“I created Makers Mindset to give founders the real-world guidance I wish I’d had in the early days.”
Nancy Twine, Founder of Makers Mindset
Nancy Twine left her career as a VP at Goldman Sachs to follow her passion for clean beauty. Inspired by the natural hair products her mom created, she launched Briogeo in 2013 and grew it from a small, bootstrapped startup into a globally celebrated brand. At 29, she became the youngest Black woman to launch a product line at Sephora and one of the few beauty founders to raise over $20M in private equity funding. Less than 10 years after she launched, Nancy sold Briogeo to Wella Company for nine-figures.
Nancy founded Makers Mindset to inspire and guide the next generation of entrepreneurs. She passionately believes that sustainable success isn’t just about strategy and drive. Your mindset—your resilience, focus, and optimism—are just as important. Wellness, personal finance, work, travel, and relationships also matter for your mindset, and they’re often interconnected. At Makers Mindset, you’ll find support for the whole journey.
What the community is saying
Thanks to Nancy's support, we were able to decrease our costs by 40%, reduce operational workload by 3.5 hours per week and understand our funding possibilities.

One of the most powerful things Nancy said that stuck with me - while simple - has become a potent mantra that I repeat whenever the voice of doubt rears it's head - "why not me?"
