Podcast Immigrant Entrepreneurship

Immigrants own over a quarter of newly established businesses, despite accounting for less than 15% of the total U.S. population. These entrepreneurs have developed successful businesses in various industries including healthcare, hospitality, food services, and technology, but their immigrant stories often remain untold. Through this student-produced podcast series from Professor Nazareno's course on immigrant entrepreneurship at Brown University, we unravel the founding stories of startups and local businesses all around us.

In 2008, Jessica founded BabbaCo to invest in the future of parenting by helping families spend quality time together through subscription activity boxes.
