Summary: Oh, how we'd kill to be business savvy and sharp as a tack. Thanks a lot, genetics. Sure, many of us have had that 3am chat with our buddies about a killer business idea that's pure fire, only to never discuss it again out of fear of failure and a lack of actual know-how. While the idea of starting an entire company from the ground up sounds daunting to us regular folk, Glamazon founders Lauren Silvers and Lisa Maree have dived in head first, both pursuing separate ventures before finding each other to create Glamazon as a powerhouse duo. Described as a "real-time platform for at-home beauty appointments", it's much easier to compare Glamazon to the likes of Uber in terms of its setup and user interface. Chatting to the Founders University Podcast, Lisa breaks down Glamazon in layman's terms. "Our technology's pretty similar in that a customer can select the level of stylist that they're after; Glam X or Glam Black, junior or senior, and then that booking request will go out to a number of stylists that match that request, and the first one to hit accept wins the job." The pair has since discovered the beauty in having a business partner, as Lauren found her experience up until the inception of Glamazon quite isolating at times. "I always wished I had one because it's a lonely journey and it's difficult and you go through this rollercoaster...the highs are really high and no one can relate, and the lows are so low and no one can relate." For the entire breakdown, have a listen. Your rich self in 10 years will be kissing your shoes.
