KJ Miller and Amanda Johnson are Harvard Business School classmates-turned-business partners who created Mented Cosmetics with the belief that every woman should be able to find herself in the world of beauty, no matter her skin tone. Like many entrepreneurs, KJ and Amanda launched Mented right from their living room, bringing their original product line of vegan, non-toxic and cruelty-free nude lipsticks to market in January 2017. The co-founder pair has since raised more than $3 million in funding, making them the 15th and 16th African-American women ever to reach a seven-figure venture-capital deal. Tune into this episode of The Partner Ship to learn how KJ and Amanda have made it happen — and how their brand speaks to the real opportunity and demand for high-end, inclusive makeup.
