NEW baby soft-goods business looking for Start up/Ops advicehttps://www.katesautter.com

Hi! My name is Kate, personal website linked above, and I have a successful consulting business but I want shift focus to a D2C product business in the baby industry (it's specifically a soft good line of blankets).

I have no connections in this space! I'd love to speak with people who are familiar with:

  • Critical legal awareness in this space
  • Design or product patents
  • Product testing with small production to start - specifically if you have contacts at a manufacuring company that is in the USA that you trust and recommend, that is key!
  • Baby industry in general
  • D2C brand building

Any connections are welcome, and thank you for reading.

It's lovely to meet you Kate and thank you for sharing this context!
