburn explore how the Challenger mindset helps businesses break free of costly mediocre in our new report: https://lnkd.in/e8sQW_Ax #challengermindset #challengerbrand #thechallengerproject
