Raven Indigenous Capital Partners Announces Investment In Cheekbone Beauty Cosmetics

COAST SALISH TERRITORY (Vancouver, BC) September 30, 2019 …Coming off the heels of this past week’s CBC Dragon Den’s pitch, CEO, Jenn Harper of Cheekbone Beauty Cosmetics is glowing. Her cosmetic company didn’t receive what she wanted from the Dragon’s Den but instead received $50K from Desjardins and a major new investment.

Raven Indigenous Capital Partners announced an investment of $350,000 into Cheekbone Beauty Cosmetics; a leading Indigenous natural cosmetics company headquartered in St. Catharine’s, Ontario. Founded by Jenn Harper (an Anishinaabe marketing professional) in 2016, the company launched its branded product line using a sophisticated brand ambassador social media strategy, and now ships lipsticks, glosses, contour kits, and brow products across Canada, the United States, and Australia. Cheekbone also embeds a deep social mission in its business model, donating ten percent of profits to the First Nation’s Child and Family Caring Society. Prior to this investment, Jenn had bootstrapped Cheekbone Beauty, while raising a family and working full-time.

“There is nothing more empowering than someone believing in the vision of your brand as much as you do. It is life changing. I’m really looking forward to our new relationship with Raven Capital so that I can scale Cheekbone Beauty Cosmetics with confidence. This is a product with a mission!” said Jenn Harper, CEO of Cheekbone Beauty Cosmetics.
