Hannah Bronfman (born October 26, 1987[1]) is an American DJ,[2] social media influencer,[3] and entrepreneur from Manhattan.[4][5][6][7] She was a co-founder of Beautified, a now defunct mobile app for finding last-minute beauty services.

Early life and education

Bronfman was born in New York City to a Jewish father, former Warner Music Group CEO Edgar Bronfman Jr., and an African-American mother, actress Sherry Brewer.[8][9][10][11] She is a member of the Lehman family through her paternal grandmother, Ann Loeb Bronfman.[12]

She graduated from Bard College in December 2010 with a degree in sculpture.[4]

Career

When she was 20, Bronfman invested in the restaurant Hotel Griffou.[13] She was a co-founder with her older brother, entrepreneur and musician Benjamin Bronfman, of Green Owl, an ecologically oriented multimedia company, which she managed.[4][13][11][14]

In 2012, Bronfman co-founded Beautified, a mobile app that allowed users to secure last-minute beauty services such as salon, spa, and gym bookings.[8][15][16] The app originally covered only New York City, but expanded to Los Angeles and San Francisco in August 2014.[17] Beautified's expansion coincided with an announcement that it had raised $1.2 million in seed funding. Bronfman was ousted from the company in 2014;[18] as of April 2018, the app was defunct.[19]

She was featured in the fashion documentary This is My Reality in 2013,[20][21] and was a featured model at DKNY's Fall 2014 Fashion Show and walked the runway.[22] It was her first appearance on a runway.[22] In 2015, Bronfman became a Clinique ambassador for their 3-Step System as well as a part of their #FaceForward Campaign, an initiative to capture the attention of millennials.[23]

She has published a health and wellness book titled Do What Feels Good, and runs an associated website, HBFIT.com.[2]
