Bloomberg's Businessweek features NCP client "Tea & Honey Blends" Series on the world of startups
Posted by Napoleon in Uncategorized on October 26, 2011
Tea and Honey Blends became a client of NCP after contacting Producer, Don Napoleon to produce the company’s first promotional video and now two years later and in today’s ever changing economy Bloomberg’s Businessweek features the awesome duo….
Tea and Honey Blends was co-founded by Dr. Tiffani Bailey Lash and Dr. Tashni – Ann Dubroy. As young women of color engaged in Chemistry, they decided to utilize their innovative scientific knowledge to create a unique hair care product line designed to suit the needs of various hair textures in the ethnic market.
Editor’s Note: This Q&A is part of Bloomberg Businessweek‘s occasional series on the world of startups. The series focuses on MBAs and undergraduate business students who developed ideas or launched businesses while still in school, as well as on the many ways their schools helped them get their new ventures off the ground. Earning a doctorate in chemistry is not the typical first step to becoming an entrepreneur, but it worked well for Tashni-Ann Dubroy. While studying organic chemistry at North Carolina State in the early 2000s, she met future business partner Tiffani Bailey Lash. The two chemists bonded over their frustration at the lack of quality, natural, hair-care products tailored to women of color. Together they came up with the idea to develop their own line. Nearly a decade later, in December 2009, while Dubroy was still enrolled at Rutgers Business School, their idea became a reality with the launch of Tea and Honey Blends.
“This was the first time either one of us would go down this path of starting a business,” Dubroy says. “The mentors we had at Rutgers were instrumental and everything I learned was something I could implement.”
The company is based in Raleigh, N.C., and currently has 10 employees, to find out more information about the article and Tea & Honey Blends log onto the websites below:
