NAICS: 315 Apparel Manufacturing Description: Market unique street wear designs |
| My business partner actually started the company back in 2010. I saw a design of a frog that was really interesting and it made me consider getting into the business. I finally got into the business a few months later when he asked me to help him design the company logo, which is the round logo that represents us today. Our initial goal was to create 3 designs and just sell a few shirts to our friends and family. In reality we didn’t really care about making a profit. We just wanted to ability to say that "we owned our own clothing line" even if we didn’t generate any money. |

NAICS: 335 Electrical Equipment, Appliance, and Component Manufacturing Description: Phone Accessories |
| I decided to get into this business a few years ago when I saw the increasing popularity for smart phones. As the sales for smartphones was increasing drastically, I also saw the demand for cellphone accessories as a necessity for many phone users. And knowing how this generation cares about their new phone and the style for it, I knew it was the right moment to introduce these new products into the American market. Therefore, I decided to get started on this wholesale career in cellphone accessories before there gets a ton of competitors out there already. My initial goal was not only to sell my products in wholesale quantities to as many stores as possible, but also quality products in order to build up my business’ reputation. |

| I suffer from Vitiligo, a skin condition that causes the loss of color in the skin pigmentation. Searching for many specialist and clinics I couldn’t find any clinics that would specialize in Vitiligo. I then decided to study my own skin condition and find a solution to cure it. My initial goal to opening the skin care was to help out all people who suffer from Vitiligo who couldn’t get help or were being ripped off. |
