Entrepreneurship from an immigrant’s perspective is the topic of discussion in today’s podcast.

Nadia Ladak is the Co-founder of Marlow, an all-female start-up that provides easy-to-use lubricated tampons for women.

Marlow started as a project in an Entrepreneurship class during her last year in Business School. The idea of the class was to identify a problem and proffer solutions. The story behind this start-up opens the floor to the discussion in this podcast.

As an immigrant wanting to start a business or venture into entrepreneurship, there are 3 significant factors to consider: marketing, fundraising, and identifying problems and solutions.

Good marketing strategies must be in place for a business to thrive. Menstruation and menstrual health, being an uncomfortable topic, serves as a significant challenge for Nadia and her team. She falls back on how customers' feedback and recommendations are helpful and needed when making presentations to investors.

Finding investors and raising funds is a combination of reaching out to connections of connections; being on the lookout for investors in products and services similar to yours.

Nadia and her team identified a problem - the discomfort that women experience when inserting tampons - and presented a solution, the lubricant in tampon design.

This podcast explains everything entrepreneurship that an immigrant should know of and encourages business owners to stay motivated and believe in the products they have.
