It’s a busy time, and then when you’ve been home you’ve been thinking, WHAT do I do WITH ALL THIS STUFF?! If I could just get rid of some of it, THAT would FIX THINGS. And the truth is it would and you can! You can bring it to the Rummage Sale, so it can pass down to others, and maybe you can get a few things you need in the right size for JUST 2 DOLLARS. And it’s all gonna happen October 25th so YOU HAVE TIME to sort and get your things together. It’s going to FEEL GREAT. See you there.

From the challenges of building to what comes next, our founders shared what it really takes to turn deep tech innovation into impact.

A few takeaways from the leaders building the future of sustainable design. ↓

Moderated by Victoria Smith
Fashion & Founders

Speakers:
Ross McBee - “This stuff hasn't existed because it hasn't existed yet, not because the market isn’t interested.”
TômTex Inc.

Stephanie Downs - “In the leather space, and there've been a lot of big failures, very public companies that have raised hundreds of millions, one raised almost a half a billion dollars. One of the things I have to try and educate investors on a lot when I'm speaking to them about it is that those technologies failed. But they see it as the market just didn't want the product.”
Uncaged Innovations

Adam Baruchowitz - “Getting brands excited on the first meeting, it's not that hard. The biggest thing is getting them to put their money where that a-ha is. “
Return To Vendor RTV Wearable Collections

Mridu Jhangiani - “I think an important piece of commercialization is not necessarily having to go up to the big brands. Yes, that's very important, but if that's going to stall progress, then it's not that important, right? It's more important having strong economics, one core product. That's what gives investors confidence.”
