“I am excited to join the KS WELI FoundHER program since I need guidance to help launch my business that I’ve been building for the past year. I’ve always wanted to be my own boss and this program will take me one step closer to achieving my dream of owning a successful business. I’m excited to learn from other entrepreneurs and gain valuable mentorship early in my professional career.”
Sejal Patel, Class of 2027
About the FoundHER(s)
The entrepreneurial spirit has always been part of me. I’ve had a business idea book since I was 10 and have been adding to it ever since. I have watched every episode of Shark Tank and my dream would be to one day be standing on that carpet pitching. I love creating new ideas and this seemed like the career path I’d be most excited about!
About the Company
I came up with this idea in high school when all of my friends would talk about all of the skincare that they buy but it never works. I also am overwhelmed when I walk into makeup stores and knew that there had to be a better solution to this. My dad is a dermatologist and disapproves of many products in stores like Sephora and only allows me to buy certain ideas that are proven. That is how Thalia was born.
