This week on The Commerce Club podcast I’m joined by Eniye Okah - the founder of Beame, and ex-founder of Blob Box.
Beame is her brand new sunscreen brand, built off the back of a problem Eniye wanted to solve. In this episode Eniye and I discuss her entrepreneurial journey, how she went from starting from her first business, to closing it down and then starting her current business venture.
We deep dive into the importance of identifying market needs, conducting thorough research, profitability and recognizing when to pivot in business.
Eniye also touches on the emotional and mental challenges of stepping away from a business she loved and the connection between mental health and skincare, leading to the creation of Beame.
We also discuss how to fund a new business, how to get ahead before you have even begun through business accelerators and crowdfunding for your business.
