    Modern Brands
    Founder, CEO / Co-Founder 2019 - Present (about 7 years)
    We are a b2b platform built for the fashion industry, and the first open-source solution that connects the physical and the digital elements of clothing manufacturing.

    1.2... more trillion dollars are spent annually on design and development of fashion apparel and accessories.
    IF you have an apparel company, you are spending 75K + just getting your products to market. (Thats before the cost of production.)

    We have re-invented how to design and develop apparel.

    Our platform provides STYLE BLOCKS which are pre-sourced and pre-costed "templates" and a proprietary tool that helps you design and review costs from multiple countries... essentially helping you to create your collections in minutes instead of the weeks and weeks of your current workflow.

    You will benefit from our memberships and marketplace offerings if you are an influencer, a retailer a designer, a brand, a fashion freelancer, a fashion professional, and finally if you are a factory... if you make clothing (or if you want too) we can help you do it faster, cheaper, and with less friction than ever before.

    We offer Free and Premium memberships- giving *anyone* access to our styleblocks and materials libraries of trend driven products that are production ready.

    Our White Label enterprise membership is for factories, influencer agencies, and others who wish to provide their clients the ability to design with pre-assorted options.

    Hello World Venture-

    Hello World Venture used to be a small batch sewing factory and brand studio based in DTLA called Hello World Fashion.

    In the course of... more working with 75+ brands and helping them with their GTM strategies... we realized we were not solving the problem we wanted to solve... so we built it and tested it in-house.

    Modern Brands (mentioned above) was the first of many small angel investments.

    We look for D2C brands with clear GTM strategy that we can actively participate in supply chain build-outs as well as innovative technologies that span web 3 < > marketing.

    Our investments are thought about simply- is this a good idea that solves a problem?

    Obviously we are systems thinkers and like companies that template, open-source, or otherwise think differently about integrating technology into our everyday lives.
