BOTOX® Cosmetic's 2025 Confidence Project Participants Announced

In an inspiring move to empower women entrepreneurs, BOTOX® Cosmetic, a prominent name under Allergan Aesthetics, has announced the selection of this year's participants in its Confidence Project. Launched to help close the confidence gap that many female business owners face, this initiative provides a framework for growth and networking among selected entrepreneurs.

The Goal of The Confidence Project

The Confidence Project is designed to facilitate the growth of women-led businesses across various sectors. By offering coaching, mentorship, and financial resources, BOTOX® Cosmetic aims to create an environment conducive to business success. The project concentrates on equipping female entrepreneurs with the tools and confidence necessary to thrive in competitive markets.

Meet the 2025 Entrepreneurs

A diverse group of entrepreneurs will engage in the project, selected from a large pool of candidates representing various industries and backgrounds. These women not only bring innovative business ideas to the table but also a shared commitment to building a supportive community. Earlier this month, they participated in a Virtual Community Summit which focused on business development and financial coaching—activities designed to prepare them for the upcoming challenges.

The Boostcamp Experience

Following the summit, participants will embark on a 12-week intensive Boostcamp powered by Hello Alice—a platform dedicated to helping businesses launch and grow. The Boostcamp offers an array of practical tools, mentorship opportunities, and educational resources tailored to the unique needs of each participant.

Nicole Katz, Vice President for Customer Engagement and Corporate Affairs at Allergan Aesthetics, voiced her pride in the new cohort. "We are proud to welcome this group of entrepreneurs. At BOTOX® Cosmetic, we understand the significance of preparation and confidence in seizing opportunities. Our commitment is to support women entrepreneurs in forging new paths and achieving their business aspirations," said Katz.

Pitch Lab and Grant Opportunities

As part of their journey, select entrepreneurs will have the chance to participate in a Pitch Lab where they can present their business concepts to a committee responsible for selecting grant recipients. In total, 20 businesses will be awarded a grant of $20,000 from BOTOX® Cosmetic, assisting them in reaching their business goals. The selection committee will include Allergan Aesthetics executives and several prominent figures in the aesthetics industry, such as Shawna Chrisman, the founder of Destination Aesthetics Medical Spa™, and Nicci Levy, CEO of ALCHEMY 43.

Shawna Chrisman emphasized the importance of community in entrepreneurship. “Participating in The Confidence Project has been exalting. These entrepreneurs are not just expanding their own businesses; they are transforming industries and uplifting their communities,” she stated.

Looking Forward

The 20 grant winners will be announced in October 2025, spotlighting the incredible potential of these women-led businesses. As BOTOX® Cosmetic sets its eyes on societal impact, the journey of these entrepreneurs will be followed closely on social media, allowing the public an inside look at their growth and achievements.
