How It Started: Our First Market
Share
What began as a solo project in a two-bedroom apartment in Euless, Texas, evolved into a collaborative showcase for four friends' businesses. Despite a quiet start, the conversations that day sparked what is now, Entreprenaari.
We then hosted our first market featuring eight women entrepreneurs offering everything from candles and traditional attire to face painting, henna tattoos, and pickles. Held at the Nepali, women-owned studio 'Arch by Suki' in downtown Dallas on December 16th, the event drew 200 attendees. The power of collaboration was striking—check out some of our testimonials.
