Start small, dream big: Young entrepreneurs shape our future

In this episode of Round Table, Niu Honglin interviews Amos Kimani, founder and CEO of Taosi App, a beauty tech platform, and Harold Laborte, founder and CEO of Capilli, a company that turns human hair into sustainable products. Amos shares his inspiration for creating Taosi, stemming from the challenges of finding beauticians for his music video shoots, while Harold discusses his shift from revenue management to upcycling human hair after rediscovering his high school science thesis. They discuss challenges like standardizing beauty services and initial skepticism towards human hair products, and they also share insights on the importance of mentorship, continuous learning, and leveraging technology to amplify their message and scale their businesses. Both entrepreneurs emphasize the significance of giving back to their communities, with Amos providing free makeovers for women's first job interviews and Harold employing unemployed women to create hair felted products.
