Shekh Solayman
Founder and business owner building consumer brands across home and wellness, beauty, and pet products.
From early experiments with technology and online selling to creating products at home and developing brands, my journey has always been about learning, building, and creating more freedom for the people and things that matter most.
About
I’m a business owner. I run a few consumer product brands.
Based in New York, I founded Solayman’s LLC, Nibble Pet LLC and Lookix LLC.
My interest in business began as a child in Bangladesh, long before I understood profit margins or e-commerce. After discovering the internet, teaching myself new skills and starting to sell online in 2016, I began making microwavable heating pads at home in 2018.
Today, I work across product development, sourcing, manufacturing partnerships, branding, e-commerce and wholesale. For me, building businesses has never been solely about sales—it’s also about the freedom to spend more time with family and pursue the things I love.
