Adding another string to their (ever so chic) bow, power sisters Huda and Mona Kattan are confirmed to host the first-ever VidCon Abu Dhabi and, more specifically, the The Huda Beauty Pitch Fest powered by HB Investments, a mentorship program that will award an aspiring founder a $6,000 (Dhs22,000) prize to get their business off the ground.
“I can’t wait to be at VidCon Abu Dhabi and to meet future entrepreneurs who wish to create their own path like I did in 2013 when my sisters and I launched our company, which now encompasses a portfolio of beauty brands”, said Huda Kattan, founder and CEO of Huda Beauty. “It’s an honour to have the opportunity to share what I’ve learned as a CEO and mentor the next generation of entrepreneurs.”
“It is a pleasure for us to be part of VidCon Abu Dhabi to discuss the future of this industry and how our business has evolved and expanded from a line of faux eyelashes to multiple global brands,” affirmed Mona Kattan, global president of Huda Beauty. “We can’t wait to hear ideas for the pitch fest and to encourage attendees to follow their passions and make their dreams come true!”
The former Cosmo cover stars will be at VidCon Abu Dhabi on Saturday 28 March, where they will be hosting talks, competitions and meet-and-greets.
