Both Sides of the Deal: A Fireside with Olive & June and Helen of Troy

What does it actually take to build a consumer brand from scratch, sell it for $240M, and then keep running it? And what does the acquirer see that makes them write that check? Join Sarah Gibson Tuttle (Founder/CEO, Olive & June) and G. Scott Uzzell (CEO, Helen of Troy) for a candid conversation on the real inflection points of entrepreneurship—from leaving a known career to finding product‑market fit, scaling a team, and navigating acquisition. Hear how to build a brand that endures, what strategic buyers look for in founder-led businesses, and what really changes once the deal is done. A must‑attend discussion for anyone building, investing in, or aspiring to work on modern consumer brands. This is a rare chance to hear both sides of the deal from the founder who built it and the CEO who bought it. Whether you're building, investing, or aspiring to work on modern consumer brands. First 60 to register AND attend will get $50 off to their Olive and June purchases. 35 people will be randomly selected to get $60 off a Hydro Flask purchase.
