Hey there!
I’m Azeezat Periola!

Hello and a warm welcome!

I’m Azeezat Periola an, LLM Intellectual Property graduate from Queen Mary University of London. My passion for learning and empowering others with knowledge on intellectual property matters and promoting business development led me to create this blog.

I fell into law and decided to explore entrepreneurship. Through my experiences, I noticed that many entrepreneurs’ problems are due to their lack of knowledge. I have seen this through my masters degree experience in Intellectual Property.

How it all started…

My path towards entrepreneurship began when a friend, invited me to attend: Be Your Own Boss – a 12-week course during my undergraduate degree. The programme enlightened us about how to start a small business and I discovered the role intellectual property plays in business development – it piqued my interest and I explored it through my masters degree at QMUL. I focused on understanding the relationship and how intellectual property interacts with business development. I took modules relating to commercialisation, e-commerce transactions, Digital IP, and many more. I also engaged in Continuing Professional Development courses on LinkedIn Learning to acquire new skills and enhance my knowledge on entrepreneurship.

I also participated in a business development activity – QIncubator and won 2 awards – Best Pitch and People’s vote award. I knew I had a lot to share with others from my experience and that’s what I aim to do here. Sharing insights with clarity on business development.

I aim to redefine the approach to entrepreneurship whilst creating an awareness that intellectual property rights are key parts of entrepreneurship that businesses should embrace.

And most important I am a Muslim – Salafi
