Confidence and taking chances are two very important factors when it comes to owning and running a business. In the case of Samar Qureshi, co-founder and owner of Squared photo booth, they are the two factors that led to the creation of his business.

He believed he could make a service he saw at an event better and based on the success of his business, he was right. SHE had a chance to ask him all the details about his journey thus far and boy are we impressed!

Where/When did the idea to start your own business/company come from?

I was invited to a reunion party for an organization I volunteered with at the University of Toronto which integrates adults with disabilities with university students. At this event, there was a photo booth my wife, Summer and I par took in, it was fun, but I looked at it and thought to myself that I could do this so much better. A few months passed and I thought I’d scratch this itch and I’d try it at my cousins wedding. Summer and I did a lot of market research, tested many different software options, camera setting and lighting and finally came up with something we loved. That was it, the beginning of SQuared Photo Booth.
