Anil caught the entrepreneurial bug watching his immigrant parents hustle after moving to the US from Albania when he was 11. A year studying in Tokyo during college didn't just leave him fluent in Japanese - it sparked a lifelong love affair with coffee that led to founding Jaho Coffee in his hometown of Salem, MA in 2005. Since then, he's built a mini empire with seven Massachusetts locations, two Tokyo cafés, and a string of ventures including Barista Connection (before coffee folks had Instagram!), Milkboy Boba & Ice Cream, and Bagel Boys. His latest venture, Dekáf Coffee Roasters, is on a mission to prove decaf drinkers deserve the good stuff too.

With 15+ years of extensive experience in Marketing, Operations, and Strategic Planning for several CPG and beauty conglomerates, Amy has influenced the strategic direction for powerhouse brands including Kiehl’s, Giorgio Armani Beauty, and Michael Kors Beauty.Amy was born and raised in Taiwan. She came to the U.S. to pursue her graduate degree (Amy holds a Master of Engineering degree from MIT). Growing up in Asia, she was not exposed to makeup since most people in Taiwan didn’t wear makeup until they started working full-time. Her first makeup experience was in her mid 20’s when her friend took her to Macy’s and got her a beauty makeover. She recalls that she could hardly recognize herself in the mirror because it was not her style and she didn’t feel comfortable looking like someone else. Makeup trends are different in all cultures. With the launch of M2U, she wants to empower everyone to formulate their own beauty standards. She wants to give people tools to experiment, have fun and create new routines without feeling guilty about overspending."I launched M2Ü NYC after spending over a decade working at L’Oreal USA and The Estée Lauder Companies. Growing up in Taiwan and coming to the U.S. in my 20s, I realized the makeup trends are different in all cultures, but one thing remains the same, that is, people want to feel comfortable with whatever they choose to put on their skin. My goal as an Asian American founder is to create a price inclusive, ingredient driven makeup brand. I feel strongly that every person should be able to enjoy the benefits of high-quality makeup without stressing over the prices.”– Amy Chou Granger, Co-Founder of M2Ü NYC.

Ayla Barmmer, MS, RDN, LDN is the founder and CEO of FullWell, the only registered dietitian-founded and formulated reproductive health supplement brand that supports women and men at every stage. With 20+ years of experience in fertility nutrition, Ayla has taken an evidence-backed, foundational approach in developing the highest quality, effective, and thoroughly tested offering that clinicians and customers love, which has allowed her to build FullWell profitably from the start without venture backing. While currently on sabbatical from private practice, Ayla owns and operates Boston Functional Nutrition and co-founded the Women's Health Nutrition Academy in 2018. A letter from FullWell founder, Ayla Barmmer, MS, RD, LDNI founded FullWell as an adjunct to my clinical practice at Boston Functional Nutrition because I wanted to make the evidence-based, effective, and high-quality supplement we created for our clients available to the rest of the world.After almost two decades working on thousands of complex fertility cases, I’ve learned that no two are alike. In fact, fertility is arguably one of the most common yet perplexing health issues. The vast majority of people receive the most frustrating diagnosis of all: “unexplained infertility.” Popular medical interventions have notoriously poor success rates and often yield tremendous physical and emotional stress, not the mention the financial and relational impact.I synthesized decades of findings, looking at the needs that have emerged from the most straightforward to the most complex cases. My approach looks at the whole person, in the context of their environments, peeling back the layers until we grasp root issues. Over time, I've observed as many external and systemic causes of fertility issues as internal and specific concerns. For this reason, I believe in addressing our pursuit of fertility health as both an individual and collective need, carefully supporting a wide variety of inputs to build the optimal foundation for conception, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery.I'm thrilled that FullWell has garnered the enthusiastic endorsement of so many healthcare practitioners and physicians, but even more so in experiencing firsthand the satisfaction of our users. Every person who selects our prenatal formula is choosing to invest in their own health, and in the fundamental health of their baby. As both a mom and a clinician—I’m deeply honored to support them.Ayla BarmmerFounder, FullWell
