Co-Lab by 7 HOPES
Co-create. Co-own. Skinvest in your brand.
Program Overview
Co-Lab by 7 HOPES is a strategic co-investment and co-creation initiative designed for aspiring skincare and wellness entrepreneurs who have strong ideas but lack the capital, technical expertise, or infrastructure to bring them to life.
Unlike traditional service models, Co-Lab operates on shared success. We selectively partner with a limited number of visionary founders each year, offering them access to our full in-house capabilities in formulation, R&D, compliance, and small-batch manufacturing — in return for shared equity and revenue.
This is not a service. This is a partnership. This is skin in the game — together.
