Idea

We build a platform where authentic brands can match and connect with influential communities / talented creatives / leaders from around the world with strong culture to create and sell collaboration products.

Exclusive capsule collections of high quality merch/swag that will tell stories against sharp points and convey culture and values to audiences.

The idea is based on three main trends:
- Millennials and Gen-Z buying preferences
- Brands becoming outsourcing companies seeking talent outside
- Sustainable fashion

Current Status

Launching prototype / MVP in Q2 2020 for validation and road testing by early adopters

Market

BRAND is any form of an enterprise that professionally manufactures and sells original authentic goods. In modern world, successful brands became open source companies that strive to help communities to tell their stories against sharp points and hire talent to bring creativity.

COMMUNITY (LEADERS/CREATIVES) is a social group/individual which dwells culture, philosophy, traditions and represents its values. With social media burst influencers, designers, athletes, artists, creatives and public figures build and strengthen their communities every day. They seek for companies to help them spread the word and share culture.

SOM
