THE FOUNDER ADVISORY

Strategic consulting for early-stage and growing apparel founders

Already in motion? Bring me in where you need me.

You’ve already started building. Now you need experienced guidance to help you make better decisions, solve the challenges in front of you, and prepare for what comes next.

You may not need someone to build your collection from the beginning—or a full in-house design, product development, and sourcing team.

You may simply need 25 years of apparel experience in the room with you.

Founder Advisory gives early-stage and growing apparel founders access to experienced product development, sourcing, and operational guidance exactly where they need it most.

Together, we’ll pressure-test decisions, troubleshoot challenges, strengthen your processes, and help you build a business that’s less dependent on any one manufacturer, vendor, or person.

Founder Advisory May Be Right for You If...

  • You’re actively developing product and need experienced guidance through samples, submits, fit, costing, approvals, or manufacturer communication.

  • You want greater confidence and control over your product-development process.

  • You’ve become too reliant on a single factory or sourcing partner and want to reduce risk.

  • You’re preparing to diversify or strengthen your sourcing strategy.

  • Your business is growing, but your product-development processes haven’t caught up.

  • You’re trying to determine which team roles, resources, or outside partners you actually need next.

  • You want senior-level apparel expertise without immediately building a large internal team.
