Vegancuts, the curated vegan lifestyle essentials box, seeks to help raise Black voices by working with leaders and entrepreneurs to strengthen the resources, advice, and access available through their platforms.
To provide real, long-term support for direct impact to Black-owned businesses, Vegancuts launches their Spotlight Program – a system of support that utilizes its services to assist vegan Black-owned businesses.
Program Details:
- Overview: 5 up-and-coming Black-owned snack/beverage or beauty vegan brands will join a cohort, and each will be provided a new path for sales, marketing, and coaching through Vegancuts and its specialist advisors.
- What each Spotlight brand will receive:
- A product featured in a new Spotlight section on the Vegancuts Marketplace.
- Relevant guidance and coaching on business challenges being faced.
- A cohort of other Black emerging entrepreneurs to aid in peer-to-peer support.
- National Marketing through Vegancuts channels.
- No Charge: The purpose of the program is to provide genuine support in the development of Black-owned brands. This means Spotlight brands will pay Vegancuts 0% commission and no fees, and Vegancuts will pay for all credit card processing fees with every purchase. This way, a Spotlight brand will keep 100% of the revenue from every sale.
- Timeframe: This program will launch on August 5th with the first cohort lasting 4 months. After this, another cohort of brands will be brought through the program.
- All Vegan Companies: At Vegancuts, every product we provide to customers is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. Any brands featured in the Spotlight program will have the same requirements. As with all products featured through Vegancuts, a thorough verification of product ingredients will be completed before listing.
- Other Communities Represented in the Spotlight Program: The first cohort will be for Black-owned businesses. Vegancuts hopes to extend the program with future cohorts.
