“Obstacles, as I’ve learned in life, that make you suffer, make you better.”

Miosoti Melucci CEO, Me Beau Bébé

"Especially in New York, everyone's an event planner. Everyone's a wedding planner. So it takes a lot of guts to keep pursuing it and find the people who understand your vision."

Michelle Newson CEO, ONEderland Events

“We’re here meeting everybody’s cycling needs: regular cyclists, commuters, people who race…and it’s been fun! I mean, you’re dealing with bicycles. How can it be bad?”

Ozzie Perez Owner, Tread Bike Shop

“Over the last 19 years, I’ve had the pleasure of being in different sectors of the business ecosystem. Having sat in every part of it, I felt that I could bring it together in a way that hadn’t been done before.”

Reza Pourkhomami CEO, fivesky

“I found a wonderful community on YouTube about hair and natural hair, African-American women sharing and swapping ideas, stories, and tutorials about great hairstyles and products…and I decided I had a unique voice to offer.”
