When it comes to manufacturing an apparel product, it’s hard to know where to start. Physical products are one of the hardest things to bring to market — but now they don’t have to be.
Factory45 is a start-to-finish accelerator program that takes aspiring entrepreneurs from idea stage to launching an apparel product.
The program runs from March 30 through July 31, 2015. With five online modules and bi-weekly group calls, your progress is self-paced so it’s manageable whether you have a full-time job or you’re building your company full time.
Starting a company is tough — there’s no doubt about it. But getting started can be easier. With a community of like-minded entrepreneurs, the mentorship of people who have done it before, and a framework to follow through each step, you can launch your company much faster — and waste less money — than taking the solo road.
With Factory45, you will have everything you need to start your company: a supply chain in the U.S., a crystal clear launch strategy, and money to fund production.
If you’re ready to launch your own company and be a part of creating a more ethical and transparent fashion industry, apply to join Factory45 here.
