Started by: Janine Hausif
I've started a new business! ....and businesses cost money! It's a well-known fact that most businesses fail in the first five years. I'm asking my friends/family/tribe to help me beat those odds and set me up for success from the jump!
THE BUSINESS:
Sew Sustainable Alterations is an on-demand tailoring company. I'm crowdfunding because I'm moving the business model from B2C to B2B. From good to great!
For Individuals (B2C): I come to your home or office to do personalized fittings for your alterations. And drop them off to you at your convenience.
For businesses (B2B): We (will) provide on-site tailoring for employees as an in-office perk. We sew while you work.
BUT to get there, I need your help. Between finding talent, training them in my Agile Alterations Method™ and marketing materials, it's quite the transition!
