PR Newswire
PHOENIX, June 10, 2025
PHOENIX, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Colossal, the nation's leading professional fundraiser, is proud to announce that Madiha Chan, founder and CEO of JustB, has been named the 2025 Entrepreneur of Impact. As thousands of participants vied for the coveted title, Chan emerged as a standout for her vision, values, and innovative approach to inclusive beauty. The competition successfully raised $2,777,012 to benefit GENYOUth, a national nonprofit dedicated to supporting the health and wellness of America's schoolchildren.
A recognized tech leader and mission-driven founder, Chan is the force behind JustB—a beauty startup that's reimagining cosmetics for women of all skin tones. Her brand, which champions multipurpose, eco-friendly products, is breaking barriers in an industry that too often overlooks women with deeper skin tones.
"I built JustB because I was tired of seeing women who look like me treated as an afterthought," she said. "This win isn't just mine—it belongs to every entrepreneur creating from a place of passion, purpose, and persistence."
As the 2025 Entrepreneur of Impact, Chan will receive a $25,000 cash prize and a one-on-one mentorship session with Shark Tank's Daymond John. She will also appear in an advertorial in Forbes, the leading voice in global entrepreneurship.
"Ms. Chan is a shining example of how innovation and impact go hand in hand," said Mary Hagen, CEO of Colossal. "She's redefining what success looks like, not just in beauty, but in business. We're thrilled to spotlight her story and help fuel her future."
