SUMMARY:Lessons from a Success Story
DESCRIPTION:When Carami came to Nevada SBDC at UNLV several years ago\, all she had was an idea and the drive to bring it to life. Since then\, she has built her cornerstone products\, launched her business\, gotten her products into retail stores\, and won an entrepreneurship award. \nIf you’re a new business just starting out or an existing business looking for growth\, join us for this event and receive valuable insights\, motivation\, and connection with other entrepreneurs. Hear it from a successful entrepreneur – your dream is achievable! \n  \nPilula™ Founder\, Carami Olsen\, has taken supplements in many forms since childhood. Born to a mother on a health quest\, since long before it was trending\, Carami was taught to appreciate the results of supplementing what food does not provide. Well educated on the health and wellness of the human body\, this early influence on our founder ultimately led to the creation of a beautiful pill box option and development of the Pilula Pod and the Pilula Track App. Carami maintains the belief in a limitless quality of life and feeling good everyday\, which Pilula™ supports with simplified regiments\, secure contents\, and confidence to continue your life without disruption.

She has practiced medicine for over 20 years.\nShe moved to Las Vegas in 2016 and immediately knew she was home. She was chosen for Leadership Las Vegas Class of 2018 and that is where she found her tribe to motivate her to make a difference in the city.
