The Skincare Enthusiast: How To Come Up With A $19M Idea In A Week - Ahana Banerjee

Building a business is not always about finding an external gap in the market. Ahana Banerjee looked inward to what mattered to her to come up with a business idea while at university.

After experiencing severe acne through her teenage years, Ahana deleted her Instagram account and was determined to develop a platform for people to share their experiences with acne without being judged.

She developed Clear, a first-of-its-kind app that allows you to track your skincare routine and connect with other users who might be experiencing similar issues. Within two years, it was valued at $19 million.

In this episode, Ahana and Alberto discuss the unobvious benefits of having no experience in business, managing rapid growth, and driving innovation out of personal need.
