Allergan Aesthetics, a division of AbbVie, has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting women entrepreneurs through its BOTOX Cosmetic initiative named "The Confidence Project: Empowering Women Entrepreneurs." The initiative aims to assist 250 entrepreneurs by providing them with new resources and opportunities, culminating in the awarding of 20 grants, each worth $20,000, to support their business objectives.
Nicole Katz, Vice President of Customer Engagement and Corporate Affairs at Allergan Aesthetics, stated, "BOTOX Cosmetic is committed to being a catalyst for confidence, whether that be by pursuing education, aesthetic treatment, or your entrepreneurial goals. Through The Confidence Project, we pledge to continue to uplift founders who've invested so much in their businesses. We know when women have access to resources and capital, there's no limit to what they can achieve."
All entrepreneurs interested in participating in this year's program are encouraged to apply by May 9, 2025. Once accepted, participants will join the "Boostcamp" program offered through a partnership with Hello Alice, an online platform dedicated to business growth. The intensive program will provide skill-building, mentorship, and networking opportunities. Elizabeth Gore, Co-Founder and President of Hello Alice, remarked, "Our mission at Hello Alice is to help entrepreneurs access the funding, mentorship, and resources they need to succeed. BOTOX Cosmetic's The Confidence Project provides a powerful opportunity for women entrepreneurs to scale their businesses and create lasting change."
By the end of the program, participants will have the opportunity to pitch their businesses to a panel that includes aesthetic entrepreneurs and key business leaders. The 250 successful applicants for the Boostcamp will be announced in July, with the 20 grant recipients to be revealed in October 2025.
