In Action

First, I immersed myself in Houston’s bubble tea culture, interviewed customers about how bubble tea intertwines with their life, and conducted surveys.

I spent months testing our recipes to perfection…

… and creating all the signage

With $8k in start-up capital by placing 2nd in the Newspring/HCC Business Plan competition…

… we started the business and sold at all these events and venues!

This is what customers had to say about Urban Leaf…

… as well as CultureMap Houston and KHOU.com, a local Houston channel, news segment.

We love all of you!

Urban Leaf would not have been the same without all my mentors from HCC Newspring Business Plan Completion…
