This week on the Transition, I sat down with Army Veteran Haotian Bai, President and Founder of Patriot Conceptions, an LA based surrogacy agency dedicated to providing exceptional service to surrogates and intended families. I met Bai through NYU’s Veterans Future Labs, where I gave a talk on branding. We connected afterwards and since then, we've attended multiple events together including the VFL Summit in NYC and the MilVet Startup Conference. Bai has an interesting background as a Chinese Immigrant, that enlisted in the Army after earning multiple degrees. After transitioning off active duty, Bai stumbled upon the Third-Party Reproduction industry, commonly referred to as surrogacy, and was able to build a successful business serving clients all over the world. On the show, he shares more insight into his transition from the military, how he started Patriotic Conceptions, and his experience in the veteran entrepreneurial ecosystem thus far.
