Join us this Saturday in our interactive workshop series, where local DC natives Ibrahim Zafar and Haley Bryant teach you how to turn your passion project and creative service into a company, how to fundraise, and how to scale your product.

This will be a fun conversation over tea.

Ibrahim Zafar is an entrepreneur who specializes in transforming creative passions into profitable enterprises. In 2020, he founded Lens End Media and bootstrapped it from $0 to a 7-figure business in just four years. Under his leadership, the video production agency attracted top-tier clients such as Walgreens, Deloitte, Stellantis, LEGO Group, Georgetown University Hospital, Red Nose Day, NBA, and former NFL athletes. This rapid growth led to Lens End Media's acquisition, in 2024, by BrandStar, a full-service marketing agency with over 300 employees nationwide. Ibrahim currently serves as the President of Lens End Media, continuing to drive its success and expansion across BrandStar's 10,000+ brands. In addition to his role at Lens End Media, Ibrahim dedicates himself to empowering fellow creatives, helping founders build robust business models and achieve financial success.

Haley Bryant is a pre-seed investor at Hustle Fund. After graduating from the University of Virginia, Haley led teams at Apple retail. Apple’s small business program led her to startup customer success leadership roles at I Done This (acquired), Brazen, and b2b SaaS content marketing agency Animalz where she became COO and started angel investing in founders from and/or supporting underserved communities. Haley broke into VC by growing Hustle Fund’s Angel Squad community, on a mission to democratize access to wealth creation through startups for the next 10,000 angel investors.
