SUMMARY:FoundHER Panel: Save the Date!
DESCRIPTION:Register for this session via EventBrite – registration is required! \n______________________________________________________ \nAbout the Session \nYou’re invited to our first FoundHER panel of the semester! Join us on Wednesday\, October 9th to hear from the founders of Early Bird\, NightTight Bedding\, Csunshine Designs\, and Texan Christmas. You’ll learn all about transforming ideas into products.  \nAbout their Businesses: \nInspired by her friend’s tendency to get terrible hangovers\, she and her co-founder created a drink that she could enjoy\, without having to worry about the negative hangover-related effects. Infused with DHM\, a powerful plant extract\, our hard lemonade offers the perfect blend of refreshment and innovation. Boasting an alcohol percentage comparable to beer or seltzer\, Early Bird stands as a testament to enjoyable indulgence without compromise. \nAfter struggling with his fitted bed sheet popping off the mattress almost every week\, he went to a popular fabric store\, purchased a used sewing machine and the necessary supplies\, and taught himself how to sew by watching YouTube tutorials until he had a working prototype. NightTight Bedding provides a fitted bed sheet that can be adjusted to your desired tightness. This ensures that your fitted bed sheet stays fitted to your mattress\, giving you a better night’s sleep. \nA lover of all things floral\, Csunshine Designs is a down to Earth home decor company bringing the beauty of nature to your home through her hand painted and locally printed designs. Ethically sourced tea towels\, mugs\, pillows\, prints and bouquets are her forte! If it will add beauty to your life and to your home\, its probably Csunshine Designs. \nStemming from her family tradition of everyone picking out their own special ornament each year\, Texan Christmas creates collectible ornaments with a Texas Twang. They release 12 hand blown glass designs every year inspired by the great state of Texas with a modern flare. They will never have the same design twice so they encourage customers to snag the ones they love now and get ready to collect year after year. \nAbout KS WELI FoundHER Panels: \nKS WELI FoundHER panels create a safe space to discuss what it’s like to start your venture\, any questions related to entrepreneurship are welcome!
