This course filled all the gaps in my industry knowledge that I was left with after graduating from fashion school. Melanie is like a production matchmaker, pairing students with ethical manufacturers for any product you can think of. Weekly office hours allowed space for brainstorming, problem-solving, and a great sense of community in the group.

Taking this course has given me the confidence I needed to really make this startup happen. It's like having a partner there with you every step of the way giving you feedback and advice. Taking this course was exactly what I needed to boost me in the right direction and I cannot say enough great things about it.

As someone with entrepreneurial experience, who has shipped and sold in their market firsthand, and has a business background, I can tell you I learned something every week. Starting a brand from the ground up is completely different from working for one.

Melanie was able to help me scale my business and get wholesale ready. She continues to be my go-to sourcing resource as I grow my brand. Knowing that I had a strong supply chain to back up my orders helped give me the extra confidence I needed to start taking larger retail orders.
