A Canadian Entrepreneur’s Story of Managing Remotely while being Stuck in Middle East During COVID-19
In early March 2020 I flew to Dubai for work meetings. As an entrepreneur, I am always on the go. This trip was for my venture Airzai, a smart home fragrance and Care products startup that has attracted over $3.5M USD in seed funding so far and growing so fast that we were doubling our team each quarter. Even though I have to travel frequently around the world for in-person meetings and opportunities, I always tend to return back home and our HQ as soon as possible since I was a big believer in doing work with the team “under one roof”. But this pandemic changed it all for me.
