Speaker: Kari Collins, Owner, True Femme Collective
Kari Collins: My name is Kerry Collins and my business partner who also happens to be my sister and I decided to work with Amy to help us bring a nontoxic plant based beauty line to the market.
Kari Collins: Working with Amy really helped us expedite the process. So we didn't have to try and figure it all out ourselves. She had a roadmap in order to get to launch. She did a great job at helping us to find our niche and target market. And then her network connections were incredibly helpful in securing our chemist who we love and really understands our concept and has been creating some beautiful samples for us that we're incredibly happy with.
Kari Collins: My favorite thing about the program were the group calls. It was really helpful to hear other people share their experience and their journey and what they were working on and their process and what they liked, what they didn't like and what was working. And that was a call that I really looked forward to every week.
Kari Collins: So, before accelerator, we just had an idea and a desire. And after accelerator, we have a landing page social media, we're sending out weekly emails we're done with our first product working on packaging. Now, moving into our second product and very soon we will be able to launch in the marketplace.
