AAPI-Founded Never Have I Ever Disrupts $120 Billion US Beauty Market

Published

on

United States, 18th Mar 2026, – As the U.S. beauty industry approaches a $120 billion valuation, one New York-based startup is proving that the future of the category isn’t just about what you put on your face-it’s about the art you wear on wearable art in general. Tonight, Never Have I Ever Shop, the first art-licensed beauty accessory brand, will make its primetime debut on ABC’s Shark Tank Season 17 at 10:00 p.m. ET.
 

Founded by Jess Wu and Susana Chen, Never Have I Ever is transforming the beauty aisle from a place of “sameness” into a cultural platform. By redefining beauty accessories-ranging from premium, reusable press-on nails to premium-crafted tooth gems-as wearable art, the brand is capturing a new wave of discovery-driven shopping driven by social commerce and a desire for culture-led identity.

The New Beauty Pillar: Wearable Art for Everyday Expression

Never Have I Ever’s mission is built on three core pillars that have turned the brand into one of the fastest-scaling disruptors in the space:

  • Self-Expression as Wearable Art: Every product is a canvas. Never Have I Ever is the first brand to pioneer an art-licensing model for beauty accessories, ensuring that creators are paid royalties for their work.
  • Culture-Driven Discovery: The brand bridges the gap between the art gallery and the vanity, featuring collections currently carried at world-renowned institutions like The MET and MoMA gift stores.
  • Affordable Experimentation: NHIE offers “last-mile glam”-professional, salon-quality results that allow for bold experimentation without the high price tag or the commitment of a salon visit. Shark Tank star Daymond John poses with Never Have I Ever founders holding their award.

An Artist-First Community

Central to Never Have I Ever’s success is its deep tie to the global artist community. The brand’s roster includes independent illustrators and viral creators who bring diverse narratives to the mass market. Key collaborations include:

  • Lorien Stern: Known for her bold, playful ceramic-inspired visuals.
  • TayBeepBoop: Bringing DIY maximalist energy to the accessory space.
  • Jade Roland: Merging fine art aesthetics with modern wearable trends.

“Our accessories are invitations to step out of your comfort zone,” says co-founder Susana Chen. “By partnering with cultural icons like The Met, Miffy, and Peanuts, we’re proving that beauty can be both a personal ritual and a pop-culture statement.”

Scalable Success & Explosive Retail Growth

The market has responded with overwhelming demand. Ahead of their Shark Tank appearance, Never Have I Ever has achieved:

  • Proven Demand: Over 120,000 units sold in 2025 alone.
  • Hyper-Growth: A staggering 4.7x year-over-year sales increase.
  • Massive Retail Footprint: Never Have I Ever is currently available in over 2,000 retail stores nationwide, including Urban Outfitters, Revolve, Anthropologie, PacSun, Zumiez, and Spencer’s.

As the founders enter the Tank tonight, they are not just looking for an investment; they are looking to scale a movement where beauty accessories serve as the ultimate vehicle for self-expression.

About Never Have I Ever: Never Have I Ever is an AAPI women-founded beauty brand based in New York City. By merging beauty with art and licensing, Never Have I Ever provides a platform for independent artists and global IPs to reach consumers through salon-quality, reusable beauty accessories.

NGTeco Reimagines Workforce Management for SMBs: Professional Biometrics Without the Enterprise Price Tag

Published

on

United States, 18th Mar 2026, – While large corporations have long enjoyed the benefits of high-end biometric security, many small business owners are still stuck choosing between outdated paper logs or expensive, contract-heavy software. NGTeco is changing that narrative. Today, the company reaffirms its commitment to providing 100,000+ small businesses worldwide with the tools they need to manage their teams—minus the complexity and hidden costs.

Bridging the Gap for the Modern Shop Owner

For a local retail store or a busy clinic, every minute counts. NGTeco’s “Sophisticated Simplicity” philosophy focuses on creating an ecosystem where technology supports the business owner, rather than becoming another task to manage. By replacing manual punch card systems with Cloud Time Clock TC1 terminals, NGTeco helps managers reclaim their time and eliminate the constant headaches associated with manual payroll processing.
 

Reliable Technology Built for Real-World Workplaces

At the heart of NGTeco’s success is its industry-vetted Visible Light Facial Recognition series. These aren’t just gadgets; they are workhorses built for busy, high-traffic environments. Using advanced algorithms, the systems recognize employees in under a second—with flagship models clocking in at an impressive 0.3s. This technology is optimized to perform in diverse lighting and even while staff are wearing masks, ensuring a fast, hands-free “walk-through” experience that keeps the morning rush moving smoothly.

Enterprise-Grade Security Without the Monthly Bill

Data privacy is a top priority in 2026, and it shouldn’t be a luxury. NGTeco hosts its infrastructure on Amazon Web Services (AWS), protecting employee records with the same encryption standards (TLS 1.2 and AES 256-bit) used by global financial institutions.

However, what truly sets NGTeco apart in a crowded market is its stance on transparency. “We believe you should own your hardware and your data,” says a spokesperson for NGTeco. Unlike competitors who lock essential features behind a paywall, NGTeco maintains a no-mandatory-subscription model. Business owners get lifetime access to core features, including automatic hour calculation and mobile reporting via the NGTeco Office App, right out of the box.

A Specialized Vision for the Future

As NGTeco grows its footprint in North America, its focus remains narrow and deep: mastering the “Attendance” niche. By choosing to do one thing exceptionally well, NGTeco is helping a new generation of entrepreneurs build more resilient, tech-forward businesses.

NGTeco Reimagines Workforce Management for SMBs: Professional Biometrics Without the Enterprise Price Tag

About NGTeco

Founded in the United States, NGTeco leverages nearly two decades of biometric technology experience to serve small and medium-sized businesses. Since 2018, the company has specialized in smart office solutions, combining its TC Series time clocks with the NGTeco Cloud platform to streamline workforce management.
