What I need help with

My background as an entrepreneur

My current challenges

Digital and offline Marketing , business financing, financial records management, and consistently targeting my customer

Actions I’ve taken so far

I have incorporated my company, created a business plan without financial projections, created a website and social media profile. I have researched the vendors and have my resellers license. I know the exact product I want to sell and how to get it.

My future goals

To have the company make at least 5,000 a month. I want to operate my company full time. To pitch my brand to retail and local stores. I also want to attend more pop shops and make sure my brand is more visible to the public.

My motivations to work with a mentor

I have the passion and the drive to build my brand but I need the guidance to insure I am making the right decisions toward profitability. I want someone who understands my mission to guide me and make me aware of my blind spots so I can grow my company faster.


About my venture

Politically Urban Started 2023

I am graphic designer that has a passion for creating sustainable fashion. I do not have the traditional fashion background but through self education have created an eco friendly streetwear brand called Politically Urban. I have done the ground work to develop a product that is needed and designed for a niche audience. My issue is marketing and understanding how to target my customer consistently. I am also not the greatest at managing the business records and need help. I currently work a 9-5 job and do my brand on the side. My goal is to make my brand profitable so I can do it full time.

I am looking to relaunch my brand and need guidance on how to make sure my next launch is success. I am coachable and willing to dedicate my time to insure my brand is successful. I am looking for a mentor that will work with me to build my brand hold me accountable for my personal and business development.

Countries of operation: United States of America
