After 15 years as a top product development consultant, I launched nu:titty (get the pun, nudity, and new titties?) to create post-surgery bras that women want to wear, helping them feel feel comfortable and confident in their new bodies.Before starting nu:titty I worked with brands including Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren, and Tory Burch, and giants like Macy’s,Walmart and Target. But, after undergoing my own prophylactic mastectomy last summer, I realized firsthand just how limited options for this community are. For too long, the message to patients has been to be happy their cancer is cured and stop worrying about what they look like. But I believe women deserve more than this.I mean, no one really NEEDS a cute bra after surgery. But, that doesn't mean it won't make you feel good.nu:titty is more than just bras - it's a movement to help women feel complete after their breast cancer journey.

Bill Shufelt is the co-founder and chief executive officer of Athletic Brewing Company, the largest and most decorated non-alcoholic brewery in America. As an outdoor enthusiast, trail runner, and busy modern adult, Bill realized that alcohol was holding him back from achieving all of his goals, so he left it behind for good in 2013. However, he still loved socializing with friends and family and pairing great brews with delicious meals. When Bill stopped drinking, he was surprised to discover that nobody had taken the time to develop a line of full-flavored, non-alcoholic beers for the 60% of Americans who drink less than one time per week. So, Bill set out to change that by creating a company focused on crafting delicious adult non-alcoholic beverages that didn't compromise on taste or quality. In 2017, Bill left a successful career at one of the world's largest hedge funds to begin building the first U.S. brewery and taproom dedicated entirely to non-alcoholic beer, despite skepticism from industry insiders. Today, Athletic Brewing is the #1 non-alcoholic beer brand in America, with over 19% market share.

I was born in New York to Pakistani parents, shaped by a life that’s always existed between worlds. From the ages of 10 to 15, I lived in Pakistan, absorbing a culture deeply rooted in tradition while navigating the push and pull of my Western upbringing. At 15, I moved to London, where the city’s energy and diversity expanded my perspective even further. That blend of movement, adaptation, and reinvention became second nature—something I’ve carried into everything I do.My career has been a reflection of that same fluidity. I started in the music industry, working at Sony Music and Universal Music, where I learned the power of culture, storytelling, and brand-building. Later, I led digital innovation at Equinox and then helped shape the future of content and commerce at Amazon, driving marketing and brand strategy for some of the biggest platforms in the world.But Between Spaces is personal. This brand is about movement—not just physical, but the transitions that define us. It’s for those who live between disciplines, between identities, between one place and the next. Inspired by my moments in transition and growth, I wanted to create apparel that adapts to life’s rhythms—effortlessly balancing form and function.

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.

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.

I had the idea of Tandem while I was 4 months pregnant. I was constantly lugging around my water bottle but not actually drinking it. Acutely aware of the benefits of drinking water and staying hydrated but I had a hard time constantly drinking plain water. As an avid consumer of flavored waters and sparkling seltzers,  I was searching for an eco-friendly, healthier option, essentially a drink mix so I could cut down on my packaging. However most of the existing drink mixes either had electrolytes (essentially added salt) which required added sugar and sweeteners. I couldn't believe there wasn't a drink mix that didn't have either out on the market! Hence the idea for Tandem.While Tandem is a better-for-you product, I believed we can also be a better-for-the earth and better-for- community company.My inspiration for Slow Ride Instant Coffee happened much the same way, where I knew there had to be a faster way to make delicious coffee. Slow Ride is on a mission to transport you to the highlands of Vietnam where our beans are meticulously grown and harvested, roasted by master Vietnamese coffee roasters and ready to drink in an instant. We strive to use the freshest ingredients, pay workers a living wage, and be supply chain plastic free and carbon negative by 2022.

After taking the feedback and putting out an MVP In July, the app once again was overrun with over 85k people signing up for the platform In a week., putting the app at #5 within the US on Apple's Lifestyle Charts.
