The Formative Years:

Early Life and Career

Growing up in Brooklyn, NY, I was born into a working-class family where my parents instilled a deep passion for uplifting communities lacking opportunities. As a teenager, my goal was to make my mother proud and provide for my family. In 1999, I started Amanady Products with our signature Imperial Touch Razor Bump Solution. Although the company initially went bankrupt, I persevered.

As a retail salesman, I transformed my hobby into a startup offering exceptional skincare solutions. My mission remains unchanged: to change the world with amazing products. Entrepreneurship is more than a lifestyle; it's a mindset driving vision into reality. Undeterred by obstacles,

We launched Dr. FeelGood, Imperial Touch and Dr. Klipp with determination and grit. My mother's selflessness inspired me. Every month, she'd help those in need despite struggling herself. Her words still resonate: "They need it more than we do." Tough times creates strong individuals, and every successful person has a painful story.

Through hardship and failure, valuable lessons were learned. Each setback fuels creativity, and come to realize that ultimate freedom lies in creating your own path. Sales is my passion; I thrive on interacting with customers, solving problems and providing solutions. I strive to leave a lasting positive impact, empowering others to embrace their true selves and make a difference.

Every accomplished individual has a story of resilience, marked by countless setbacks and silent struggles. They persevered when no one watched, practiced when alone, and transformed their hardships into triumphs. Today, their achievements seem effortless, but the journey was forged in tough times that shaped them into stronger individuals.

A day of self-discovery awaits us all, when our true potential and purpose will be revealed. Will you be ready? Embrace your journey, for it shapes your strength and character. Pain and effort may precede success, but they also ignite growth, transforming challenges into opportunities for greatness.

Our perspective encompasses a holistic view of four key areas: technology, investing, operations, and company culture. We embrace cutting-edge innovations to drive growth and efficiency, while strategic investments fuel our expansion and diversification. Streamlined operations ensure agility and scalability, enabling us to adapt and thrive.

About Kaptrone

Philanthropy

Bilal Jean-Paul's passion for philanthropy led him to co-found the BJP Foundation, dedicated to supporting vulnerable women, education, social justice and job accessibility. This endeavor stems from his deep commitment to empowering communities lacking opportunities.

Inspired by his mother's selfless nature, Bilal witnessed firsthand the impact of generosity. Despite struggling herself, she consistently helped those in need. This upbringing instilled in Bilal a sense of responsibility to give back.

The BJP Foundation focuses on accelerating racial equity in Baltimore, DC and Atlanta through targeted programs. Bilal's philanthropic efforts extend beyond personal giving, prioritizing environmental preservation and outdoor accessibility while upholding traditional family values.

Through community involvement and partnerships, the foundation aims to raise millions for its causes. A percentage of sales will support initiatives addressing pressing social issues. We acknowledge the merits of homeschooling and encourage parents to explore this viable option.

By dedicating quality time to their children, parents cultivate a profound bond, nurturing essential social skills that lay the groundwork for a cohesive and harmonious community. These intergenerational values foster an environment where individuals thrive, grow and prosper together, forming the bedrock of a stable society.

Ultimately, Bilal's goal is to make a tangible difference in the lives of those struggling. By combining resources, dedication and community engagement, the BJP Foundation strives to create lasting change and uplift marginalized communities.
