Show notes
Eva is originally from Poland and she immigrated with her family to the States when she was very young. Her parents had to downgrade and take lower paying jobs than what they were used to back home. As an immigrant, they had humble beginnings. Eva grew up and wanted to get to Harvard really, really bad.. so she did everything in her power to achieve a full ride scholarship to Harvard.
After receiving her bachelor’s in Economics she went out into the private sector where she worked for 4 years. During that time she saw her boyfriend launch a very successful startup and she had the urge to do the same thing. She saved $200,000+ during her time in the corporate world and gave everything she had to her brand new startup: Floss Bar.
Floss Bar is a mobile dentistry service, providing high quality dental services to companies nationwide.
Eva was featured in Forbes 30 Under 30 in Healthcare, Fox News, Business Insider, Yahoo! Finance, and many more news mediums. Eva is a young immigrant entrepreneur and shows proof that you don’t need to be a dentist or a hygienist to start a company in that field.
Quotes by Eva
I’m not a dentist, I’m not a hygienist.
I went to various dental offices as a patient and asked them way too many questions.
I walked around networking to the greater NY dental meetings.
I would recommend that people choose their mentors carefully.
A main lesson that I’ve learned, is the importance of contracts.
The American dream is to be able to fund the endeavours of my family.
What’s the dream of each person in my family, and how can I achieve it?
Being thankful for what you have, and maximizing what you do have, is just very important. You have to acknowledge not everyone is going to have that opportunity.
America is meritocratic versus other countries, but you have to hustle to get it done and sacrifice to really reach your American dream.
