When Luxury Brand Partners founder and CEO Tev Finger pitched his idea to Estée Lauder Companies -- an in-house brand incubator that he would run after the company bought his brand Bumble &amp; Bumble -- the company almost went for it."I give a lot of credit. It's hard for a company that buys brands that are profitable to even contemplate taking a risk on incubators," Finger said on the Glossy Beauty Podcast. "It ended up not happening."That was around 2006, Finger recalled. But all these years later, he still sees Luxury Brand Partners, which he founded in 2012, as an incubator for beauty conglomerates in everything but name."I'm actually an arm of them," Finger said. "We kind of line it up for them to make an easy acquisition. We know the things they're looking for." Since the Bumble &amp; Bumble acquisition, Finger has sold Becca to ELC, Pulp Riot to L'Oréal and Oribe to Kao Corporation. Other brands in the LBP portfolio include R+Co, Patrick Starrr's One/Size and Camila Coelho's Elaluz -- the latter two launched during the pandemic.Which of the giant beauty companies ends up buying the small companies he sets up is beside the point, as long as one of them does. Not that it's easy."It has to be profitable, and it has to be well executed. And you have to have trademarks around the world and licenses -- so when they buy it it's seamless," Finger said. "If you can erase the roadblocks and put it to them on a platter, you're going to get a lot of buyers."

Luxury Brand Partners' Tev Finger on knowing and creating what beauty conglomerates want before they do

Tev Finger helped develop the Bumble &amp; Bumble hair product line which he sold to Estee Lauder.  He then purchased and developed the Becca Cosmetics line which he also sold to Estee Lauder.  He co-founded the Oribe hair product line which he sold to the Kao Corporation.  And he was the lead investor in my brand Pulp Riot which we sold to L’Oreal.    Together, the companies sold for close to a billion dollars.Be a fly on the wall and listen in on an interesting and entertaining discussion as I uncover the reasons for his success that you can use to help you get to the next level.  I'll also dig deep to find out why he continues to build companies rather than retire on a tropical island.  In this episode, Tev and I get very transparent, talking about topics that most entrepreneurs don't talk about publicly, and we candidly give a glimpse into a side of the beauty industry most people don't ever get a chance to witness.As always, I'm joined by my talented team; co-host Stevie Theoharis, and producer Jack Oles.Join our mailing list at www.davidthurstonofficial.com

#2: Tev Finger - Becoming a ninja entrepreneur

My man Tev is an absolute beast. He's a very successful entrepreneur in the beauty industry and he was gracious enough to have me speak at his event as well as be on his show. This interview was done first thing in the morning so there's definitely a particular kind of energy here so I suggest you take a listen. From one businessman to another, this was a fun one. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/garyvee/message
