Entrepreneurship

The Ask

Create a realistic company to start up in Richmond, Virginia.

The Process

To begin my teammates and I completed customer surveys to gain a better understanding of the Richmond locals to discover what they felt was missing. We took these surveys to also gauge the income and locality of the consumers. We then discovered potential consumers were interested in vintage and upcycled goods and began creating our boutique from there. We worked through financials including rent, payroll, annual cost, gross profit, year one net sales, profit and loss, and many other important factors in a brand’s financials. We curated brands to bring into our boutique within a price range for our ideal consumers.
