EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Divi is a scalp and hair health company started in late 2021. The mission was born out of founder Dani Austin’s own personal hair journey as she struggled to find brands and products that specifically addressed the root of hair loss and hair thinning. With several factors affecting each person’s hair health, Divi strives to pioneer what it means to have a healthy “scalp health routine”. Divi has grown extremely quickly, resonating in the marketplace with men and women at a variety of different stages in their hair journey. 2024 is an important growth year for the company with big ideas on the horizon and we are looking to grow our team to help!
