I am just starting a fashion brand on a limited budget, and I need someone from your team to hand-hold me during the entire process. I am on a budget, and I cannot pay for the services.
We get many questions like the above or some expectations that are set along those lines. We have accelerator programs and product development programs geared towards supporting entrepreneurs who are starting a fashion brand. In addition, we also have a non-profit: Bose Foundation that works with other NGOs and non-profit founders working within the fashion & Apparel space.
If you are planning to run a for-profit brand but you do not want to pay for the services or the product, then something is very wrong with your approach.
We have to balance the art of supporting the broader community of fashion entrepreneurs and also manage our own payroll & other expenses. While the knowledge is FREE but the cost of servicing you is NOT.
We regularly put out content that supports and empowers fashion entrepreneurs, in a self-service manner - which means if you are not officially working with us, you can still enrich your knowledge through our articles and posts and knowledge base, but you have to read and do your research yourself. There won't be any individual hand-holding.
However, once you are part of any of our programs (development program, accelerator program, or simply manufacturing program), you get assigned an individual account manager.
