Baby brands failed her, so this founder spent years solving her own problem
In this episode, Fahad sits down with Meng Li, founder of Huhu — a modern baby brand born from lived experience, thoughtful design, and entrepreneurial grit. Meng shares how becoming a parent during lockdown exposed the overwhelm of traditional baby products and sparked her journey to build something better.
Meng opens up about growing up, her early career across nonprofits and large corporations, and what ultimately drew her into the startup world. She reflects on rediscovering her passion for consumer products, identifying gaps in the market, and designing products rooted in real parental needs — not trends.
Together, they explore the realities of entrepreneurship: launching a consumer brand, navigating e-commerce and word-of-mouth growth, and building momentum when everything feels hard. Meng offers candid advice on product quality, positioning, and why self-motivation becomes one of a founder’s most critical skills.
