Life After 9–5: Building a K-Beauty Skincare Brand with SUMSAE

​At 529 Haus, we build community for people creating something beyond their 9-5. This April, we're spotlighting Kaylen, founder of Sumsae, a Korean skincare brand built right here in the Bay Area.

​Even in the heart of Silicon Valley, not everything runs on code. Some of it runs on culture, craft, and the courage to build something entirely your own — and those are the founders we're here to celebrate.

​Kaylen is one of those people — a cosmetic chemist and R&D scientist who turned a lifetime of knowledge and a deeply personal connection to K-beauty into a brand of her own.

​This conversation is for anyone curious about what it actually takes to build a product-based business and bring something rooted in culture and craft to market.

​You'll hear Kaylen's story firsthand, get a hands-on experience with the Sumsae product line, and leave with a complimentary PR box valued at $75.

​25 spots. 1 intentionally curated room.
