Replay: Built to Last: How Gregg Renfrew Built a Billion-Dollar Brand, Sold It, and Started Over with Stronger Systems [Sponsored By SalesForce]

At Female Founder Collective’s The 10th House, we focus on helping founders understand what actually drives growth in today’s landscape—not just what used to work.

Gregg Renfrew built Beautycounter into a billion-dollar acquisition at a time when the entire industry thought clean beauty was a niche. Then she watched what happened when the wrong systems, the wrong operators, and too much outside capital took over the thing she built. Then she bought it back and started over.​

She has now launched Counter, a DTC clean beauty brand for women 35 and older, and Beecee, a community-first brand for women ages 14 to 30, which has already attracted more than 10,000 community members across all 50 states before a single product has hit the market.​

She is running two brands, for two completely different audiences, on two completely different timelines, at the same time.​

In this session, Gregg joins Female Founder Collective's Co-Founder, Rebecca Minkoff, to discuss the hires that change the shape of a business (and why the smartest one might not be someone on your payroll), the systems she is building before she needs them, and what she knows now about building a tech stack — including Salesforce — that moves with you instead of against you.
