"I can 100% say that I would not have made it as far and as fast as I did with my product if it wasn't for Liz. She helped me with everything: vendor vetting, hiring vendors, comparing quotes, reviewing fabric, teaching me about quality control and so much more. I consider Liz to be a part of my team. She is valuable to my startup and me. Liz is also SUPER easy to work with, and she makes a strong effort to understand my business model and me as a Founder." - Suzanne, Private Packs

makeruniversity

"As a new entrepreneur in a field I know nothing about, I felt so lost and exposed with my lack of knowledge in the apparel manufacturing industry. Liz and her team helped me so much, gave me a feeling of security that I was doing the right thing and gave me real, practical advice specific to what I'm doing. I have a very small budget and I so glad I invested in this! I think I would have quit had it not been for Liz’s guidance. She tells it like it is, but in a gentle, kind, professional way. She's prompt and quick to respond. A great resource, with lots of knowledge and connections. Highly recommend!" - Natalie, Pants for Peanuts

If you have an existing product line and want to improve your sales and operations, the Accelerator Program will help. We'll take a deep dive into your business to identify areas of opportunity as well as the weak spots that are limiting your success.

We'll look at your costs, pricing, branding, messaging, product offering, website, photography and more, and deliver an actionable list of to-do's to correct problems and supercharge your growth.

You'll also be connected to suggested vendors - including factories, marketers, and other experts - to help you take your brand to the next level.
