Jan 2012 - Jun 2015
I started working on the project since it was an idea in my mind until we had more than 20 locations. My role was to develop new products, search new clients and to expand labor force. As an entrepreneur, I had to do everything inside the company (from getting the raw material to the factory until delivering at the clients' stores). After two-year of successfully developing the business, we sell it to a third party. I started working on the project since it was an idea in my mind until we had more than 20 locations.
